Review of the StepChange, Debt advice:

It was absolutely fantastic help from start to finish.

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

I was told about step change by a friend and when I contacted them I got very good advice and they are now helping me with a DMP to help me with dealing with my finances. Reviewed on: 13th July 2023

literally changed my life

I felt like I was literally drowning, money constantly on my mind and felt absolutely overwhelmed. went on to step change website entered all my information and within a couple of hours had a plan to pay back everything I owed within 5 years . I had the best nights sleep that night and it has been seemless since I can't praise them enough Reviewed on: 13th July 2023

The greatest debt charity ever!!

I have been struggling with my finances ever since I was in university and stupidly took out many payday loans that even now I’m struggling to pay back! Being a single mum, with a very small income, this charity is helping me on my way to becoming debt free which is a huge relief of my shoulders and allows me to focus and give my time to my family! Thank you StepChange! Reviewed on: 13th July 2023

Life savers!

I was in such a bad place financially, although myself and my husband both work, the change in the financial climate has caused us to struggle to make ends meet, we have 4 children to provide for and we were struggling to put food on the table let alone paying our debts. We could comfortably afford them before, then all of a sudden we couldn’t even afford to make our minimum payments. It was such a stressful time, neither of us were sleeping and it had an effect on our health, then I got in contact with StepChange. I was put at ease straight away. I was reassured that there was a way out of the debt and I honestly felt like I could breathe again. I have spoken with advisers who were wonderful, but I have also used the website which was so easy and straightforward. I would recommend StepChange to anyone who just needs to breathe again.

Literally saved my life

Although I was lucky enough to keep my job during covid, at the height of the pandemic it was too dangerous health wise for me to do my full duties which meant taking a cut in pay, my debts started to grow and Stepchange was there to deal with everything. Then after covid I had to take a cut in salary to keep my job. Stepchange literally saved my life. I don’t want to think about what could have happened to me if they hadn’t Reviewed on: 13th July 2023

Very professional team of human beings

Dealing with StepChange as my DMP agency has provided me with peace of mind as their processes are hassle free. Communication takes some time but solutions are always provided. Many thanks to all the team. If it wasn’t for StepChange, I would’ve left the country by now out of necessity. Reviewed on: 13th July 2023
