Review of the StepChange, Debt Management:

Helped me out of a black hole.

Helped me out when I was struggling to cope with my debts. I can now sleep at night and feel like I am in control and able to breathe. They made me see that there is hope and I can deal with my debt in an affordable way. Reviewed on: 7th June 2025

Six Star Rating, in my opinion!!

I'm reviewing on behalf of my 89 year old father who got into financial difficulties a few years ago, at which time, Step Change were recommended to us. From the very first phone call it immediately felt that they were working for us and had our interests at the forefront, rather than a giant corporate bank. They took us through the process and together we built my fathers plan based on incomings/outgoings. Using their experience they raised questions regarding dads expediture for items not shown on bank statements or infrequent purchases. The outcome was a proposed plan to reduce his debt over time but wasn't going to leave him in difficulties that may lead to further debt, Once we finalised that, Step Change took over and negotiated directly with those organisations who he was indebted to. We were notified that the plan had been agreed and then we simply created a Direct Debit to Step Change for the agreed monthly payment. Beyond that all we have done is annually review the plan to update incomings/outgoings to and refine payments as required. Step Change have been an unbelievable help to my father and I, especially as I manage his finances but live quite some distance away, Thank you Step Change Reviewed on: 10th June 2025

StepChange Can Change Your Life

If you are stressed about carrying too much debt, Step Change will walk you through the different options open to you. They also act as a go between with the companies you are in debt to. StepChange have been a great support to me with really helpful and caring staff. Reviewed on: 10th June 2025

Great support

It took us 4 years to clear our debt but with the support of Step Change and their staff it all went very smoothly and it took the anxiety and stress out of the process. It was difficult at times and when we had a blip the staff at Step Change guided us through it. It was such a great feeling to see our debt clear. We now have the confidence to go forward. We thank them for all their help and would highly recommend using their services. Reviewed on: 10th June 2025

Wouldn't know where we'd be without Stepchange.

Wouldn't know where we'd be without Stepchange. We're so grateful they do all that they do and gave us some light in what was a very dark time. Struggling with debt, not knowing what to do they have given us a plan of action, been very reassuring and have finally given us some peace of mind and excitement for the future. They are always very helpful, patient and understanding. Reviewed on: 10th June 2025

I can sleep easier now.

I was with another debt manager agency before StepChange, they made me feel stupid and I felt bullied into paying £40 a month for their help. StepChange are supportive, kind and really do help you manage your debts. They deal with your creditors, which takes a huge amount of stress away. They help you work out what you can afford to pay and still keep your creditors happy. You have an online account so you can easily track what is going on and report changes in your circumstances. And this is all free, i can now see some light at the end of the tunnel and I'm able to sleep easier. Reviewed on: 10th June 2025
