Review of the StepChange, Debt advice:

Supportive and Caring

Stepchange is the understanding, none criticising option for anyone who has unfortunately fell into debt I would sure recommend them. Reviewed on: 3rd August 2021

Thank you Step Change!

5
My wife and I are free-lancers and we used to use credit cards and overdrafts. After running up a huge debt and paying masses of interest, we tried to re mortgage but were denied as we couldn't afford the repayments. It was a very scary and stressful time. We turned to Step Change who were incredible. They were very supportive, helpful and positive. After nearly 10 years on our Debt Plan we are only a few months away from clearing many thousands of pounds worth of debt. Thank you so much! Reviewed on: 6th May 2026

I could not have done this alone. Step change has helped me get my life and financial stability back on track. No judgement, just great support. My home life is in a good place along with my mental health. They have provided a clear affordable plan and maintain contact with me each month, but are there any time I need help. Great team. I truly appreciate their support. Reviewed on: 6th May 2026

Changed my life for the better

5
I came to StepChange 4 years ago now on the back of some advice from a friend about potential services that could help me with my debts. I was skeptical that there was anything that I could do that wouldn't be completely negative towards my entire future due to social stigmas and understanding about debt management but StepChange took all of that worry away from me. The friendly staff members that I spoke to over the phone were more than welcoming to me and didn't just help me create a sustainable and lasting plan to help tackle and overcome my debts, they also helped me come to terms mentally with my debts and come to a place where I feel comfortable again regarding my finances. While I'm still working through my debts now, I know that when/if I have any questions, StepChange will be there to talk to me and support me in making the right decisions. Reviewed on: 6th May 2026
