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

No way out?? Yes there is.

I was lost, drowning in debt with no way out. Once I contacted step change the advisor was a friendly ear and helped me both emotionally and financially. I felt shame and anger at myself for letting my situation get the better of me. Now I’m debt free having paid all my creditors back everything I owed. Step change were able to stop more interest being added to my debts and sorted a payment plan out for me and became the intermediary between my creditors and me. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

StepChange Saved the Day!!

My debts were spiralling out of control, particularly with the addition of high interest rates. I didn’t know which way to turn and then thankfully I heard about StepChange. They were absolutely invaluable with their help in working out a realistic payment plan for me with the debtors. It was such a relief to be able to talk to someone about it as I hadn’t told family or friends about my situation. I was working more than full-time hours but struggling to keep my head above water, just to pay for basic living costs. They were very understanding. I will be eternally grateful to them and highly recommend their services! Reviewed on: 1st May 2024
