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

Going down the right path.

A financial nightmare many years ago resulted in us calling Step Change. From the beginning they put our minds at rest that they could help us. A long journey began to clear our debts but throughout the many years they provided excellent service. Reviewed on: 26th May 2025

Finding StepChange has stopped all my worrying & im less stressed. It’s been so easy to set up on line. My friend doesn’t like the internet so she read my paperwork & you can also have paperwork posted to you. It’s great Reviewed on: 26th May 2025

StepChange, changed my situation.

StepChange, like it's word helped changed my situation. Their support brought calmness in the times of adversities- constant calls from creditors, letters and emails made it very difficult for me to have a good night sleep. However, once StepChange came on board my creditors were sorted, no more phone calls letters or emails from them. The staff members were so great, calm and supportive in a non-judgemental way.

The service is free!

The service is free! Customer service is excellent from start to finish. I am now debt free, it was a process but I got there and paying what was affordable. I couldn't recommend enough, what a relief when things get sorted and I could breathe again. Honestly, the customer service workers were kind and compassionate and none judgmental Reviewed on: 26th May 2025

Don't despair, contact Step Change!

I was in the depths of despair before I contacted Step Change. Within days my life changed. A great burden was lifted off my shoulders, my depression went and I was able to live my life more or less normally. Reviewed on: 26th May 2025
