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

Gets me debt free more quickly

StepChange are a charity and do not make a profit from the assistance they provide. I initially engaged with a debt management company and became aware of StepChange via a web search. StepChange were able to put a plan together which cost me less money and gets my debts paid off more quickly. It's that simple! Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

It’s been 3 years now .

It’s been 3 years now . The initial advice was really helpful in getting a handle of the situation . It seems lenders were sympathetic at first but now are ruthless in trying to get their money back . Don’t give in to their demands . If you can no longer afford the repayments use Stepchange to take action against them Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

So Reassuring & Kind

As an organisation they have been so amazing. Everyone I have spoken too really takes the time to understand and help. Debt is such a terrible place to be and you can feel quite alone. They helped. Me take back control and as a result I was able to see a way ahead and now have a date where I can eventually be debt free Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Didnt know where to turn!

We got into serious debt and didn’t know where to turn! Step change helped sort everything out and got it into one manageable payment a month. I really don’t know what we would have done without them. Their customer service is brilliant whenever I have had to speak to someone they are very helpful and friendly. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024
