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

Stepchange have always been extremely helpful and understanding when it came to my debt, the levels of stress and anxiety I was under completely changed (for the good) once I got in touch with them. I would recommend anyone who’s having financial difficulties to get in touch. There’s always light at the end of the tunnel Reviewed on: 7th July 2023

Excellent service

I reached out to Step Change who showed compassion &patience whilst we went through my debt. They took l the stress out of trying to manage my own debtors. They worked out a plan and are so professional&helpful throughout. If I have to call them the service is excellent. What a relief having such a service in this present climate of financial challenge for many. The fact we are being served by automation throughout so many of our businesses is frustrating for many,it also is very time consuming. Step Change are delivering a person centred approach and then you have the responsibility to manage your plan online,but are welcomed if needing to call and work out any issues. We'll done Step Change,you make a difference big time!!! Reviewed on: 7th July 2023
