Review of the StepChange, Debt advice:

It was absolutely fantastic help from start to finish.

It was absolutely fantastic help from start to finish. It took 8 days in total. I'm sitting here now a lot happier than I was 3 weeks ago. They put me forward (against their recommendation) for a DRO, which was passed 2 weeks ago, and because I have their backing, I have been able to liaise with my creditors a lot easier, and they have actually helped me due to my underlying health issues. Thank you to them all from Stepchange and also Money Wellness (the people who organised my finances and submitted my DRO application) From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU. They all deserve credit and praise for their hard work. Reviewed on: 24th August 2024

Best Choice Ever

I was previously with a debt management company called The Financial Wellness Group who charge Very High Amount In Fees for there service I was paying £152 a month and they were taking £47 of that in fees. I see an advert appear online for StepChange so I took a look at there reviews and website and as there a charity run company no fees are charged it all looked very positive so I signed up with them. My debt will now be cleared within two years instead of six years as advised with the previous debt management company. The sign up process was straight forward and the online portal is very easy to use. I took out 60 days breathing space on my account which is a government process which means you don't pay a penny until 60 days on your account this allows StepChange to notify your creditors and so they can start sorting out the repayments amounts. Samuel (Sam) was very helpful. I have recommended StepChange to a family member who is in the process of signing up too. My advise to anyone thinking about signing up to StepChange is do it, ditch any Debt Management Company who charge fees and save ££ with StepChange. Reviewed on: 7th July 2023
