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

Excellent service in such a worrying time.

Excellent service in such a worrying time. Cannot fault any step. Reviewed on: 6th May 2026

Extremely unprofessional

Anytime I try to ring there are 50+ in the queue. They just started paying debtors without making any agreements with them (so I'm paying more interest than the payments that go in) . They did NOT pay the only priority debt - council tax arrears - so even though I paid stepchange, I still had a bayliff at the door wanting to seize my and my landlords goods. Not a single good word for stepchange. Reviewed on: 6th May 2026

Breathing again

I was drowning in debth and was not able to sleep from worrying all the time. After speaking to step change I was able to sleep again. Reviewed on: 6th May 2026

Stepchange is life changing.

Stepchange is life changing. At the start i was worrying about debt and trying to balance all the creditors. I was in a really low place when i found stepchange and they helped me from start to finish, from sorting my budget to getting all my accounts connected. I cannot recommend them enough for anyone who is struggling with debt payments. Money problems can be very mentally exhausting but stepchange really give peace of mind. Reviewed on: 6th May 2026

Excellent customer service and peace of mind

Starting the process of setting up a DMP was daunting, but I was helped every step of the way. Whenever I have called to discuss my account, the staff have always been friendly, warm and actually listen to you. My DMP has genuinely changed my life for the better. I no longer wake up dreading repayments and feel like I'm in control of changing my approach to debt and finances. Reviewed on: 6th May 2026
