Zero pressure zero judgment

This company is amazing, after the shame of racking up over 20k worth of debt we didn't know where to turn, but after contacting stepchange they contacted all our creditors and have been paying a mangable month payment for 6 years now, and even in the yearly review when I have worked out I can pay more they have always double checked to make sure I'm not short changing myself. Really can not thank them enough Reviewed on: 4th September 2021

Reliable

Quick and reliable company and the forms you fill out make it easy to get everything sorted fast Reviewed on: 4th September 2021

Staff Dependant

Like all organisations, Stepchange is only as good as its staff. In our experience, some annual reviews have been a pleasure with the staff member being sympathetic and helpful. On other occasions, the staff member has given the impression of being disinterested, one, to the point of being derisory that we were in a bad financial situation due to circumstances outside of our control. We understand that there are people who will deliberately get into a financial mess by refusing to pay their debts but that does not mean we should all be put into that category. Stepchange provides a vital service to those in financial difficulty and for that they have our vote, but, staff must be made aware that clients deserve a sympathetic ear unless they prove otherwise.
