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

Expert guidance every step of the way from worrying about debts to putting affairs in order. Stepchange dealt with all of the creditors on my behalf and arranged a payment structure that I could afford and the creditors accepted. The hardest part is making that first step. I wish I had done it sooner. Reviewed on: 5th May 2024

Thank you StepChange.

From the moment I engaged with StepChange they made the entire process informative and simple. The annual reviews are helpful as my circumstances have changed over the last few years. My debt management plan is tailored to allow me to repay my creditors whilst also allowing me enough time and space to plan how to clear my debt and rebuild my credit rating.
