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

We had a debt management scheme with StepChange for approximately 10 years, yes we had a lot of debt. They were so helpful and kind, whatever happened to us, job losses, etc they were able to help us repay our debts, within our own budget. So helpful and informative as well.

Due to long term illness I had to stop working to receive treatment so I needed help to manage my debt..I live in Leicester but my illness is very rare & I get treated in Chelsea hospital London so I had to prioritise being able to afford to get to my appointments & surgery’s. The advise & help I received was Excellent, I was very surprised how much help & guidance was given in a clear & genuine way.. Being in hospital so much having this experience has really helped ease my mind that I am able to manage everything & not worry & be so anxious about it anymore. It has been a great help both financially & to my well being Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

StepChange helped to change my life

5
StepChange helped to change my life for the better and I will be forever grateful. Being in debt is like sinking slowly into a depth of worry and anxiety, it takes a hold of you and controls every aspect of everyday life. StepChange from start to finish supported me into becoming self aware and financially free of debt. Once you take the first steps you'll be able to take back control and suddenly there is light again, I can not recommend this service enough. Thank you StepChange. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024
