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

Theyve made such a big difference to my life

Unexpected things in life had caused me to get into debt. Although I had a good job I was unable to keep on top of things due to the living crisis. Due to the interest of credit cards I got to a point where each month I was only paying that and not the balance so was a never ending cycle. I was ashamed of this so didn’t speak up till it all got too much. I was recommended to step change by national debt line and was a very smooth process once I let them know my outgoings and income. They were so friendly, compassionate and friendly. My only regret is not reaching out for help prior to it as I was extremely stressed and unable to enjoy life. They take an affordable payment each month and with any additional income e.g a work bonus I’m able to pay it off quicker. It’s been less than 2 years and went from 8k debt, living pay check to paycheck to having less than 2k of debt left to pay. I am much more careful of what I’m spending since then and living a bit more comfortable now. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025
