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

Saved my home

5
I unexpectedly became ill and I had to reduce my work hours. I could have lost my home if it weren't for Step Change (and to be fair, the understanding of Marks and Spencer Money). I live alone and I was terrified about my future. Step Change genuinely saved me. I can't thank them enough. Reviewed on: 13th July 2023

Speaking to stepchange literally changed my life. They offered me reassurance, were non judgemental and so helpful. Reviewed on: 13th July 2023

Financial crisis

5
I left the Royal Marines in 2019 and found myself in a financial black hole. Not knowing what to do in terms of employment and having two young children to provide for as a single father. I found myself resorting to credit cards. Within 3 years I was £12000 in debt with no way out. Step Change helped me to assess my financial situation and provide immediate support by creating a payment plan whereby I could pay little and often allowing enough money to provide for my family. Without Step Change, I don’t know where I would be today. Thank you Reviewed on: 13th July 2023
