Review of the StepChange, Debt advice:

Easy to do

Easy to deal with, easy to set up a plan. No worrying just one easy payment each month Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Such a relief

5
We were in over our heads due to my having to give up work through illness. Stepchange were brilliant. They listened and never once judged us. We have nearly finished paying it all, but are really grateful to the lovely people we have dealt with there. Would recommend them to anyone else who is finding their financial burdens weighing them down. After one phone call the weight was taken straight off of my shoulders. Reviewed on: 7th June 2025

Amazing charity

Stepchange were so helpful at a time when I was in a really bad place with debts, addiction and my mental health. They put me on the first steps to getting my problems sorted when I thought it was all a hopeless situation. I am finally getting my debts repaid thanks to the help and understanding from Stepchange. Can’t thank them enough. Reviewed on: 7th June 2025

StepChange has given me peace of mind by consolidating my debts into one simple payment. They set up a direct debit for me without any fees, unlike many other companies that take advantage of people trying to become debt-free. My only complaint is that it's not easy to get in touch with them directly, which is understandable given how busy they must be. Reviewed on: 6th June 2025
