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

Years with StepChange and happier!

I have been on a DMP with StepChange for some years now and it has been the best thing I've ever done. I was in a place where I didn't know what to do and how to pay for my debts immediately, not knowing I could setup a DMP and pay my creditors with just one monthly payment. I have never had any issues with StepChange, payments have always been made to my creditors by them once I pay StepChange and anytime I have given them a call, they have reassured me and been so kind and helpful every single time. I have had times where i have cried to a staff member on the phone and I've never felt so safe in discussing my personal life. I do have quite a few years left rill I'm debt free but I'm so much happier knowing that I will be eventually even if it takes years. I would rather feel safe, reassured and relaxed knowing my debts can be paid off rather than panicking and being scared to answer my phone because of debt collectors and such. Thank you so much StepChange. This is an honest review, from someone who has been working with you for years to become debt free. I'll get there soon! :) Reviewed on: 1st May 2024
