Review of the StepChange, Debt advice:

Retaking control

You've come to the end of your tether, swamped by red letters and final notices. So phone StepChange - one of the best half hours of your life. They sort out what you spend on what, what you owe, what you can afford to pay back after allowances are made for the amount you need to live on. Then they sort out the repayments (through them) and companies listen to them whereas they wouldn't listen to you, because they have standing. And the best bit (apart from the relief of finally doing something positive about things) is that they're a charity and won't charge you a penny. Reviewed on: 23rd April 2017

StepChange saved me from 5 figure debt blackhole

I approached StepChange when I found myself in 5 figure debt with no appealing exit in sight, these people quite simply saved me... I'm 3 years into a DMP now with almost 50% cleared, still a few years to go but there is a light at the end of the proverbial tunnel. Reviewed on: 6th May 2026

Very helpful and reassuring servic

My experience with StepChange was very positive. They explained everything clearly and made the whole process easy to understand, with no pressure at all. They took the time to review my situation and offered options that suited me. The advisors were kind, patient, and professional. I felt much more in control and reassured after speaking with them. I would definitely recommend their service to anyone struggling with debt. Reviewed on: 6th May 2026

Best FREE debt management company

I was on a different dpm with another company and I wouldn’t be nearly out of debt if it wasn’t for stepchange, helped with all my creditors and on the right track. The service is free so I wasn’t carrying on paying interest too the other company. Just wish I knew about stepchange awhile ago Reviewed on: 6th May 2026
