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

They really helped me.

5
They really helped me out when I was in bad financial difficulty due to lack of working hours and my debts were out of control. I was on a token payment for quite a while but StepChange were very patient and new that I was desperate to get a full time job. Eventually I did and even though I'm now on a Debt Management Plan through them I'm at least paying more towards my debt and they will be cleared sooner than expected. This is a fantastic company willing to really help people in dire need, can't thank them enough as I'm sure it will be quite a tough job to do Reviewed on: 1st May 2024
