Review of the StepChange, Debt Management:

Life saving help

5
I was very close to a breakdown after spiraling into debt and other unforeseen circumstances. I was referred to Step Change and during my first call I felt like a weight had been lifted, I broke down during the call but I was reassured throughout with full explanations on what to expect. My help was tailormade and I am now one year away from debt free. I am proud to say that I will not be going back to a life of loans or credit cards. When this over donuts will be on me.

From the initial contact with the team to now the service has been very good. They explained everything to me and found the best plan that worked for me and my family. They give regular updates and respond to queries I have quickly. I would highly recommend them to anyone struggling with debt Reviewed on: 10th June 2025

Six Star Rating, in my opinion!!

I'm reviewing on behalf of my 89 year old father who got into financial difficulties a few years ago, at which time, Step Change were recommended to us. From the very first phone call it immediately felt that they were working for us and had our interests at the forefront, rather than a giant corporate bank. They took us through the process and together we built my fathers plan based on incomings/outgoings. Using their experience they raised questions regarding dads expediture for items not shown on bank statements or infrequent purchases. The outcome was a proposed plan to reduce his debt over time but wasn't going to leave him in difficulties that may lead to further debt, Once we finalised that, Step Change took over and negotiated directly with those organisations who he was indebted to. We were notified that the plan had been agreed and then we simply created a Direct Debit to Step Change for the agreed monthly payment. Beyond that all we have done is annually review the plan to update incomings/outgoings to and refine payments as required. Step Change have been an unbelievable help to my father and I, especially as I manage his finances but live quite some distance away, Thank you Step Change Reviewed on: 10th June 2025
