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

Regain financial control and get your life back.

Having got myself financially swamped in what felt like a situation I would never get out of, StepChange brought me clarity, a solution and got me my life back. I was able to regain control, own the problem and ultimately breathe a huge sigh of relief that with StepChange help I could get this sorted for good. I have a way to go, however all is positive, I can live, not just exist and now have a completely different outlook and relationship with money. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

I was so ashamed at having to get in touch
