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

During COVID we realised that it was impossible to maintain our debt. We contacted Stepchange and they assessed us before making any decisions. We did have choices too and eventually agreed on a debt management plan. Since taking out the plan, we have increased payments as our circumstances changed. It was a huge relief that all our creditors agreed to the plan and it has completely changed our lives. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

I really had got myself into trouble with money.

I really had got myself into trouble with money. I was living off of credit for day to day living. I didn't think I had anywhere to turn to. Then I stumbled across stepchange. It took a while for me to go with them. Then I rang them and it was the best decision I've ever made. I will have payed off all my debt in November this year. So happy and relieved. If you are thinking of doing it. Just do it. It's the best feeling after getting set up with them. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Loss of a partner

I recently lost my partner and we had a joint account with stepchange. They were very helpful and sympathetic with my situation and paused my account for three months so i could have a break and get things sorted. I had no pressure what so ever from them and would highly recommend. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025
