Review of the StepChange, Debt advice:

Supportive and Caring

Stepchange is the understanding, none criticising option for anyone who has unfortunately fell into debt I would sure recommend them. Reviewed on: 3rd August 2021

StepChange Gave Me Peace of Mind and a Fresh Start

I am absolutely delighted with the support I’ve received from StepChange. From the very first contact, their team was incredibly understanding and non-judgemental, which made a huge difference during a stressful time. They took the time to listen to my situation and offered clear, practical advice tailored to my needs. One of the standout features is how easy they made the whole process. The online tools are straightforward, and whenever I had questions, their advisors were always patient and knowledgeable. I felt reassured knowing that I was getting advice from experts who genuinely cared about helping me get back on track. The biggest benefit for me has been the peace of mind. StepChange handled all communication with my creditors, which lifted a massive weight off my shoulders. Their debt management plan was realistic and affordable, and I can already see real progress in reducing my debts. If I had to mention a drawback, it would be that the initial paperwork took a bit of time to gather, but that’s to be expected with any financial process. Overall, the experience has been overwhelmingly positive. I would highly recommend StepChange to anyone struggling with debt. Their support has made a real difference in my life, and I’m genuinely grateful for everything they’ve done. Reviewed on: 6th June 2025

StepChange have changed my life and I couldn't be more grateful for the service they've offered. Because of them I am able to pay my debts without drowning in rising interest whilst balancing my monthly bills, expenses and a little on top to still enjoy life. The interface is really smart and easy to use so I love checking my monthly statements to see my balance being paid off. The team are always so helpful and judgement free which makes a huge difference. I couldn't recommend them more (and do, frequently!). Reviewed on: 6th June 2025

I was in a mess!

I was in a mess! Stepchange have assisted me to sort that mess. I have no longer sleepless nights worrying about the challenges of my debts. My partner worrying that I can not cope financially. I have been diagnosed with a neurodivere set of conditions. I used to worry everytime I got paid about how would I deal with the calls. I also used to worry about my payments not being enough. I now am in the knowledge they are being sorted. I also have not anymore the calls, threatening letters and grief that I used to have. I now just pay what I need too and know there is pain but there is light at the end of the tunnel. I also know that one day I will be past this learning from it and being able to say thank you to Stepchange. Reviewed on: 6th June 2025
