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

I was in a very dark place

I was in a very dark place and could no longer face the days and nights of worry, the embarrassment of getting in to debt and then not knowing how to sort it all. I couldn't eat or sleep and my health conditions deteriorated. I was not eating more than toasted bread as I couldn't afford to eat or buy food. I had nobody to turn to or help. Stepchange changed that, gave me support, tackled the creditors, help me budget and slowly but surely I have been clearing my debt through stepchange. You helped me survive and get through the darkest times, you would cope with my tearful telephone conversations and your reassurances. My grandaughter now has a grandma and the will to live longer.

Amazing! Thank you for everything.

I was at my lowest and almost lost my home due to my relationship breaking down. The ladies and gents I’ve dealt with at StepChange were amazing. From day one until right now, every call has been friendly, personable, and empathetic. At one point I had to reduce my payments by two thirds, but as long as lines of communication are kept open and they are kept updated, they were able to keep helping me. I am now one payment away from clearing my debt plan and I can’t praise StepChange enough for all of their help and support through it all. Thank you - from the bottom of my heart - thank you Reviewed on: 2nd June 2025
