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

Helpful Debt Management

Step Change have always been helpful and have enabled me to manage my debts without becoming overwhelmed by the situation. I'd highly recommend them to anyone who is struggling with debt and who, perhaps, can't see a way out of a financial hole. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Step change have been fantastic from the very start to now (nearly the end) I’ve never been judged once for what I got myself into, they’ve supported me and helped me get debt free! The help me set realistic repayments and took any stress away from dealing with the debt collectors/companies. So glad that I called step change and changed my finically situation around. Couldn’t have done it without them. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Don't struggle ask for help

5
I had used StepChange to help me manage my overwhelming debts. I took a debt management they talked and arranged all the payments with my creditors. The process was simple and I would just need to make a annual review to ensure I was managing my budgeting and paying the correct amount to clear my debts. I started with just £8000 of debts and next month I will make my final payment and be debt free! Its taken me a good few years but I have got there and most importantly the stress and anxiety of juggling the debt before I took out the plan disappeared I didn't get any letters other than annual statements.
