Review of the StepChange, Debt advice:

Dare to hope,!

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

DMP - Stepchange

Stepchange have helped me tremendously since Oct 2022 with a debt management plan for my debts. After COVID in 2020 my finances were all over the place and I lost my main job and was barely making ends meet with my second job and then falling pregnant end of 2020 my finances were completely finished and I could not keep up the payments to my credit cards and bnpl accounts. I asked for help from them and they have made my life much easier now with one simple payment each month to my debts and thanks to them I will be debt free a lot sooner than if I had tried to tackle the issues on my own.
