Stepchange are the best help ever

5
Stepchange have given the opportunity to ‘get out house in order’ we are OAPs and since retiring our income was not good so needed guidance and help to get back on the road to recovery from our long term debts. We had three credit cards, huge overdraft and overdue bills and Stepchange showed us the way and spoke to our debtors. We now have an affordable way to repay everyone and feel grateful. We now can manage our budget with care and due attention not to get into this mess ever again! No credit cards or overdraft. Thankbyou Stepchange. Reviewed on: 6th May 2026

Get yourself started.

The worst thing about using Stepchange is picking up the phone. Once you're on the phone and talking through everything with someone who’s listening, nonjudgmental, and genuinely helpful, mere weeks later you’re paying back, and finally able to breathe. If you’re in financial trouble, keep panicking, and can’t see a way out, get on the phone. Reviewed on: 6th May 2026

Can’t recommend them enough. Top team!

5
After getting myself in to a ridiculous amount of debt, I knew I had to do something. I googled Stepchange after seeing them as a free advice service. I filled out the income and expenditure form and sent it off. They worked out what I could comfortably pay and were non-judgmental. I now receive no calls from any of my creditors, just occasional letters, which have to be issued as standard to satisfy FCA rules. All in all, they have taken the stress out of everything and I can’t thank them enough for their help in getting me back in to a good place. Reviewed on: 6th May 2026

Excellent communication and outcome.

Excellent communication and outcome. Removed worry and debt collection problems. Stopped interest building up and advised on the amount of monthly payment to make without it becoming a burden. I would recommend anyone with debt problems to contact Step Change. They do not judge, and are an immediate help. Reviewed on: 6th May 2026
