Excellent

I have been with Step Change a few years now and they have helped me tremendously. I can't thank them enough. They took care of everything for me and are always approachable and understanding. There is no judgement and they have heard all before. I felt extremely comfortable discussing my money issues, debts etc with them and we found a solution which was acceptable to myself and my creditors. A HUGE weight off my mind and can see my balance reducing all the time. Reviewed on: 19th June 2023
