Review of the StepChange, Debt advice:

Dare to hope,!

5
I have been very ill with cancer. During my treatments I took my eye off the ball as the saying goes. Was too ill to deal with post and many many calls from people demanding money. I was becoming paranoid about the phone,the postman. Well debts don’t go away I didn’t know where or who to turn to, my life was such a mess, I was even contemplating ending it all. A friend came here and said why don’t we ring Stepchange the debt charity. I had nothing to lose but from that very first call, they made me feel like we can sort this out together and took me through every single step. Every person I spoke with was efficient,nothing was too much trouble, kind and compassionate. Made me feel like perhaps I could live a life. Am not the only person this happens to. Quite a bit of paperwork which I found daunting but even if I was stuck on silly questions I always got a real person to speak with. I can’t praise them high enough Reviewed on: 27th August 2024

I wish I went to stepchange sooner without burying my head in the sand. It is very easy to set up and the staff always help and show empathy. I am now debt free for the first time in my life. My credit rating was obviously hit but I am building that up steadily to continue my life Reviewed on: 15th May 2024

Thanks SC

At a real stressful time of my life, Step change stepped in and put me at ease. 1 year into my DMP, I feel in control and can't thank SC enough for the support. Everything done online, it was simple and I wish I reached out sooner. Reviewed on: 15th May 2024

Excellent service!!! Second to none.

I've been with stepchange for a few years now and I'd be lost without them. They offer fantastic support and help take a lot of stress off my finances helping me to stick to a manageable budget. They offer a lot of tools and support in your own debt management account and are also available over the phone to support with any concerns you might have. Reviewed on: 15th May 2024
