Life-Savers

I had lost all hope of ever being debt free when Step Change were recommended to me. They have been amazing. I was able to set it all up online which helped with my anxiety and I'll be free of debt in a months time. I can't thank them or recommend them enough x Reviewed on: 12th August 2022

Financial Efficiency

I have had to use Step Change Financial Advisors twice now. Both times I have found them to be friendly, caring, very helpful and efficient in every aspect of the service I needed. They really made me feel so at ease, so it was so easy to talk to them. I would recommend them to anyone. Reviewed on: 12th August 2022

Brilliant, friendly and helpful. Life changing

Absolutely fantastic. I have mental health issues and cant communicate well on the phone regularly, but stepchange advisors were happy to help me via email. When I was able to talk to the advisor in the phone, they were friendly, non-judgemental and very helpful. My dmp was set up quickly and easily and i can now manage my debts with affordable payments. Absolutely wonderful charity Reviewed on: 12th August 2022

Pragmatic and compassionate

Any time I need help and need to get advice Step Change are happy to help me - unsure where I would be without this FREE advice Reviewed on: 12th August 2022

Saved our lives

We didn’t know what to do, our debts were running away from us! when my husbands health meant, he had to retire early, and due to me working full time we were not eligible for any benefits. That meant we struggled! If it wasn’t for the kindness and respect I was shown when I phoned them… well I really do not know if we would still be here. Because of them we do not have ‘threatening’ letters and we are managing just. However when things change for us again they are there with respect and kindness. Reviewed on: 12th August 2022

Saved my marriage

Our arguments about money were bad we were in over over heads. Step Change we’re helpful,, sympathetic, kind and professional. We both felt a weight had been lifted off our shoulders. Reviewed on: 12th August 2022

Helpful without feeling judged

It was very hard for me to accept I had a gambling problem and managed to get myself in excess of £40k debt - Step change helped me to sort my debts out without being judgemental & I’m now over half way through paying my debts off. I don’t have to deal with different companies - I pay one lump sum to Step Change & they deal with everything else. Stress free & I can see light at the end of the tunnel now - thanks to them. If they weren’t there I think I would be in a very dark place with only one option left. Reviewed on: 12th August 2022
