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

A Change for the better

5
I was unsure about debt management and was more than a little embarrassed to be in a position where I needed help (I am 70). Step Change were easy to contact and it was straightforward to provide the information that was required. The people I spoke to were extremely helpful and not judgemental in the slightest which was a huge relief! Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Felt embarrassed about speaking to a person about my debt but I decided to look up stepchange online and complete the full application in online. They were brilliant from the start. I told them the debt I had. They gave me some breathing space so my creditors could give me time to sort out the finances and have managed the whole thing for me. Contacting my creditors and telling them what I can afford and any questions I managed to fjnd the answer on their website but if I needed to call , the one time I did need to to explain a bit of detail they were super. Literally saved my life Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Exceptional StepChange team

The StepChange team are extremely knowledgeable and supportive to those who are following a debt management programme. I could not rate them high enough. The team do not judge you but instead work with you to form a budget to work to that helps you pay off your debt. StepChange give you budgetary advice that helps you stay out if debt. All the customer service advisers I have dealt with over 4 years have all been exceptional. If you are struggling with debts then you need to use this company. Best in class. The feeling of being debt free feels amazing. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024
