Review of the StepChange, Debt advice:

No hassle no judgment help

5
Step change help us sort ourselves out without any fuss or judgement. They explained all the details and options and helped us follow through our plan. Also explained how to desk with the creditors. Fantastic service showing us "light at the end of the tunnel ". Reviewed on: 9th June 2021

There is no shame in seeking a debt management plan

5
Stepchange helped us to acknowledge our debts without judgement and was instrumental in setting up a payment plan. They have helped and advised us on annual payment plans and contacted accounts on our behalf. They have been invaluable. Accessing account on line is easy, but they are only a phone call if needed. We are coming to the end of our plan and can finally look forward to peace of mind. There is no shame in admitting and accepting debt help, it can happen to anyone. It is certainly difficult at start as bank accounts had to change and no credit available for anything like phones, washing machines etc ; every penny is accounted for. But we persevered and educated ourselves with money along the way. Cannot recommend then highly enough. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Non judgemental and solution focused

Polite, engaging, compassionate and empathetic staff. Sympathetic to people’s circumstances and very professional. I no longer feel like I’m drowning and can swim again. It all felt too much - the service is invaluable in this cost of living crisis! Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025
