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

Free and Amazing Debt Support

I went to Stepchange when I couldn’t afford my loans, store cards, student loan, catalogue and other unsecured debts and from the minute I did they were amazing. I thought they would judge me but they didn’t. I collected all the letters from debt collection agencies and they went through everything and now I’m paying them an affordable amount each month and all the calls letters and default notices have stopped. Please just contact them I had nearly 30th in unsecured debts and there is nothing they can’t help with even ccj’s. It’s the best thing I ever did. Just call them nothing is too difficult for them to help you with Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Amazing Step Change

I was struggling, in debt and couldn’t see a way out of it. Step Change helped me in ways I can’t begin to explain. I’ve now fully repaid all of my debt, and my life has turned around. Without this I’d still be down the debt hole. Thank you. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024
