Review of the StepChange, Debt advice:

Steps to mindful financial management

4
Step Change provided informative and easily accessible financial management support, at a time when I felt overwhelmed by debt and without any other alternative repayment options. Reviewed on: 9th June 2025

No Judgement.

5
Absolutely no judgement, really easy to talk to, and I hate talking about money with anyone. Change of circumstances due to The Pandemic all set up with ease. You do need to provide names and account numbers of each debt. They work out from your budget what is the maximum you can afford and share it amongst everyone you owe money to. I started in June 2020 and won’t finish paying everyone off until August 2027. Such a relief I would have struggled to do it by myself. They are AMAZING. Thank you. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

I got some relief years ago when I engaged Stepchange as I am on benefits. However I don't have any idea when I will be debt free or how long my really expensive payment to Stepchange will go on. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Reaching out to StepChange was one of my best decisions, the anxiety and pressure was released and a way forward achievable. Don't worry or be proud, they are excellent at finding solutions to what can seem like severe problems. I can not recommend the service and support enough. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

My Anxiety was through the roof ...

I panicked so much about the debt build up I had but stepchange made it simple for me and helped even when I struggled further they were so understanding and helpful and very friendly. My anxiety and depression were through the roof not knowing what I’d do because I couldn’t afford to keep going in 5 years I’ve paid off my debt and not been worried Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Extremely patient with excellent P R Skills.

5
Extremely patient with excellent P R Skills. Put me to my ease and nothing was too much trouble. Very informative and went through everything to get me the best solution, of which I am extremely grateful. 1 have been with Stepchange for about 20 years on and off, I don't know where I would be without them. My debt advisor was Nick, with lots of experience in helping people, and I hope to have continuity with him again. Thank you so much. Carol Croft Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025
