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 found myself going down a rabbit hole of paying off credit card, overdraft, loans and catalogue debts and seemingly getting nowhere of paying them off. My dad died recently and this, on reflection made my situation more hard to manage and I was burying my head in the sand.i had not had any arrears with my commitments but at the same time had hit a brick wall with the merry go round of paying these off month by month.i had contacted one of my creditors to explain my difficulties and they straight away told next contact Stepchange. Once I had made contact, gone through what I owed and agreeing on an amount each month to meet my payment to reduce what I owed I immediately felt the weight of everything leave my shoulders. That was around two years ago and I have gradually watched as my debt has gotten smaller and smaller ! I am so pleased with myself and am very thankful to Stepchange for their gracious help, understanding and non judgmental support in this matter. If you are experiencing any financial problems and find you are struggling like me then do not hesitate to make that first step ! Make that call and make positive changes in your financial life to help every day life brighter and more positive Reviewed on: 15th May 2024

Step change, nonjudgmental, understanding professionals

I went into step change debt management not sure what to expect. What I got was understanding and kind professionals who helped me to clear my debt as quickly as I could without negatively effecting my life. They helped me budget and see where I could drop some expenses without being judgemental or patronising. I would recommend this to anyone who needs help clearing their debts.
