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

They really helped me.

5
They really helped me out when I was in bad financial difficulty due to lack of working hours and my debts were out of control. I was on a token payment for quite a while but StepChange were very patient and new that I was desperate to get a full time job. Eventually I did and even though I'm now on a Debt Management Plan through them I'm at least paying more towards my debt and they will be cleared sooner than expected. This is a fantastic company willing to really help people in dire need, can't thank them enough as I'm sure it will be quite a tough job to do Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Fab from start to finish!

Fab from start to finish! Allowed me to get my debts under control without feeling like I was being judged for being in debt. The advisors I have spoken to have all been really helpful, and being able to make changes online quickly and easily is brilliant. I have recommended Step change to several people who have also signed up. After being in debt my entire adult life I now feel like my finances are finally under control ☺️ Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

They truest brought light at the end of the tunnel when I thought there was so way forward. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024
