Users frequently describe receiving aggressive and relentless calls or voicemails aiming to extract personal and banking details under false pretences. The organisation behind this number, often identified as Clear Start Accountants or under various other names, pressures individuals into costly payment plans, claiming to negotiate debt on their behalf, but providing little to no actual assistance.

Visitors are strongly advised to verify the legitimacy of any debt relief service independently and to report suspicious activity to Action Fraud promptly. Avoid engagement and never share sensitive information without due diligence.

SCAMMERS - STAY AWAY! I put my info into what I believed was the StepChange website and then got a call that seemed to be from them. They ended up passing me on to someone claiming to be from Clearstep Accountancy to arrange a payment plan. I gave out my bank info, but something felt off since they were pretty pushy. Luckily, I cancelled my card just in time when they attempted to withdraw £350. Now I'm getting nonstop calls. I’ve reported everything to Action Fraud.

I think Start Budget Agency is legit. They offer support for folks who are struggling with money, helping sort out budgets. Just a heads up, they do ask for a fee for their services though.

I got a call from Clear Start Accountants, but it was weird. They said they were a debt charity, which I later found out wasn’t true. Seems like they get info from call centres in India when people look up debt charities and then pretend to be one to trick them. Proper dodgy if you ask me.

Beware of Clear Start Accountants or whatever name they've switched to now - they keep changing it whenever someone notices them. They act like they're a proper debt charity like Citizens Advice or StepChange or MAS, but trust me, they’re only after vulnerable folks in debt. What they’re really doing is generating leads by pretending to be one of those trusted groups, just to push people into an IVA. This is straight up FRAUD. Make sure you dig deeper about who’s actually behind the company and who’s arranging these IVAs, then report everything to Action Fraud.

This number keeps leaving annoying voicemails, masquerading as if they’re from some official accounts, but it’s quite obvious they’re just fishing for my personal information. What a bunch of chancers!

Watch out for Clear Start Accountants, Debt Compare, or AFA Insolvency - they use different names but they’re just scammers pushing IVAs on you! They pretend to be from well-known debt charities like Stepchange, MAS, or Citizens Advice to sound trustworthy. Honestly, it's disgusting how they try to trick people like that.

My mum, who’s disabled, got a phone call claiming she owed money. They moved her onto another team and said they’d sort all her debts into one place, but she actually doesn’t owe anything. She started getting really worried and asked to speak to my grandad before agreeing to anything. After that, the caller got really rude and said they’d ring back. When my grandad called her, she was practically in tears, completely stressed out. These people are awful and should be shut down.

I received a call from an organisation claiming to be a charitable entity for debt assistance, which, to my dismay, turns out to be a ruse. They seem to be exploiting individuals who are already struggling financially. It's quite misleading considering that when seeking help online for debt advice, their ads pop up, leading one to believe they're reaching out to a reputable charity, but alas, that's not the case. Beware of Clear Start Accountants; they're not what they seem.

I received a call from someone claiming to represent a debt relief agency, insisting that I settle my outstanding debts. They even went so far as to say they could assist me in clearing them. The caller mentioned a government programme that could supposedly help lessen what I owe. I would strongly advise blocking this shady crook immediately!

absolute scammers! they claim to be a debt relief company, but all the cash you send ends up in their own pockets with barely any actually going to pay off your debt. once they're taking your money, good luck trying to reach them to cancel anything. they’re really pushy too, pressuring you to sign up right there on the call with no chance to pause and consider. would seriously steer clear of these lot if i were you.

I searched for StepChange and called the number provided, only to encounter a similar experience. I connected with someone who mentioned that ClearStart was ready to assist. After I explained my situation, they offered to negotiate with creditors but then dropped a bombshell about a fee - £96 for the first three months, followed by £40 monthly. It struck me as rather dodgy. I told them I’d think about it and call back the next day, but I decided to do a bit of digging and found out their number had raised some red flags. So, I sent them an email and cancelled my involvement the very next day.

Beware of Clear Start Accountants masquerading as StepChange debt charity. They're advertising on Google, giving the impression that they're affiliated with the charity, but they are not! Take heed and remain vigilant. This is a case of fraud!
