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

I was struggling financially and had got myself into a real mess. I told no one as I was so ashamed. That much I was thinking horrible thoughts. I had everything going for me then it all started through gambling. Stepchange really did change my whole input on life and helped me get through the most traumatic time ever. Thankyou Reviewed on: 6th June 2025

StepChange changed my life!

5
StepChange changed my life! I contacted them when my marraige broke down and I didn't know how to cope with all the debt we had accumulated in my name (foolish I know in hindsight.) They were helpful and calming, and understanding. There have been frustrations over the years, as I changed my name and creditors wouldn't accept it, but StepChange as an organisation and the individuals were so supportive and helpful.
