Review of the StepChange, Debt advice:

Excellent service all round

Cannot praise enough everyone I have dealt with has been most helpful in some cases over and beyond what I would have expected they have certainly got us back on the road to recovery with a sensible affordable plan Reviewed on: 8th July 2020

StepChange have taken the stress away

StepChange have taken over dealing with and paying back my creditor's. I am so happy with the way they treat their customers. They are professional and deal with queries promptly. I am very happy with the high standard of care I have received from any of the staff I have dealt with. Reviewed on: 7th July 2023

It is first time when I have to use DMP , I have to say that Step Change is the best company to which one you can decide to go in that situation, always happy to help you , support you really. For them you are a person which they want to help , not a number on screen , help is set up for you individually. THEY ARE THE BEST !!!!!!!!! Reviewed on: 7th July 2023

A Weight Off my Mind

In all honesty I wish I'd contacted Step Change sooner than I did. Process was so simple and it's a huge weight off my mind now that I no longer have to deal with credit companies harassing me to up my minimum monthly payments Reviewed on: 7th July 2023

Very helpful company

Very easy to deal with and very helpful Reviewed on: 7th July 2023

First class help

I couldn’t be more grateful for StepChange’s help in a very complex debt situation- they listened, understood and helped put a debt management plan in place with my mum’s bank. Really first rate service and a continuity while sorting it all out. Reviewed on: 7th July 2023

Really helpful team

Helped me to feel a lot more secure in my payments to creditors. Always quick to answer their phones and really friendly when you speak to them Reviewed on: 7th July 2023

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

Outstanding service

They’re no fuss easy to understand help and advice made tackling my debt solution far less stressful and manageable going forward. They took care of everything Reviewed on: 7th July 2023

Debt

Excellent service. All agents polite and courteous. 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
