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

A positive future awaits thanks to StepChange

5
StepChange have really helped us to manage and get a hold of our debt. We are half way through our DMP, and are so thankful for the help. I don’t think we could have achieved this progress on our own. We can now see a future where we will be debt free and in a better position to manage our finances going forward so that we don’t find ourselves in a similar position again. We can really see a bright future ahead and the opportunities we will have as a family without the burden of debt. I can’t thank StepChange enough for all their help. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

There is light at the end of the tunnel.

I was in 20k plus debt, borrowing off Peter to pay Paul, credit cards spiralling out of control and just in a really bad place, my credit cards just kept increasing my limit, so it was my fault as I kept thinking I'd get on top of it, just never happened. I found StepChange and they sorted it all out, gave me the help I needed in a few simple steps, now I'm paying an affordable repayment plan, all my creditors are being paid on time every month, and I feel a lot better, not stressed or worried about how to make ends meet. I know it will take time but it will be worth every minute, don't sit in silence in that big black hole, reach out and get the help from StepChange it will change your life and you will start to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks StepChange for all your help. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

When I was in a lot of financial difficulty and was scared about my next steps, I contacted stepchange who spoke with me indepth about how they could help, and arranged a repayment plan for me, all free of charge. Without them I would probably have had to go bankrupt. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Step Change have been very helpful.

Step Change have been very helpful in sorting out my debts. They talk you through what monies you have coming in and go through what your outgoings are according to a fixed system. After all this procedure the will let you know what is the best way to deal with your outstanding debts. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Anxiety Relieved

They have taken away a lot of worry from us with their solution to our indebtedness with all our debtors agreeing to their programme for the monthly repayments. So they have taken a great weight off allowing us to get on with our lives without dreading the almost daily pressure of bills or unwanted phone calls from the numerous organisations we owe money to.
