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

Joined StepChange 6 years ago Senior Citizens both in our 70’s business had to be closed due to health problems and were desperate for help. Recommended by friend to see if Step Change could help and the rest is history Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

So easy to complete online.

So easy to complete online. I did everything online and email. I get overwhelmed talking to people sometimes, so was glad they had this option. When I did have a query two months into my plan. The advisor on the phone was courteous and helpful. Not at all stressful using Step Change. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

A Lifeline for those Struggling with Debt

StepChange allowed me to claw myself out of poverty by freezing the interest on my debts and allowing me to pay them off in manageable monthly payments. I can' t thank them enough, they really turned my life around, and I've no idea where I'd be now without their help. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024
