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

Don’t bury your head in the sand. Speak to Stepchange.

5
For numerous reasons, I found myself in a lot of financial trouble and had a lot of institutions continually making contact quite rightly attempting recompense. The problem was that due to my circumstances at that time I had no way of meeting my obligations and the continual contact added to my already stressful situation. A friend recommended Stepchange and told me how they’d helped him in the past so I gave it a go. Truely glad I did. They helped organise a payment plan that was affordable, the phone calls and letters stopped and I’m currently in a position where two thirds of my debts are paid off and I can see light at the end of the tunnel. If I’d have continued burying my head in the sand and not reached out to Stepchange, I dread to think what would’ve happened. Whatever your circumstances, they can help. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

A helpful charity. Kind staff on helpline.

I was struggling with monthly payments and found Stepchange. Yes it’s helpful but I feel a bit vulnerable without credit cards and really struggled with car expenses when my car failed its mot. Get as much money behind you as you can before signing up with a debt charity (that seems strange) but it’s helped me a little. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Quick to sign you up to a plan but slow afterwards when any issues arise Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Overall a great service from Step Change.

I did have a big problem earlier in the process with step change because they initially sent me down the wrong debt management route. This was later corrected by another employee, and this time things went smoothly. Despite this problem, the staff at step change were friendly, understanding and very easy to deal with. It was a great relief to find a solution to my debt problems, and get started to repay them. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025
