I get this place tries to help people but in my case they made my life and credit history worst off in the long run when I first contacted them 4 years ago they put me on a DMP but my debts were so high I would of been on that plan for 13 years then I had another incident in life which ended my DMP with them they then advised to put me on another DMP and again it failed I then reached out to the National debt line who were amazing who put me in touch with the CAB who set up a debt relief order and it all was sorted in a month now I’m just waiting for it to be accepted and rebuild my life I get I’m the one who ended up in debt but the advice and solution I was given from step change would have kept me in debt until I died

Hi Imran,

Firstly, we are really happy you have found a way of dealing with your debts. That's great and we hope you are doing better now.

As an FCA-regulated charity, we can only offer debt solutions that we believe is right for your situation. So when we looked at your case, we will not have believed a DRO was right. If we did, we would have recommended you speak to an organisation that provides them.

Best wishes,
Michael from StepChange

The IVA was so easy to set up and once the process and budget was explained to me I knew that I could relax at last.
Although at times it has been a bit of a struggle I have always had in the back of my mind that
your help was only a phone call
away. The support I received when I had questions was excellent. My extreme thanks go to the 2 people who dealt with my case.

An upsetting experience

I really upsetting experience from the moment I contact step change. I have never experienced such a poor service. It's had a negative impact on my mental health. I really worry about the impact on the most vulnerable, if my experience is common.

I've now been sent a WhatsApp message (from step change)asking for bank details- should someone respond to this review and recommend I get in touch with a company to stop this happen- please don't. I have really had enough of your service passing the buck and putting everything back onto the client.

Also, when I look at the poor reviews, on multiple occasions step change respond with 'We’re concerned that you may be dealing with a company posing as us'. I find this really odd, and something I haven't heard of from any other charity- I mean, when have you heard of a food bank, or another regulated charity designed to help those in need, use this as a common response? There's something that makes me very uncomfortable about this charity- I don't think it will be long until a regulator uncovers unacceptable working practices here.

Resposta da StepChange Debt Charity

Hi there,

Thanks for leaving a review. There's a lot to unpack, and I'll do my best to help with everything.

I understand you feel like you've had a poor experience with us. But it's difficult to look at what's happened or understand properly without a bit more info. I appreciate a public forum like this might not be the best place for you to share that, so please get in touch with customerrelations@stepchange.org and tell us what's happened.

Our team will then look into your situation and do their best to help. Screenshots of the messages would be very helpful too.

Secondly, some of our teams have started using WhatsApp recently, so I won't mention anything about imposters just yet - I can see that's sparked some questions for you already.

Just to help you understand more, we constantly have to keep an eye out for imposter firms and report them. The reasons we might experience this issue more than other charities are: our size (we are well-known and trusted), our clients' situation (financially vulnerable), the information clients will share with us so we can help (bank details, for example).

So, when we mention them, it is so we can ask for more info and report them. This means we can try to stop them contacting other people. It's awful but there are a lot of opportunists out there who try to take advantage.

As I mentioned, because we don't know much about what's happened here, this isn't something I'd suggest at this point. Please get in touch so we can try to resolve what's happened and help you however we can.

Best wishes,
Michael from StepChange

Step change was so easy to set up

Step change was so easy to set up, they take care of your lenders for you so you don’t have to pay the interest anymore, it’s totally stress free! They help you make a manageable plan depending on your income and make sure you won’t be spending more than you can afford. Checking your progress was easy on their web site and doing a new budget was great as you could change your payment to step change if your finances changed. It has been such a relief and I wish id of done it sooner. Oh and yes it does effect your credit score which is what put me off at first but my credit score was bad anyway so thought just do it, and now my credit score is better than when I started!

Untrustworthy. Unhelpful. Dangerous

Step change are cancelling breathing space without consulting me. They claim I have already been on it but haven’t and they have not given any proof. I will now lose everything including my job. I have a mental health condition and step change know this but they seem to not care about it and have pushed me to the edge. They never reply to emails or calls. No one in the phone knows what they are doing and they kept looking stuff up on the internet when I was talking to them on the phone. They have no clue what is what. They just repeat themselves and get you to repeat every too. It is hell dealing with them. Please do not trust them, it will cost you dearly and more than you know and they will not care one bit. They will just move on to ruin the life of someone else.

Hi there,

I am sorry to hear about your struggles at the moment. Breathing Space only lasts for a certain amount of time, and is there to give you some respite from your debts while you set up a solution.

There are situations where it might be cancelled early, but this is rare and I'd need to know more about your situation to explain why.

We have spent more than 30 years trying to help people in debt, and we absolutely want to help you find a way forward. Get in touch with us at customerrelations@stepchange.org to help us understand your case and what's happened here.

Best wishes,
Michael from StepChange
