Review of the StepChange, Debt advice:

Retaking control

You've come to the end of your tether, swamped by red letters and final notices. So phone StepChange - one of the best half hours of your life. They sort out what you spend on what, what you owe, what you can afford to pay back after allowances are made for the amount you need to live on. Then they sort out the repayments (through them) and companies listen to them whereas they wouldn't listen to you, because they have standing. And the best bit (apart from the relief of finally doing something positive about things) is that they're a charity and won't charge you a penny. Reviewed on: 23rd April 2017

I found myself at Wits End trying to keep up with payments I could no longer maintain. After consulting with StepChange, they took control of my situation and guided me to a monthly payment that was comfortable. They spoke to my creditors and have been extremely helpful were extremely understanding when I had an accident and was unable pay my monthly payment for a while. They those payments have now resumed and I feel like a new man. No stress, no sleepless night and well in the road to clearing the slate. My credit rating is also improving.
