Review of the StepChange, Debt advice:

It was absolutely fantastic help from start to finish.

5
It was absolutely fantastic help from start to finish. It took 8 days in total. I'm sitting here now a lot happier than I was 3 weeks ago. They put me forward (against their recommendation) for a DRO, which was passed 2 weeks ago, and because I have their backing, I have been able to liaise with my creditors a lot easier, and they have actually helped me due to my underlying health issues. Thank you to them all from Stepchange and also Money Wellness (the people who organised my finances and submitted my DRO application) From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU. They all deserve credit and praise for their hard work. Reviewed on: 24th August 2024

Great organisation all round

They’ve been incredible for the entire journey from being 20k in debt to 5 in under 4 years. I’m in a position now where I can realistically be clear of debt this year. This would not have been possible without them Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Did not know where to turn

5
I was heavily in debt and did not know which way to turn i couldn't sleep i dreaded the kids needing anything out of very little money we had, I struggled at Christmas and birthdays, I called Step change and was very embarrassed about my situation and when I had to tell them how much debt I was in I felt even worse, however the staff were lovely non judgemental, caring reassuring and made me feel at ease. I would highly recommend stepchange without them I don't know where I would be probably getting into more debt, now after7 years I am completely debt free and enjoying life I am not anxious anymore or ashamed and can sleep better, if this sounds like you please give it a go you will never look back and never regret it Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Couldn't be more helpful

I was in a dire position through no fault of my own previously on a debt management plan paying £100 a month in fees,upon finding stepchange that has changed and now the money I pay to them only goes to the debtors which has helped ten fold with the mental stress debt causes,in 2 years I shall be debt free and it'll stay that way!
