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

Fantastic Service

From the very first interaction with Step Change I felt they really cared and wanted to help. They have helped me go from sleepless nights on how I was going to continue affording things to being able to see a way through. If anyone were to ever tell me they needed help with money I would a million percent recommend Step Change. They made the process simple and not at all stressful. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Still not out of debt but making regular payments

I wouldn’t be in the situation I’m in now if it wasn’t for the super friendly and helpful people on the other end of the phone at step change, calls sometimes can be up to an hour and after a long que on the phone it makes a big difference to talk to someone friendly and on your side Reviewed on: 1st May 2024
