Review of the StepChange, Debt advice:

Retaking control

5
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

Using Step Change truly changed my life and released me from sleepless nights and constant worry. As soon as I took my head out of the sand and I made the decision to access the services I felt better. The process was easy and Step Change handled everything. I get regular updates on what I owe and feel fully in control. My only regret is not doing it sooner. I have two years left on a 6 year plan. If I’d done it sooner the debt would have been less and I’d be paid off by now. If you can’t see a way out - act now and seek help. Reviewed on: 28th May 2026

It was a difficult situation I found myself in but I was put at ease from the first contact. We all think we are the only ones in this situation! We went through all my incomings and outgoings and although it was going to be difficult we got to a figure that was accepted by all. I should have done this a year ago so my advice to anyone is contact StepChange as soon as you get into difficulty. Reviewed on: 28th May 2026

Supportive from Day 1

From the time I first approached StepChange for help ad advice, I have felt supported and informed at every stage of the process. Most importantly, I was never made to feel stupid and all communications have been positive and non-judgmental. Everything was clearly explained and sensitively explored in order to find the best possible solution for my particular circumstances. Reviewed on: 28th May 2026
