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

Helpful Advice

The advice I've had has been very useful. Calculating a reduced amouint to pay my creditors so that they don't contact me by letter or phone anymore has greatly reduced stresss levels and increased my peace of mind. I can usually get to speak to someone the same or the next day. Reviewed on: 11th May 2026

Debt-free light at the end of the tunnel

From the first steps of listing out exactly what debt is needed, through to the implementation of the plan and then the support team waiting on the end of the telephone, the entire process has been overwhelmingly great. From realistic budgeting to help setthe repayment amounts and the complete lack of problem when I had to miss one repayment do to unexpected problems with a car, nothing ever seems like a problem. I will be debt free for the first time in my life in just over two years, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Reviewed on: 11th May 2026
