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 no longer have to worry about phone calls or letters demanding payments. My monthly outgoings were 5 times higher than I am paying now. I no longer need to speak to any of my creditors, they are dealt with directly by step change. Reviewed on: 7th May 2024

I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude to StepChange Debt Charity for the exceptional support they have provided me in managing my debts. From the very first interaction, it was evident that StepChange operates with a genuine commitment to assisting individuals facing financial challenges. The professionalism and empathy demonstrated by their team have been truly commendable throughout my journey. Furthermore, the accessibility of their services, whether through phone consultations or online resources, ensured that I always had the assistance I needed whenever questions arose. Thanks to StepChange, I now feel more in control of my finances and equipped with the tools to work towards a debt-free future. Their invaluable support has made a significant difference in my life, and I cannot recommend their services highly enough. In conclusion, I extend my sincerest thanks to StepChange Debt Charity for their unwavering commitment to helping individuals like myself achieve financial stability and peace of mind.

I had to give up work suddenly through ill health and found myself unable to pay off my credit cards any more. My bank, Nationwide, recommended Stepchange and they have sorted my finances for me and taken a huge weight off my shoulders, allowing me to pay off amounts I could afford to each of my creditors Reviewed on: 6th May 2024
