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

Excellent care in a crisis

My partner had a health issue which ended his employment and ability to work. We didn't have any arrears but knew we couldn't keep up repayments we were advised to speak to stepchanfe and the support they provided and continue to do so is exceptional they took away all of the stress an amazing company especially for those like us,who would never have dreamed we would be in this position but you never know what's around the corner.

Poor advice

My husband found himself in difficulty following a gambling addiction that he had used a credit card for along with maxing out his overdraft. We went to StepChange for help, although their service was excellent I feel we were given wrong advice. We were advised to ignore any letters sent by creditors which resulted in a default on my husband's credit score for the sake of a small overdraft. Fast forward 3 years and all our debts were cleared and we were ready to look for a mortgage to find only 1 lender would consider us due to the default on my husband's credit score. It caused so much unnecessary stress and we are paying through our nose in interest now. Reviewed on: 22nd April 2025

StepChange have helped immensely with my debt.

StepChange have helped immensely with my debt. They have managed to get me into a manageable position with my finances within a short time by setting me up with a debt management plan. When I think back to how much stress and pressure I felt under before their help, I can't even begin to thank them enough for helping me get back on top of everything and get on with my life! Thank you so much StepChange! Reviewed on: 22nd September 2024
