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

Calm and non judgmental, Stepchange picked me up and put a totally affordable payment plan into play. I’ve a little way to go yet but am sure I will be debt free in the time they gave me. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Real life saver.

Real life saver. Once StepChange became involved in our debt problems we felt that we had someone on our side. Before that we were struggling with our debts with no solution in sight. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Stress Free

Its great you can do it all on line Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

wonderful understanding staff

During a period of extreme anxiety due to mounting Legal bills I found myself between a rock and a very hard place. Not knowing where to turn a friend recommended StepChange. They were completely understanding of my situation. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Best choice I ever made calling StepChange

I had never heard of StepChange until Citizens Advice recommended them. So happy I called them, they talked me through my options & we came up with a Deft Management plan that I am able to meet each month. I won’t be debt free until 2028 but at least after years of not sleeping due to the worry I now sleep soundly. Highly recommended, extremely helpful & very friendly!!!! Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

The best thing I ever did

I had almost £20k of unsecured debt. I was barely able to make the minimum payments. Stepchange spoke with my creditors and arranged a manageable monthly payment. The relief was incredible. I felt like I had my life back. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024
