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

A couple of years back, things were coming to a head financially with loans and credit cards. I called step change and got everything managed, calls and E-mails to set up a payment plan and they sorted out with my creditors. Reviewed on: 15th May 2024

Knowing that Stepchange was at the end of the phone with help and advice without judging helped me sort out my life as well as downpay my debts. They acted as a buffer between me and my creditors. There were regular reviews of my income and outgoings which helped to keep me on track. Reviewed on: 15th May 2024
