Review of the StepChange, Debt Management:

Extremely Helpful

The best service available when things go wrong Reviewed on: 17th June 2021

Poor advice

My husband found himself in difficulty following a gambling addiction that he had used a credit card for along with maxing out his overdraft. We went to StepChange for help, although their service was excellent I feel we were given wrong advice. We were advised to ignore any letters sent by creditors which resulted in a default on my husband's credit score for the sake of a small overdraft. Fast forward 3 years and all our debts were cleared and we were ready to look for a mortgage to find only 1 lender would consider us due to the default on my husband's credit score. It caused so much unnecessary stress and we are paying through our nose in interest now. Reviewed on: 22nd April 2025

StepChange have helped immensely with my debt.

StepChange have helped immensely with my debt. They have managed to get me into a manageable position with my finances within a short time by setting me up with a debt management plan. When I think back to how much stress and pressure I felt under before their help, I can't even begin to thank them enough for helping me get back on top of everything and get on with my life! Thank you so much StepChange! Reviewed on: 22nd September 2024

Dare to hope,!

I have been very ill with cancer. During my treatments I took my eye off the ball as the saying goes. Was too ill to deal with post and many many calls from people demanding money. I was becoming paranoid about the phone,the postman. Well debts don’t go away I didn’t know where or who to turn to, my life was such a mess, I was even contemplating ending it all. A friend came here and said why don’t we ring Stepchange the debt charity. I had nothing to lose but from that very first call, they made me feel like we can sort this out together and took me through every single step. Every person I spoke with was efficient,nothing was too much trouble, kind and compassionate. Made me feel like perhaps I could live a life. Am not the only person this happens to. Quite a bit of paperwork which I found daunting but even if I was stuck on silly questions I always got a real person to speak with. I can’t praise them high enough Reviewed on: 27th August 2024

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

Gave confidence and control back to me

Very helpful, very reassuring, brilliant cannot thank them enough. Have got me through the highs an low. It was very humiliating to get to this stage of my life to be blasted with debt problems. They have made me feel human and gain control over it all at last. Reviewed on: 18th August 2024
