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 experience with StepChange, Debt Management is excellent because I was in a life of worries about managing my debt and I was not working to service my debt because of sickness. I did not know what to do and what would happen to me. Then I lacked to be introduced to StepChange by the Citizen advice bureau. Since knowing them, I feel relaxed, happy, no worries any more because through their help I have been able to pay my debt according to what I can afford and my debts are coming down and down. They have helped me to discipline my money, I can budget and spend wisely. They have a good team of staff who are always there to provide support and advice when I am preparing my statement. I feel comfortable ringing them and asking them anything I didn't know. Every month, they send me information when the next debit is taken from my account. If someone knocked on my door I would be free to open it than before, when I was scared with the bailiff. Thank you so much StepChange. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024
