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

Sensible, workable debt management.

I was facing what felt like a mountain of debt. Stepchange talked me through what I had, showed me how to create a workable, sensible budget and spoke to the companies I owed to create a debt management plan that I could stick to and clear my debt. They have allowed me to breath easier again. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Overwhelmed by debt? Make a change. With StepChange.

When I was at my lowest ebb, and struggling to cope after divorce, I honestly did not know where to turn. I was recommended to StepChange. They gave me advice, and help, but the fact that they did this with unlimited patience, understanding, and support. They also gave me the most precious thing of all. Hope. I have been using their services for a few years now, and am almost totally clear of debts. Absolutely amazing organisation, with the most amazing people! I've recommended them various times, and highly recommend them. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024
