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

Excellent support during difficult times

5
StepChange helped me when I felt overwhelmed with debt and stress. They explained everything clearly, helped me create a realistic payment plan, and contacted my creditors for me. Since starting my DMP, several companies have frozen interest and stopped charges, which gave me breathing space and peace of mind. The whole process was much easier than I expected, and I finally feel back in control of my finances. Thank you for the support and professionalism. Reviewed on: 27th May 2026

StepChange has literally changed my life.

StepChange has literally changed my life. I have gone from being an emotional mess, stressed out to someone who can now pay of my debts in a manageable amount each month without fear. The only thing I think they can improve is by having a clearer portal that tells you if your debts have accepted your DMP as I still get the occasional letter that panics me but I feel more able to deal with it now Reviewed on: 27th May 2026

Listened without judgement.

5
Listened without judgement. Offered an affordable plan, quickly and efficiently. No question sounded too silly for them and answered them all and explained things in full detail. I had to call a few times after plan was set up and didn’t have to hold on too long for call to be answered. The website has lots of information and is easy to use. Reviewed on: 27th May 2026

Step change has been amazing with me setting up a DM due to coming out of work through illness and disability issues. They really understood my anxiety with all this as I just cannot do things for myself anymore. All I did was to upload all documentation and everything was negotiated for me and a start up date Reviewed on: 27th May 2026
