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

I was in a financially critical position and being hassled by companies and my bank, plus rent arrears. It was becoming extremely detrimental to my mental health, exacerbating my PTSD and inducing suicidal thoughts. Contacting Step Change was a godsend, I felt the pressure lift off my shoulders almost immediatly. Reviewed on: 2nd May 2024

My lifeline

StepChange were non judgemental when I made contact and I felt I could discuss my debt in confidence.. StepChangee were my advocate and negotiated with my creditors a regular monthly payments that I could maintain.. Yearly reviews of my finances and an end date to be debt free helped motivate me to keep my payments up. Every time a payment was taken I felt relief. I knew there was also emotional and practical support if I needed it by just calling the advisor.. Reviewed on: 2nd May 2024

I was in a difficult situation Financially because of the pandemic and Step Change have helped me without them I don’t know where I’d be today So I can’t thank them enough, and I highly recommend them to anyone in financial difficulties Reviewed on: 2nd May 2024

Overwhelmed with debt.

I was overwhelmed with debt and the interest being added to it every month meant it was going to take forever to pay it all off. Enter Stepchange, who took the weight off my shoulders, organised a repayment schedule with all my creditors and, most importantly, stopped the interest being added to my debt. I was debt free after 2-3 years of repayments and again able to rebuild my credit rating. Don't even think about using Stepchange, just DO IT!. Reviewed on: 2nd May 2024

I've been using stepchange for a while now and the relief I get from knowing that I don't have to deal with my creditors is just so reassuring I have no stress because I pay each month by direct debit to stepchange and they do the rest. Reviewed on: 2nd May 2024
