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

Invaluable help and advice

I’d gotten myself into a poor financial situation following university and didn’t think I would be able to get myself out of debt. StepChange was a life line - completely non-judgmental and helped manage my finances. Now I’m debt free! Reviewed on: 27th May 2026

Long and difficult process, unable to get hold of anyone when you call. My debt is now so much worse because nothing is in place since January. It was a huge decision to go down this path but I now just feel let down and less in control than before Reviewed on: 27th May 2026

Helpful and supportive.

Very helpful and gave good advice in what was an extremely stressful situation for myself. I felt quite embarrassed at having to get in touch but was put at ease and the process was not too bad at all. I would say to any other people in this situation to make the call and speak to one of the advisors, they do not judge and are there to help. Reviewed on: 27th May 2026
