Review of the StepChange, Debt advice:

Steps to mindful financial management

4
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

My first call to Debt Change was My best decision.

5
The first phone call actually changed my life! My worries were lifted & I actually got some sleep. The person on the phone was so reassuring & helped set up a dmp which is still working. No blame, & debtors stopped hassling me because they know they are getting as much as I can afford. Reviewed on: 24th July 2021

Keeping Solvent

Thanks to Step Change, I've remained solvent these past 30 months. Without their help I 'd have found things so much more difficult and complicated. Reviewed on: 24th July 2021

empathy like no other

i talked to a few organisations about my difficulties which occurred due to some life changing events. Most were unhelpful at best but Stepchange were in the beginning amazing and have continued to be so if not better. The empathy, understanding and patience shown by their employees is just brilliant.

Reassuring and non judgmental

5
At a time when I didn't know what to do or where to go Step Change were recommended to me by a creditor. I remember being so scared when making that initial call but everyone I dealt with was so supportive and positive I finally believed there was a way out of my debt. Hopefully my plan will end in a little over 12 months and I can't thank Step Change enough for their help and support over the years. Reviewed on: 24th July 2021
