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

Life savers

Step change literally saved my life. I was spiralling downwards due to depression caused by over relying on credit cards and getting deeper into debt. I was struggling to pay the minimum payments and my regular bills, step change helped me work out a budget and repayments to my creditors. Thank you step change. Reviewed on: 12th August 2022

Amazingly helpful

Even now, with rocketing cost of living, Step Change have been there to help and guide me. Despite having to reduce my debt management plan payment this year I am confident, with their support, my debts will be resolved as swiftly as possible. Thanks guys. Reviewed on: 12th August 2022

True help

I must start off saying I really don't like ro ask for help ..... stepchange made that easy for me ! They guided me through a dilemma, with understanding of my lack of knowledge in this trial... For once I felt like I have truly been helped. True to word, they took care of everything from start to finish during set up . Thanks stepchange Reviewed on: 12th August 2022

You are not alone.

Being in debt is a very lonely place, the world seems inhospitable and the future bleak. The best thing I ever did was to contact Stepchange. They understood how I was feeling and guided me through taking control with facts and kindness without being judgemental. Stepchange helped me structure my finances so that I now feel confident running my budget and communicating with creditors. They helped me lift the biggest burden ever off my shoulders. My life now feels under control, I have regained my confidence and am no longer frightened of opening the post. Stepchange changed my life for the better. Reviewed on: 12th August 2022
