Very grateful for StepChange!

5
I am genuinely amazed and very grateful, for the service and compassion of the StepChange people. The process ensured I felt in control and got to being debt free as soon as possible. The process was easy, I was able to track payments and debts, and make changes where needed with ease. Without StepChnage I don't think I would have been in the position to buy a house with my partner this year. Reviewed on: 27th May 2025

i was drowning in debt following a divorce.

i was drowning in debt following a divorce. I kept putting things off as i was embarrassed about the size of my combined debts and not wanting to address it myself, let alone a 'stranger'. i was also concerned that i would then be getting myself into more debt by acquiring 'fees'. shouldn't have worried, and how i wish i had done this far sooner. Yes, that first phone call is a bit awkward, but the staff are friendly, helpful and non judgemental. After years of debt, i will finally be free next October - and what a wonderful position that will be :-) Reviewed on: 27th May 2025

StepChnage quite literally changed everything for me.

5
StepChnage quite literally changed everything for me. I felt like I was never going to pay off my debt, I was paying so much interest so just couldn't ever see a way of making my debt any more manageable. StepChnage were completely non-judgemental and helped me communicate with my banks to explain my situation, I am now over half way though my debt re-payment plan and finally see a future where I will be debt free and get my life back.

Scary experience in general when you get in to severe debt difficulty so taking that first leap was tough. But stepchanges explanations and tools you can use made it a much more pleasant and reassuring experience. It’s allowed me to be more in control, and it’s literally changed my life and allowed me to get back in control again. Determined to see it through with the help from step change and I’d recommend anyone struggling to seriously consider Stepchange. Reviewed on: 27th May 2025
