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

A lifeline when needed!

We had been let down in our business by 2 companies that owed us £30,000, and when we went to sell the business, ostensibly to pay off our mortgage, we had 3 interested parties,, but it came to no avail. My wife did some research and StepChange came to our rescue. There was no 'blame naming', just friendly, helpul advice. A great company. Reviewed on: 28th July 2022

Saved my life?

I was getting desperate about my situation some years ago. I had gotten myself in serious debt and didn't know what to do as my bank at that time couldn't or wouldn't help me. I was having dark thoughts due to this and suffering with depression. I was put in touch with Stepchange. They were amazing. They helped me to feel hopeful again and to stop feeling guilty about my debt situation. I am now nearly debt free and by this time next year my debt management plan will be finished, thanks to Stepchange. They have helped and guided me all through the plan and I cannot fault their service. Kind, considerate and helpful. And yes, they may have saved my life! Thank you Stepchange.

Always help no matter what

Whenever you’re having a rough month, feeling low about bills, worrying about the plan and if I can pay on time, they always have options for you, puts you at ease and feel so much better talking to them over the phone, they’re very sympathetic and never judge you. I just had a baby and maternity pay isn’t great so I had a review and feel they really understood my circumstances and still get to enjoy time with my son on a low income.

Support when you need it

We had large debt problems with credit cards,they have supported us to pay what we can afford monthly by budgeting.We are now seeing the light at the end of a very long tunnel.We couldn’t have made progress without them. Reviewed on: 28th July 2022

I was getting into a large spiral of debt driven by credit cards. It was hard to pick up the phone but once these guys worked through the problem with me. Took a lot of stress off

Also helpful and very responsive. Reviewed on: 28th July 2022

Absolute life savers

I approached StepChange when overwhelmed with debt, not knowing how to manage it and the stress that came with it. At no point during the setup process did I feel chastised or made to feel bad for my debt, which in itself was such a relief. I’ve been with them now for 2 years and I’m nearly at the point of clearing off my debt, the thought of which brings me hope and excitement that I never would have dreamed of having before.

Outstanding

Our life was spun upside down when my Husband owned up to his gambling disorder in 2018. We were close to losing our house! But Stepchange were there for us, every step of the way! They helped us budget our money along with communicating with all our creditors - this took all the stress and anxiety away from us. Thank you, Stepchange. You have changed our lives!
