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 don't know where I would be right now without Step change. I've been on a Debt Management Plan with them for a few years now, before you judge- several circumstances contributed to me finding myself in a position where I was literally drowning in debt. Step change were the lifeline I didn't know I needed, they have helped me immensely and I know I will eventually pay back all I have borrowed with their support. I have spoken with their agents on many occasions and have always come off a call feeling respected, understood and supported. Reviewed on: 27th May 2026
