Review of the StepChange, Debt Management:

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

Step change has made a huge difference to me.

Step change has made a huge difference to me. After my divorce I felt so out of control with my finances. Despite being lucky enough to be in a well paid job we'd accumulated debts over the years having had our 3 children young and periods of redundancy and very low income at the even the children were young. I was struggling to make my payments each month and was paying so much interest that the debts just kept spiralling out of control. I felt ashamed and dreaded every brown letter. I was too embarrassed to tell anyone and it affected my mental health. I didn't think stepchange would be able to help because I had a good salary. I was terrified they'd make me take an IVA. When I actually plucked up the courage to call them for advice I wished I'd done it years ago. The advisor was so kind, understanding and non judgemental. It was a huge relief. I'm now on a DMP and can see slowly but surely my debts are reducing. If you are worried about debt get in touch with them as soon as you can Reviewed on: 19th June 2025
