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 so worried about what would happen and how we would navigate out of our debt. Circumstances changed for us and we couldn’t see a way out. We got in touch with step change and I couldn’t believe how amazing they were. They literally went over everything with us and I mean everything-even things I hadn’t taken in to account. They took every single pressure we had away. We didn’t need to get in touch with the creditors. All information was given to step change and they sorted everything out. We chose DM as that what worked for us. However there were more option's available. the first call took a few hours so please make sure you’ve the time before ringing-not before the school run or just about to leave for work. Make sure you’ve got all your debts letters with account numbers and amounts you owe. Once you’ve gone through all of that. That’s it. Step Change literally do everything else for you. Once a year you revise your budget so payments can either go up or down depending on your budget. You can call or look online at things. I honestly couldn’t think of a better company to get in touch with regarding debt and your money struggles. They have been amazing for us for years. Reviewed on: 24th May 2025

Life changer

StepChange , or CCCS as it was when I signed up for their help , managed to get me out of a very difficult and sometimes dark place . I really had no place to turn and ironically it was one of my creditors who put me on to you whilst they were calling me chasing for payment !! Can’t thank you enough , my life changed after that initial consultation , felt like a lead weight taken off my shoulders. Reviewed on: 24th May 2025

I can’t thank StepChange enough

I can’t thank StepChange enough for the support they’ve given me over the past couple of years. When I first reached out, I was overwhelmed and scared about my debt situation. I honestly couldn’t see a way forward. But StepChange helped me breathe again. From the very beginning, they were compassionate, non-judgmental, and incredibly knowledgeable. They worked with me to create a realistic plan, and since joining their program, I’ve already paid off a third of my debt. That in itself is a huge relief, but more than that, I no longer feel crushed by financial worry every day. They’re always on hand if you have questions or just need reassurance, and that level of support makes all the difference when you’re feeling anxious or unsure. StepChange has helped me go from feeling hopeless to genuinely seeing a future ahead—and for that, I will always be deeply grateful. If you’re struggling, please reach out to them. They truly are a lifeline. Reviewed on: 24th May 2025
