Review of the StepChange, Debt Management:

Non-judgemental help when you might need it the most

5
StepChange offers a very supportive and valuable service for those looking to manage their debt. The benefits of having a structured plan and supportive staff help alleviate the stress associated with debt. For anyone struggling with debt, you have to make the first step and then StepChange will handle the rest -- they negotiate with your creditors and do a fantastic job of making sure all you have to do is make one payment which is shared amongst your creditors -- if this is too much, or too little, you can easily make changes and it all updates quickly.

Great support

5
It took us 4 years to clear our debt but with the support of Step Change and their staff it all went very smoothly and it took the anxiety and stress out of the process. It was difficult at times and when we had a blip the staff at Step Change guided us through it. It was such a great feeling to see our debt clear. We now have the confidence to go forward. We thank them for all their help and would highly recommend using their services. Reviewed on: 10th June 2025

Wouldn't know where we'd be without Stepchange. We're so grateful they do all that they do and gave us some light in what was a very dark time. Struggling with debt, not knowing what to do they have given us a plan of action, been very reassuring and have finally given us some peace of mind and excitement for the future. They are always very helpful, patient and understanding. Reviewed on: 10th June 2025

I can sleep easier now.

5
I was with another debt manager agency before StepChange, they made me feel stupid and I felt bullied into paying £40 a month for their help. StepChange are supportive, kind and really do help you manage your debts. They deal with your creditors, which takes a huge amount of stress away. They help you work out what you can afford to pay and still keep your creditors happy. You have an online account so you can easily track what is going on and report changes in your circumstances. And this is all free, i can now see some light at the end of the tunnel and I'm able to sleep easier. Reviewed on: 10th June 2025

Help when in a desperate financial situation

I felt like I was in a desperate financial situation and Step Change helped steady the ship and stop me from sinking. They lifted the weight off my shoulders and the worry drained away. They contacted my debtors stopped the interest accumulating and discussed a manageable repayment plan with me. I’m now debt free having paid it all off. Reviewed on: 10th June 2025
