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

Saved me

I was literally in a very bad way, emotionally and financially, my mental health was the worst it could be and my debts were out of control. I finally had to face into my problem and call Stepchange. I was embarrassed at how I had let my life and finances get out of control. The call was easy, no judging. It takes a bit of time to get it all sorted, lots of letters but after a couple of weeks I felt in control for the first time in two years. It’s going to take me very long time to clear my debt but at least I have an affordable plan. Everyone I have dealt with has been understanding. It’s a really horrible feeling but Stepchange have pretty much saved my life. Reviewed on: 7th July 2023

Fantastic charity

I contacted step change because I was struggling financially, they were extremely helpful and made me feel at ease. They helped me to set up a plan to repay my debts. I don't think I could of done this without the help from the staff at step change. Reviewed on: 7th July 2023

Peace of mind

I was very sceptical about using a debt management company but I was in such a bad way financially that I needed to take action. Stepchange was recommended to me through one of the companies to whom I owed a debt. They offered different solutions for my circumstances and provided me with the tools to help me through and now I am in a plan that is helping me sort my debts and hopefully one day I'll be debt free. Applying through Stepchange was easy and straight forward and gave me such peace of mind, which I hadn't had in a long time. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them to anyone.
