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

Amazing and reassuring

My initial call into StepChange, I was quite emotional and ashamed at how bad things had got. The call handler was amazing and so reassuring. Things were handled sensitively and the bombarding of letters stopped and I had time to breath. Reviewed on: 15th May 2024

Honestly, best phone call I ever made!

Step Change were recommended to me 9 years old and since making contact with them at that time I have never looked back. They have made all my debts hassle free. I pay them one affordable payment each month and they do the rest. Since setting up my plan I have referred a few friends to them also. Anyone with any debt problems, please don't let the stress make you ill, just contact Step Change straight away, they REALLY do help xx Reviewed on: 15th May 2024

Stepchange saved me from a breakdown

5
Stepchange came into my life after Covid caused me to fall behind with my financial payments. I was under so much stress, juggling bank, credit card and bill payment and they handled arranging me to pay back my debts through one payment to them and they sorted the rest. Unfortunately I am still paying my debt off as the creditors had originally charged me so much interest but I am hopeful to get back on track in a couple of years. Stepchange really help me to not have a breakdown. Thank you Stepchange. X Reviewed on: 15th May 2024
