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

Life changing support!

I can’t say enough good things about StepChange. I had got myself into a very scary place financially due to health issues and I felt completely trapped and couldn’t see a way out. Step Change from the very beginning were so empathetic and reassuring and have taken away so much stress that I didn’t even realise I was living with. Being able to pay one single payment a month instead of 9+ AND interest has been lifesaving! Every single representative that I have spoken with has been warm and knowledgeable and I always recommend their services to friends and family who are also struggling financially. Debt can be such a taboo thing to talk about but accepting I needed help and contacting Step Change has been the best thing I’ve ever done. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

I thought I had it all under control, then out of the blue circumstances changed and in a heart beat out came the credit cards to pay for every day life while not cutting back on the luxuries. Then came the realisation I owe over £50,000.00 and interest piling on. Car and motorcycle had to be sold and no holidays……. Then I found Stepchange, one call and before anything was put in place I felt like the weight of the world had been lifted. Then came the help and support and unbelievably if was free. I have been managing to clear the debts with the help of Stepchange and I do not have to deal with the individual companies. One payment and everyone is happy. I can now see the light at the end of a very dark tunnel. Thank you Stepchange. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024
