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

Stepchange closed my case and returned money which I had overpaid but still had debtors chasing me afterwards as the balances were not fully settled. However, very reliable and got me out of a lot of trouble. Really they are a life line. Reviewed on: 2nd May 2024

No judgement. Just help and understanding

We were going out of our minds worrying after a change in finances left us unable to meet our commitments. After being told about stepchange we phoned them and they have been non judgemental and helped immensely with my mental health. If anyone has worries financially, please don't let it ruin your life. Contact stepchange for support and help. Nobody wants to go through this kind of thing in their lives but the fact that these post covid times has left many of us in a much different situation and it's so wonderful to have this kind of assistance.
