Review of the StepChange, Debt advice:

Steps to mindful financial management

4
Step Change provided informative and easily accessible financial management support, at a time when I felt overwhelmed by debt and without any other alternative repayment options. Reviewed on: 9th June 2025

Heavy weight lifted off shoulders

5
I was really nervous at first when contacting Step Change as I thought I would be judged but I wasn't and I would highly recommend Step Change. I went through all my debt and what money goes on and goes out and we came up with a debt plan. Been debt free since March and it's the best feeling ever. Don't be afraid to contact them as it's the best thing I done. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Amazing Organisation

5
My husband & I found ourselves in a lot of trouble/debt when my husband too k early retirement & I struggled to hold down a job due to disabilities. Initially we still lived as though we were both high earners but came crashing down a couple of years later. Stepchange we amazing & so helpful. We currently have a DM plan in place & are managing ok. The stress levels are so much lower now, we are actually able to smile & even laugh. We appreciate this free organisation so much, the help has been fantastic & the pressure of not having to deal directly with our creditors but Stepchange to do it in our behalf is so brilliant, the thought of that terrified me. I can’t thank Stepchange enough. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Very sympathetic and understanding customer service, they couldn’t have made things easier or been more helpful Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Stability and Reliability

5
As a result of knowing exactly how much I need to pay out and when, I have a lot more stability in my life in general. I have started to look for savings in my various outgoings but at the same time realise that there are some things that I can't change, for example in relation to keeping a pet. I can cut back on what I eat and do, pets can't and they are what keep me going as without my dogs I would be unable to survive. Life would be nothing without them. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024
