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

Best move I ever made.

Best move I ever made. After being in debt for years I was finally persuaded to take action. Now I see my debts getting smaller by the month and will be debt free in the next year. Great service, easy to set up and a big weight off my mind. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

I've received excellent advice and information from the very helpful and friendly people at stepchange, I was very worried after I was made redundant unexpectedly. They helped me work out a payment plan to pay off my debt in an affordable way. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

This was literally life and death for me.

I was at a really bad and critical point in my life, where my wages were just covering my debt payments. I wasn't able to feed my family properly,I couldn't clothes my kids, we couldn't have any nice family days together and I could barely afford petrol to get them to school. I turned to Step Change and asked for help, which for me in itself is a massive thing, I hate asking for help.But they were truly amazing! There is no judgement at all. I wasn't embarrassed in the slightest. They went through everything step by step and worked out an affordable repayment scheme and they dealt with all my creditors. From time to time I receive correspondence from the people I am in debt to, and I forward that on to Step Change and they deal with contacting them for me. I honestly could not recommend them any less. They truely have saved my life and I feel good for paying off my debts, one bit at a time. Nearly 2 years in now, a few more to go, but I am more confident in my financial situation then I have ever been. Thank you Reviewed on: 1st May 2024
