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

Great service .

Due to redundancy and a bereavement I found myself in financial difficulty. I didn’t know where to turn I was embarrassed to be in this situation and was in a very dark place. After contacting step change and receiving their help I am less anxious and feel that I can carry on knowing my debts are being sorted and no one is going to come knocking on my door. They have answered all my questions and dealt with both my creditors which is a great weight off my shoulders. I can’t thank them enough. Reviewed on: 2nd May 2024

One of the best companies to exist

It still amazes me how a company like StepChange exists in todays world! A FREE service that is only after one thing - to help you clear your debt in a sensible and straight forward way. It is one of the most wonderful companies I've ever worked with, supporting me to set up a DMP to pay off my debt. Without StepChange, I don't know who else I would have approached for help.

Lifesaver

I got myself in a complete financial mess due to mental health problems. I was being harrassed by banks daily and it was destroying me. My mum suggested having a look at StepChange. The best descision I ever made! Everything was done online, every time I've contacted them they have been incredibly helpful and reply within a day or so. I haven't been contacted by any banks in a few years now which has allowed me to recover and get my life back on track. If you're having financial problems, please contact StepChange!

Stepchange are knowledgeable, friendly and always want the best for their clients. I have overcome significant financial difficulties with the help and advice of StepChange. I can't recommend them too highly. Reviewed on: 2nd May 2024

Stop taking the ostrich approach

As a person who would normally bury their head in the sand and try and ignore debt, hoping the debt fairies would take it away, I have found StepChange to be a breath of fresh air. They have offered me the support needed to retake control of my debts in a manageable way. Even when I had a significant change in my financial situation, they offered me a number of options and supported me in my decision. Would highly recommend! Reviewed on: 2nd May 2024
