Review of the StepChange, Debt advice:

Fantastic

I was extremely overwhelmed with my debt and Step change has been amazing at helping me manage it. The main thing for me is when you call up, staff are extremely helpful and talk you through everything. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Step change literally changed my life.

Step change literally changed my life. I got myself racked up in loads of debt and kept thinking minimum payments here and there id get myself out of it along with other high interest payments and commitments. I threatened to use step change for 3 years but never took it seriously. Then I realised things had to change. I'm not nearly 5 years into my step change DMP with only around 6 payments left till I am debt free. Seeing the light at the end of the tunnel made me realise I wished I had used this service years before I finally did. All of your funds go towards your debts, the letters and calls from debt collectors all stop. I'm looking forward to a better financial future because of this service. Thank you Reviewed on: 24th May 2025

I was so out of my depth and getting worse. I contacted StepChange and they were non judgemental right from the start. They put me on a payment plan while allowing me to still have a life and enjoy things. It wasn’t easy and it took several years, but I am debt free. I cried when I got the letter congratulating me.

Five years ago I was in an impossible financial position. With fantastic support and advice from StepChange I can now see light at the end of the tunnel, and with manageable payments following non-judgemental advice should be debt-free in another 2 years. Reviewed on: 24th May 2025

I had got myself into a serious debt situation and had tried to solve the issue by trying to use multiple credit cards but that did not work it made everything worse. I turned to Stepchange who helped me to manage my repayments and how to budget my incoming and out going finances. The relif from the anxiety I had brought on myself was immense. Stepchange were kind and supportive and non judgemental everystep of the way and I can only recommend their positive excellence to anyone who is getting into uncontrollable debt. The Stepchange agency programme will help you to turn it all around and life becomes less worrisome. Thank you Stepchange Reviewed on: 24th May 2025
