Simply awesome

It is an awful feeling when you are in debt and you don't know what to do. You feel you should know better as an adult but circumstances just collided. Step Change were non judgemental. They just wanted to help. All they all for is honesty. They were so helpful and supportive. They helped me to sleep at night again and stop the panic attacks. Incredible company and service.

I can sleep again !

When i contacted StepChange I was worried about my debts. I couldn't sleep or function properly and worried constantly about the post arriving or a knock at the door. Thanks to StepChange, I can sleep at night again they pretty much sorted everything out for me and arranged an affordable payment plan with each of the companies I owed money to. I really can't believe how much help they gave me. I can't recommend them enough. Reviewed on: 29th July 2022

Life Saver

After being scammed out of my life savings and tricked into taking out further loans to finance the purchase of BitCoin, when I tried to cash in the BitCoin,it was not available. I now had no money and £52000 worth of debt. I contacted StepChange who brokered an affordable repayment plan with all my creditors .They have literally been lifesavers as I was in a VERY bad place at the time. THANK YOU StepChange!!!

Since joining Stepchange and getting a DMP it has been so easy and stress free. Able to update my budget annually or when something big happens, it was the best decision I ever made. I've been a client for four years and will be clear within 5 more....I cannot thank them enough for their help and always friendly, and extremely knowledgeable staff :) Reviewed on: 29th July 2022
