Review of the StepChange, Debt advice:

Steps to mindful financial management

Step Change provided informative and easily accessible financial management support, at a time when I felt overwhelmed by debt and without any other alternative repayment options. Reviewed on: 9th June 2025

Highly recommended

5
I had problems financially & ended up in debt, with credit card & bank loans mounting. This situation was really worrying & I was so stressed about my situation & didn’t know how to try & resolve the predicament I was in. Then a friend suggested I get help from a charity that helps people with debt management, I did then approach Step Change & they have transformed me life, by helping me manage my finances & gradually pay off my debts in a consistent & manageable way. Since then it’s been 8 years now, & I’m much more careful with money & with step change’s help I haven’t accumulated any further or new debts, which is such a relief. I am extremely grateful & would highly recommend Step change for an award for the amazing work that they are doing. Kind Regards Jay Reviewed on: 13th August 2022

When having to close my company due to ill health I was left with debts that I couldnt pay as I no longer had a salary. I had massive anxiety and couldnt sleep with the worry. Stepchange helped me to find a way forward with a Debt Management Plan. It was a huge relief to have them on my side and at last I could sleep at nights. Reviewed on: 13th August 2022

I simply felt like we were drowning. Due to illness I could no longer work full time and my husband started to care for me more & more meaning he also couldn't work full time.
