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

Gave me hope Gave me a life

I can't praise stepchange enough I have a IVA with them. I was drowning in debt I felt so low it was a tough time the process was smooth they helped all the way and have been fantastic ever since if I've had to contact them or during my annual review. I always recommended them to people if I hear there struggling. There is still a taboo about debt it's only certain people etc but that is far from the truth it can and does effect everyone from all different walks of life and backgrounds. Stepchange support you every step of the way give you hope in the dark days give you a life back and eventually the aim is to be debt free. Just over 12 months for me and I will have finished they do except you to want to do it and follow the required procedures which is how it should be it's going to feel amazing keep up this incredible work stepchange Reviewed on: 13th August 2022

Highly recommended

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

remove the worry!

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 can breath again

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. Step Change make us feel like we can breath again plus they don't charge a fee or take a percentage. Reviewed on: 13th August 2022
