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

Step change advice!

I found myself in unmanageable debt and felt like I had nowhere to turn. I found step change who provided free, independent and invaluable support and advice. This was quick and efficient, they contacted debtors on my behalf and acted as a conduit with expertise that I simply don't have. I am now close to being debt free and placing this part of my life behind me Reviewed on: 15th May 2024

Excellent service with StepChange

We've had great experience with StepChange with regards to customer service,helping us manage our debt and it gives us peace of mind. Because everything is set up into one payment plan and they do the rest to divide up the monthly payments to the creditors. They've help us stay in control of our finances and not get into more debt than what we are paying off. Reviewed on: 15th May 2024

Amazing company

The support I received from Step Change has been amazing. I felt like there was no way out, but they changed that for me and took the majority of the burden. Even after being with them for just a few months, they helped me set up a plan to tackle a new debt that had arisen, without any hesitation or criticism. Reviewed on: 15th May 2024

I found myself going down a rabbit hole of paying off credit card, overdraft, loans and catalogue debts and seemingly getting nowhere of paying them off. My dad died recently and this, on reflection made my situation more hard to manage and I was burying my head in the sand.i had not had any arrears with my commitments but at the same time had hit a brick wall with the merry go round of paying these off month by month.i had contacted one of my creditors to explain my difficulties and they straight away told next contact Stepchange. Once I had made contact, gone through what I owed and agreeing on an amount each month to meet my payment to reduce what I owed I immediately felt the weight of everything leave my shoulders. That was around two years ago and I have gradually watched as my debt has gotten smaller and smaller ! I am so pleased with myself and am very thankful to Stepchange for their gracious help, understanding and non judgmental support in this matter. If you are experiencing any financial problems and find you are struggling like me then do not hesitate to make that first step ! Make that call and make positive changes in your financial life to help every day life brighter and more positive Reviewed on: 15th May 2024
