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

I would urge anyone who is struggling with debt to contact Stepchange. Due to Chronic illness and being unable work full time I ended up debt. They have really helped me without shame or blame, and helped ease a psychological burden. Reviewed on: 9th May 2024

Step Change saved my life

When I contacted step change I was embarrassed and broken. Everything initially happened online so I didn't have to speak to anyone. I was depressed and suffering with acute stress and anxiety so conversation was not easy. I didn't need to speak. The online form helped and gave me an understanding of what I needed to do and what my options were. seeing an instant affordable repayment plan gave me hope. When I agreed to the plan a massive weight was lifted. When I did need to speak to a person they were and are so empathic. They are calm and reassuring. They contacted all the banks and took control and agreed on my behalf what was affordable. Step change will never really understand what they have done for me. They have given a reason to continue with life. I still have to pay what I owe (63K) but the interest which was drowning me has stopped. Paying it back is important to me and gives me self worth. I will be debt free in 39 months (initially was 42 but Ive paid 3 instalments. Massive thank you to step change. You are life savers Reviewed on: 9th May 2024

Triumph After Adversity

There are times in life when everything comes crashing down on you. I suspect that the cost of living crisis has made many people feel like that. I asked StepChange for help when I was at my lowest point. They picked me back up, worked out the best options for my circumstances and helped me to agree a plan with my debtors. StepChange is the equivalent of a trade union for people in financial crisis, I felt that they care about the little people, they had my back. Reviewed on: 9th May 2024

Stepchange have given us our life back.

Stepchange have given us our life back. We were in the circle of debt and not getting anywhere no matter what we did ourselves. Credit companies do not genuinely care and pay lip service when you ask for help and make it so difficult and can be judgemental. Stepchange have made managing our debt simple and without to much stress. It is still up to us to manage our finances and do the work but Stepchange help with that. Reviewed on: 9th May 2024
