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

My debt was spiralling along with my anxiety levels.

My debt was spiralling along with my anxiety levels. I could not see any light in the dark tunnel I was in. I had looked into Debt Management Plans a few times. I finally swallowed my pride and made contact. That was when things started to get a little better very fast. The process was very straightforward and I felt supported from the outset. With the Debt Management Plan in place, I felt in control again. A huge weight had been lifted off me. Reviewed on: 2nd May 2024

I was in dire straits and they fixed it for me

I was in dire straits and just couldn't turn my debt around how much I tried. I talked to Step Change, showed them my incomings and outgoings. They worked out a plan, contacted the lenders and sorted everything out. Now I am ahead of the game and with an end date in sight. Absolutely magnificent and stopped my depression. I love them Reviewed on: 2nd May 2024
