Review of the StepChange, Debt advice:

It was absolutely fantastic help from start to finish.

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

Without step change intervention as I was on the verge of taking my own life. Their help in sorting out the situation I put myself in is life changing for me personally as without them reaching out a deal with my creditors I would not have managed. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

I am never judged - just helped.

I am never judged - just helped. Even when I use unkind words about myself/the situation the staff never enable it either directly or indirectly. They explain things in a non jargon way and using extensive expertise and empathy, help guide you to not only the best decision that works for you (sharing with you all your possible options) but also sustaining progress across time in a consistent yet not overbearing way. I am not penalised for errors or difficult moments, and I can navigate being debt free with ease and clarity. They also advocate well when I receive unwarranted letters for an issue that is already being handled, and their online system makes it easy to keep control, update or edit to reflect your current circumstances or any changes. I've made great progress Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025
