Review of the StepChange, Debt Management:

£1,000 p/m to £60 thanks to Stepchange

I approached step change after I became overwhelmed with debt repayments and got caught up in the horrific cycle of debt. I had a consultation that was blame-free (stepchange don't care why you've found yourself in debt, they care about how they can help you out of it) and were very helpful. I work in Finance and they were careful to advise if I had an obligation to tell my employer. In many cases, this isn't necessary. Stepchange facilitated the move from me paying the banks £1,000 a month to me now paying £60. It's manageable and I can live my life feeling a sense of dignity again. Reviewed on: 27th May 2025

Six Star Rating, in my opinion!!

I'm reviewing on behalf of my 89 year old father who got into financial difficulties a few years ago, at which time, Step Change were recommended to us. From the very first phone call it immediately felt that they were working for us and had our interests at the forefront, rather than a giant corporate bank. They took us through the process and together we built my fathers plan based on incomings/outgoings. Using their experience they raised questions regarding dads expediture for items not shown on bank statements or infrequent purchases. The outcome was a proposed plan to reduce his debt over time but wasn't going to leave him in difficulties that may lead to further debt, Once we finalised that, Step Change took over and negotiated directly with those organisations who he was indebted to. We were notified that the plan had been agreed and then we simply created a Direct Debit to Step Change for the agreed monthly payment. Beyond that all we have done is annually review the plan to update incomings/outgoings to and refine payments as required. Step Change have been an unbelievable help to my father and I, especially as I manage his finances but live quite some distance away, Thank you Step Change Reviewed on: 10th June 2025

Great support

It took us 4 years to clear our debt but with the support of Step Change and their staff it all went very smoothly and it took the anxiety and stress out of the process. It was difficult at times and when we had a blip the staff at Step Change guided us through it. It was such a great feeling to see our debt clear. We now have the confidence to go forward. We thank them for all their help and would highly recommend using their services. Reviewed on: 10th June 2025

Wouldn't know where we'd be without Stepchange.

Wouldn't know where we'd be without Stepchange. We're so grateful they do all that they do and gave us some light in what was a very dark time. Struggling with debt, not knowing what to do they have given us a plan of action, been very reassuring and have finally given us some peace of mind and excitement for the future. They are always very helpful, patient and understanding. Reviewed on: 10th June 2025
