Most understanding and non judgemental organisation you can find

At the times when we needed most, StepChange was there for us, not once but several times to understand and advice, not judge, give you a sense that you are not alone, although I haven’t met anyone or know anyone, it’s a very good feeling to know that you are speaking to someone who is empathetic and genuinely helpful not trying to take your money, I fact help you to deal with money difficulties. Cannot recommend anyone better. Reviewed on: 5th August 2021

I was in a terrible place at Christmas two years ago... moved house doing it up and spent far too much but mostly on credit cards! I was a fool but with Step Change and one phone call it has brought a light at the end of a long long tunnel! I am in a bunch better place with one payment a month I will be debt free in a little over two years!! I can now sleep at night. Thank you. Reviewed on: 5th August 2021

stepchange can talk to our creditors

Looking at our income and expenditure we can work out a sum of money we can afford to pay towards our creditors. Stepchange helps it get through and we owe less every month Reviewed on: 5th August 2021

Step Change literally changed my life

I was struggling every month and couldn’t make ends meet. I’m a single parent with 2 dependants and dreaded the post arriving every day. Step Change sorted everything for me and we’re so kind a helpful, never once making me feel like the failure I thought I was. I’m watching my debt reduce every month in a manageable and satisfying way! Reviewed on: 5th August 2021

Excellence; with care and understanding and debt service tailored for my needs

I had no direction/ solution to my increasing debt problem until got in touch with stepchange. The phone calls, online service and support provided is one of excellence. Now I am in control of my debt - Thanks step change. Reviewed on: 5th August 2021

Life changing

Prior to StepChange our life was a constant worry, then when bills weren’t getting paid and debt spiralling out of control we felt the only way was declaring bankruptcy and losing the house. Our financial advisor suggested SC. Since then we have our lives back, over half the debt has been repaid, all bills get paid on time, we can afford modest Holidays and most of all our family is happy. We are still some way off being totally sorted but we can definitely see light at the end of a very dark tunnel. I can’t thank SC enough for giving us our life’s back. Reviewed on: 5th August 2021
