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

I was in a terrible state both mentally and financially and didn't know what to do about either! A friend of mine recommended contacting Stepchange and it was the best thing I ever did, they contacted all my creditor's and arranged an affordable action plan to pay them back, they take a payment once a month and pay my creditors which has taken a huge weight off of my shoulders, their advice has been brilliant and the website is very user friendly so I would strongly recommend them to anyone who is struggling with debt Reviewed on: 15th May 2024
