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

My debts had got out of hand

My debts had got out of hand and each month I didn’t know how I would pay everyone. I wish I’d contacted StepChange sooner - they helped me structure affordable payments to my creditors. They are so helpful when you get in touch with them and they never make you feel bad. An effortless way to manage payments. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024
