They were there for me when I was at my lowest. Everytime you phone them they treat you with kindness and want to help. I’m nearly debt free and it’s thanks to them. Reviewed on: 23rd July 2021

Took the Fear Away...

Yes that's what Stepchange did for me! I had incurred credit card debt, yes, like a lot of people, but when my DLA was changed to PIP and I lost the whole lot I could not pay my minimum amounts due each month. I remain disabled enough to have a Blue Badge by the way but the government disagrees! Anyway after asking my High Street Bank for a debt consolidation loan (and being refused that also...) I tried Stepchange in desperation. I could see no way out until Stepchange arranged a schedule of repayments for my creditors which I could afford. It has been running for 2 and 1/2 years now and I can manage to increase the payments each review (12 monthly) which reduces the time I will be in debt. I am aware that my credit is shot for 6 years, but honestly do I want any more credit? NO! Thank you Stepchange for allowing me to sleep at night, unlike the High Street Bank who were no help to me whatsoever..... Reviewed on: 23rd July 2021

And it was staff are always helpful and sort everything out. It was like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders,everything was sorted. Many thanks to the kind, helpful, and knowledgeable staff.

Life-saver!

I dread to think what my circumstances would be like without StepChange. During the pandemic I experienced a significant loss of income which impacted on my credit responsibilities. The support and advocacy I received from StepChange meant that I was able to manage this and find a solution that worked for everyone. As a result my mental health didn't suffer anywhere near as it would have without them. Reviewed on: 23rd July 2021
