Review of the StepChange, Debt advice:

Dare to hope,!

I have been very ill with cancer. During my treatments I took my eye off the ball as the saying goes. Was too ill to deal with post and many many calls from people demanding money. I was becoming paranoid about the phone,the postman. Well debts don’t go away I didn’t know where or who to turn to, my life was such a mess, I was even contemplating ending it all. A friend came here and said why don’t we ring Stepchange the debt charity. I had nothing to lose but from that very first call, they made me feel like we can sort this out together and took me through every single step. Every person I spoke with was efficient,nothing was too much trouble, kind and compassionate. Made me feel like perhaps I could live a life. Am not the only person this happens to. Quite a bit of paperwork which I found daunting but even if I was stuck on silly questions I always got a real person to speak with. I can’t praise them high enough Reviewed on: 27th August 2024

Our mortgage doubled over night.

Our mortgage doubled over night. It utterly crippled us. We had debts that previously we could manage that became impossible. We didn’t know what to do. A friend recommended step change. I do t say this lightly. They saved my life. Before step change only life insurance would help us. We are and will be forever grateful to step change. Reviewed on: 6th May 2026

Helpful and professional debt advice

I had a good experience with StepChange. The process was straightforward, and they explained my options clearly without any pressure. They took the time to understand my situation and offered practical advice that felt realistic and manageable. Communication was clear throughout, and I felt supported rather than judged. It definitely helped reduce my stress and gave me a better understanding of how to deal with my finances moving forward. Overall, I would recommend their service to anyone struggling with debt and looking for honest guidance. Reviewed on: 6th May 2026
