make that call to help yourself change your debt

i was desperate to solve my debt. i researched various charities and websites offering help but Step change seemed to tick all the boxes. i gave them all the info they needed and they came back with a plan. i am into my second year and paying 100 pounds more a month off my debt than i was last year and my creditors seem happy with the repayment plan. i don't worry so much anymore. i still have a debt but it is being repayed across all of my creditors by Step change.

I have always received an excellent support from Stepchange. The people I have spoken to have been very helpful, informative and supportive. Reviewed on: 26th May 2025

Respectful customer service and excellent support

5
From respectful customer service, to excellent support throughout, I wish I had come across StepChange sooner. By paying a previous provider for over seven years, I would have been debt-free much sooner had I gone with StepChange in the first instance. Reviewed on: 26th May 2025

Stepchange helped immensely when I was overwhelmed with debt worries. Their help with dealing with creditors allowed me to get a good nights sleep instead of worrying all night about how to handle my debts. In the many years of having a Debt management plan with them, only once has an advisor given me any incorrect advise which was then quickly rectified by a supervisor. They are none judgemental and are genuine in their desire to help people. I would highly recommend anyone with debt problems to contact them. Reviewed on: 26th May 2025

Going down the right path.

A financial nightmare many years ago resulted in us calling Step Change. From the beginning they put our minds at rest that they could help us. A long journey began to clear our debts but throughout the many years they provided excellent service. Reviewed on: 26th May 2025
