Review of the StepChange, Debt advice:

It was absolutely fantastic help from start to finish.

5
It was absolutely fantastic help from start to finish. It took 8 days in total. I'm sitting here now a lot happier than I was 3 weeks ago. They put me forward (against their recommendation) for a DRO, which was passed 2 weeks ago, and because I have their backing, I have been able to liaise with my creditors a lot easier, and they have actually helped me due to my underlying health issues. Thank you to them all from Stepchange and also Money Wellness (the people who organised my finances and submitted my DRO application) From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU. They all deserve credit and praise for their hard work. Reviewed on: 24th August 2024

When you find yourself in an awful, 'nowhere to turn' situation, I can't praise StepChange enough for the help they gave us, straight from the first contact. They gave me chance to go through everything clearly and at a pace that works for you, to get you into a position where you can see a way forward in getting back on track financially.

Peace of Mind

I had spoken to another debt management service and their fees were frightening. My sister recommended StepChange to me and it was an easy online application. I gave all the detailed relevant information and they came back with a plan for my situation. It has helped me reorganise my expenditure and taken away a huge amount of stress.

I was desperate, actually suicidal.

I was desperate, actually suicidal. I couldn't believe i could be helped. Stepchange allowed me to have a night's sleep for the first time in years. I only wish I'd found them sooner. You made me realise I wasn't the only one in such a mess. Actually, there were many people in a much worse state than me. I will never be able to thank you enough. I was terrified making the call, but I had to. I wouldn't be here now if it wasn't for your help. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025
