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

Step-change, my peace of mind.

Without Step-Change things would be so different for me.They never judge, are empathetic and friendly. I put off contacting anyone before them as I was so anxious about what would happen to me. I wish I’d contacted them sooner. They are amazing. I couldn’t recommend them more. Reviewed on: 12th May 2026

Great advice from StepChange they were on my side

I lost my job and got into quite a bit of debt on my credit cards. I then struggled to find work due to ill health. I was being put under a lot of pressure from the credit cards providers. I turned to StepChange and they took that stress away and I immediately felt I was not alone and someone was on my side for a change. They gave me great advice and I am managing to get my debt paid off. Reviewed on: 12th May 2026
