I was a nervous wreck with debts piling up after being made redundant. Stepchange was recommended by a family member and it was the best thing I ever did. They talked me through everything and set up a manageable payment scheme. Reviewed on: 19th May 2024

Stepchange saved my life

They helped me a lot to manage my debt, if they hadn't helped me, I was thinking of ending my life. Reviewed on: 7th July 2023

Patient

I have an array of disabilities, and have needed lots of help. Everyone I have spoken to have been extremely patient, calm and lovely with me. They offered extra help as needed, and were always concerned with my safety. Because of my illnesses it took me almost a year to solidify my paperwork,(all down to me), they kept my account open and prompted me often to keep going. Finally its done, and I highly recommend anyone going through debt problems to ring step change and you won't be sorry. Reviewed on: 7th July 2023

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.

Superb service and peace of mind.

Stepchange were so friendly and non judgmental that it was easy to be completely honest about the financial struggle I was experiencing. They suggested a plan that best suited me and all the worry and stress seemed to melt away. 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
