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

Amazing service

Very helpful I don't keep getting the creditors sending me emails ask for more money or bugging me to phone them Reviewed on: 7th June 2025

Such a relief

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

Lifeline

From start to finish they provide you with tailored support around your needs. The best customer service and focus to get you back in control of your finances. One of the best decisions I ever made was contacting them and getting help. Reviewed on: 7th June 2025
