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

This is your chance at a lifeline; 100% recommend

This is your chance at a lifeline; don’t underestimate the impact of your first call to Stepchange. There is no judgment, just listening and understanding. And… a way forward. When my husband lost his business he hid the legacy debt from me, until it was almost too late. A friend recommended Stepchange so we sat together and called. The call handlers are empathic and calm. They made us see the road ahead and what we needed to do. They took a huge weight from us and contacted companies for us (where possible). I’m honestly not sure how we would have sorted things without them. Spiraling debt can happen to anyone - don’t feel bad and don’t let it destroy you. It’s a long road but, hey, everyone has bills to pay, it’s all part of the journey. Reviewed on: 8th June 2025

My financial life looked brighter!

The day I spoke to Step Change, was the day my financial life started to look brighter! Was paying off debts with credit cards and not making a dent in my payments as interest rates were high. After the 1st call to step change, we made a budget with no judgement and 6 years later, DEBT FREE! Could not have done that without them. I have encouraged some friends and family to use Step Charge to help with finances. Big Thank You to you all! Reviewed on: 8th June 2025

A great help with releasing the burden of debt

Step Change have helped me to sort out my finances so I actually have money to live on. My debts were so high and such a burden, they prevented me from doing the simple things in life with my family. The debt management plan was a smooth process and Step Change gave me all the help and advice I needed. Reviewed on: 8th June 2025
