excellent organisation

in just over a years time I will have cleared all my debts thanks to STEPCHANGE Reviewed on: 31st July 2022

Invaluable Service

When I thought that things were hopeless with my finances Stepchange got everything into perspective. The feeling of relief was tremendous. Reviewed on: 31st July 2022

A friendly, empathetic service

I came to StepChange at a very low point. I was ashamed of the debt I had built up and ashamed that I was failing to manage it on my own. However, StepChange were very compassionate and understanding, and they helped me to get a plan in place to start paying my debts off with monthly payments through a Debt Management Plan. I really appreciated the advisor's attitude, candour and friendly helpful service. I really can't thank StepChange enough and I would encourage anyone struggling with debts to speak to them.

Step Change are a life saver

At a time when we were deeply in debt, my husband was in hospital, the creditors were sending letters Step Change gave the assurance they were there to assist. That took a weight off our shoulders knowing we didn't have to deal directly with our creditors. Reviewed on: 30th July 2022

Ability to live again without the constant worries

I unfortunately run up over £25,000 in debt and was at a point that whatever I did I still couldn’t meet the payments. Having nearly lost all hope and was suffering from stress and sleepless nights I finally contacted StepChange who has not only supported me in setting up a debt management plan with my creditors, it provides me with really helpful tips on how to save money but also provide non judgmental advice. This gave me the hope and skills to take ownership of my budget and have set goals each month. I can update my plan at anytime so if circumstances change I don’t have to worry about it. To me StepChange equates to positive health and well-being. Reviewed on: 30th July 2022

Fantastic and so helpful- I cannot recommend enough!

From my first call many years ago to the pending close of my plan later this year, Step Change have always been there. They handle all of the creditors and payments and all you need to do is keep them informed, make a monthly payment and review once a year. I will never forget the relief after contacting them and it has been a journey however they have really helped me clear everything and come out the other side. Reviewed on: 30th July 2022

Excellent non-judgemental support

Everyone I have spoken to is supportive, professional and understanding. Talking about debt is hard and embarrassing the stigma is painful. At Stepchange no one judges you they help you. Reviewed on: 30th July 2022
