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 was having a very difficult time with my finances -initially I was very anxious to make contact with StepChange and had to pluck up the courage. They were extremely helpful and after talking to them they arranged a Debt Management plan for me which eased my anxiety. I cannot thank them enough and would advise anyone in a similar position to make contact with them. Reviewed on: 3rd May 2024

Contacting Stepchange was the best thing i have ever done. The advice and helpfulness has continued throughout my management plan. All the people i have spoken to have been friendly and sympathetic and although it was hard to change the way i managed my money or rather didnt as i near the end of my plan it has been worth it. My creditors after knowing i was with Stepchange were accepting of my situation and all agreed to the arrangement that was suggested which was such a relief . Stepchange literally changed my life.
