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

They literally saved me from credit death. I tried many other companies but they were not transparent. All they were doing is to put my monthly payments higher even though I couldn't afford. Reviewed on: 8th July 2023

When you have got yourself to a point when you dont know where to turn. The banks just let you borrow and borrow. I see an advert for Stepchange and wonder if they can help. Can i stop worrying about not be able to pay my debt. I know i have spent it but wanting to pay it back. There was no way i could afford the payments so i would recommend getting in touch with them. I can breath now knowing im getting the help i needed. Reviewed on: 8th July 2023
