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

Feel in despair

My husband and I felt swamped in debt. We couldn't manage from month to month. Going through covid and then the coat of living crisis, we felt lost. Step change helped manage our finances and stopped the companies we owed, putting interest on, so we could pay off what we owed. We are now debt free. Thank you x Reviewed on: 1st May 2024
