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

Had help from Step Change to help me with my finances which I was struggling with and they were excellent Reviewed on: 4th May 2024

The flexibility of Step Change.

5
Step Change have been really helpful in setting up an affordable plan to pay off debts. When I needed some dental treatment recently, it was very straightforward to reduce payments, for 3months, to cover that expense. When our energy bill went up it was easy to permanently reduce monthly payments. This gives peace of mind which is invaluable. Reviewed on: 4th May 2024
