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've received excellent advice and information from the very helpful and friendly people at stepchange, I was very worried after I was made redundant unexpectedly. They helped me work out a payment plan to pay off my debt in an affordable way. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

This was literally life and death for me.

I was at a really bad and critical point in my life, where my wages were just covering my debt payments. I wasn't able to feed my family properly,I couldn't clothes my kids, we couldn't have any nice family days together and I could barely afford petrol to get them to school. I turned to Step Change and asked for help, which for me in itself is a massive thing, I hate asking for help.But they were truly amazing! There is no judgement at all. I wasn't embarrassed in the slightest. They went through everything step by step and worked out an affordable repayment scheme and they dealt with all my creditors. From time to time I receive correspondence from the people I am in debt to, and I forward that on to Step Change and they deal with contacting them for me. I honestly could not recommend them any less. They truely have saved my life and I feel good for paying off my debts, one bit at a time. Nearly 2 years in now, a few more to go, but I am more confident in my financial situation then I have ever been. Thank you Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Life changer

I was £50k in debt mainly credit cards built up over years. I cannot thank STEP CHANGE enough. Created a Debt Management Plan for me, contacted my 11 creditors, agreed affordable pay back amounts, now all chasing calls have stopped. I can actually sleep at night again. Anyone else in similar position PLEASE make that call or register online. Changed my life. If this review works for one other person out there it is worth me doing it Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

It has helped me massively to plan my debts now and stay to reduce them Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

I was frightened, and no longer able to function

I was frightened, and no longer able to enjoy any aspest of my life, my debts had completely taken over, I did not believe any solution could be found, put in place and actioned. Picking up the phone and asking for help was one of the hardest things to do, I never felt judged, but always encouraged to take some control. Truly thank you. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024
