"StepChange has been incredibly helpful, providing much-needed reassurance during the challenging journey of managing debt. It's comforting to know that such a supportive organization exists. I would highly recommend StepChange as the first point of contact for anyone seeking debt advice.The team are kind, understanding, and completely professional, with a reassuringly non-judgmental approach. When you're at a low point in life, the last thing you need is to feel worse — and they ensure you don’t. The advice they provide is solid, the process is straightforward, and they tailor the best options to suit your needs. Once everything is set up, the process can be managed entirely online unless you need to reach out with questions." Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

The service was so comforting when I was very vulnerable - no judgements and competent people offering me options I wasn’t aware of. Now almost all of my creditors are waiting for payment until I get my mortgage back on track and I have been sleeping so much better. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

You gave us hope.

When we realised, coming up to retirement that our credit card bill was more than we were going to be able to handle on our pensions so we called StepChange, explained our situation to them and asked for their help. They spoke to our creditors and sorted everything out for us with a debt management plan that allowed us to lead a normal stress free retirement while paying off our debt. We would have been in real trouble if it hadn’t been for them. Thank you a million times over StepChange. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025
