Review of the StepChange, Debt advice:

Retaking control

5
You've come to the end of your tether, swamped by red letters and final notices. So phone StepChange - one of the best half hours of your life. They sort out what you spend on what, what you owe, what you can afford to pay back after allowances are made for the amount you need to live on. Then they sort out the repayments (through them) and companies listen to them whereas they wouldn't listen to you, because they have standing. And the best bit (apart from the relief of finally doing something positive about things) is that they're a charity and won't charge you a penny. Reviewed on: 23rd April 2017

Overall, my experience with Step change has been very positive and I would have no hesitation in recommending the service to other persons who need assistance with debt management. Aside from being a free service, I value the flexibility provided by StepChange which has enabled me to cope with challenging circumstances on several occasions.
