Review of the StepChange, Debt advice:

Steps to mindful financial management

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

Step Change saved my life.

Step Change saved my life. I couldn't see a way forward in coping with my debt. Then I rang Step Change and they took away the stress that was making me mentally ill. They organised my finances, got in touch with who I owed money to and arranged a manageable repayment plan. They never made me feel bad about being in a financial mess. They were kind, considerate and professional. I was suicidal with the stress, and they literally saved my life. Fantastic service. Would recommend whole heartedly. Reviewed on: 2nd May 2024

I honestly couldn’t be more thankful for how much StepChange has changed my life. The DMP has meant I am now 100% debt free and has helped me regain my life back - literally. I had few options for support available to me due to earning a reasonable salary even though my monthly debt repayments meant I was left with too little, but with the support they gave me it meant I was able to make one payment each month based on my budget, also taking into account health issues. Stepchange enabled me to build a healthy spending routine within my means and I am now more than confident that I will never fall into debt through my own choices again. Whenever I had questions or concerns the customer service was fantastic, staff are understanding and informative. If anybody is considering this - Do it! Call them and talk to them and have faith that things can get better and that there is help even when you don’t think you may qualify for it. Best decision I ever made. Thank you StepChange for the amazing work you do and the difference you make - when I say I wouldn’t be where I am today that’s down to you guys. Reviewed on: 2nd May 2024

I was very worried about my finances until I found StepChange. They have helped me face the total of all my debts and then to help negotiate an agreed way forward between all those I owed money at a monthly rate they would accept and I could afford. It does involve a considerable part of my income being paid towards my debts. It has also meant me having to considerably reduce my outgoings and to go out far less. It is also going to take several years of these restrictions while the debt is paid. StepChange are realistic and allow for some items like cars and microwaves etc to wear out over the period and to need repairing. You also have to take part in yearly reviews to check your current financial situation and see if it needs amending. Reviewed on: 2nd May 2024
