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

StepChange don't charge me a fee so all the money reduces the debt. They worked out an affordable plan. Without them I would have probably suffered a complete breakdown. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

A 5-star service

StepChange has helped me to manage my debt by offering support & freezing lender’s interest. Having debts consolidated means I now have only one payment leaving my account each month which is set to my personal budget. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Finally debt free! .

After years of being in debt I finally reached out. And I am so pleased I did! The staff are helpful non judgemental and helped explain the whole process and how it would affect me and my credit score. Just under 4 years and I have paid back everything I owed. I feel accomplished and proud, but most importantly thankful for the help I received. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024
