Review of the StepChange, Debt advice:

Amazing .... Thank You

I believe Step Change saved me. I was struggling to keep my head above water and there seemed to be no way out but Stepchange helped me so much. If your struggling then please make contact with them. Reviewed on: 24th May 2025

I am within a year of being clear of debt!

I started my plan about 2 years ago. I am within a year of being clear of debt, which was unmanageable before I entered into the arrangement. Very clear guidance and helpful staff. A non-profit organisation, so all my money goes towards paying my debts. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

From despair to hope for the future

When the cost of living crisis hit we started to really struggle and debt we had previously been just about able to pay we no longer could. We started to spiral until we came to a point where we thought we were going to default on our mortgage and lose our home. We were pointed in the direction of step change and it was the best thing that could of happened we got breathing space so all our bills stopped for a short time allowing us to catch up and focus in paying our mortgage. They then helped us to plan our budget and worked out what we had available after our living costs to pay back to our creditors. Step change contacted them all and handled all the repayments so we pay one sum to step change a month and they look after everything else. As time has gone on and our income and expenditure has changed it’s really simple to inform step change and they alter the repayments accordingly. I can’t say how grateful my wife and I are to have found step change and for the help they have given us we were literally in the pits of despair and they lifted us out and showed us the way forward.

I was in a very bad place.

I was in a very bad place. My anxiety was through the roof, I thought I would lose everything. Step Change held me, listened, enabled me to confront my situation and deal with it. This was on me, no one else to blame but I was never judged. I had huge debt, in 3 months I will be debt free, I’m not sure if it will be an anticlimax, whether I will even believe it, but could not have done this without support from Step Change. My bank were pretty good too who led me to them. Had a succession of job losses, I may lose this one again soon but I will make debt free, no more credit, managed without, head came out the sand. Thanks to all the team who I have spoken to and supported this process with me. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Once my DMP was set up it ran very smoothly and without hiccup as long as the agreed money to pay the DMP was in my account. I can view my plan at any time. It takes a weight off my mind. Intend to stay with Step Change until my debts are cleared. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

If I could leave a 10 star rating I would.

If I could leave a 10 star rating I would. I was almost at breaking point financially. I couldn't see a way out....I was then told about Stepchange. I made 1 phone call and everything changed. They eased all my fears and concerns. Told me what to do, since then no more calls from creditors, no debt collection visits and no CCJ. One affordable payment, that was nearly 7yrs, ago. I am so close now to not owing a penny to anyone in this world. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025
