Step Change couldn't have been more helpful or understanding of my predicament!

I got into trouble with bank overdrafts and overspending on store cards etc. A friend was kind enough to contact SC on my behalf to see what I needed to do. They have been so attentive to my situation and always efficiently at the other end of the phone. Thankfully I'm well on my way to being hopefully solvent. Many thanks SC, you save lives and people's self respect and dignity. So deserved to achieve this award. Many thanks. Reviewed on: 14th August 2022

Debt angels

5
I was so panicked about my credit card debts and spiralling interest. StepChange arranged a Debt Management Plan for me, so now my interest is frozen and I'm paying off as much as I can on a monthly basis. The relief is absolutely huge and it's so brilliant to be able to manage everything centrally with the clout of StepChange behind me instead of contacting individual companies myself. So grateful for their work! Reviewed on: 14th August 2022

Life changing

Life before StepChange was a nightmare. We feared the `phone ringing, the postman calling. We had run out of all options we had very little money after paying our debts. A `phone call to StepChange changed our lives. The first call we made to StepChange we were treat with nothing but helpfulness, NO condemnation for being in a financial mess. Just positive help from the very first call. THANK YOU. I cannot recommend StepChange enough. Reviewed on: 14th August 2022
