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 my life back

Step change helped me when I felt I had no where to turn and couldn’t see any light due to debt. The people I spoke to were kind, non judgmental, knowledgable and I felt supported every step of the way. They gave me options and supported me to make decisions that were best for me. Picking up that phone was the best thing I ever did, I only wish I had done it sooner Reviewed on: 16th August 2021

Step Change lifted a massive weight off my shoulders

I was under a lot of pressure due to debt and couldn't see any hope for the future. I contacted a couple of companies who could help, but they would have charged me every month for their services. Then someone recommended Step Change, who were so helpful and patient. They simply lifted the weight of debt off my shoulders. They gave me hope for my future when at one stage I had none. I am now managing my life and paying back the debt monthly at an affordable amount. It has given me space to breath. Thank you Step Change I don't know what I would have done without you Reviewed on: 12th August 2021

The only refuge in the eye of the storm

Step Change was the only friend in my darkest of hours a few years back. Having found myself in a perilous financial situation not of my own making, the walls were closing in on me and i had nobody else to turn to. Then Step Change helped me out and provided me with help, advice and so much needed refuge from the relentless torment of creditors hell bent on crushing me. You really learn who you friends are when trouble comes and they don't come any better than Step Change. Life savers !!!! Reviewed on: 10th August 2021
