Excellent from the very first step made me feel so at ease Reviewed on: 25th May 2025

Incredibly supportive and kind

Going through debt management was something I really didn’t want to do (who does?) but when it became clear something had to change two people recommended Stepchange - my brother in law who is a business accountant, and one of the lenders I had when I rang about a missed payment. I was so so nervous - and it didn’t help I was diagnosed with cancer at the same time - but I have two say that every single person I spoke to was SO kind and SO helpful. I was never met with judgement or rushed off the phone. It made such a massive difference to me. I was also offered personal support such as the Samaritans and was regularly checked in with to see if I was doing ok mentally. What can I say! Stepchange has taken so much stress and pressure from me at a time when I needed it the most. Reviewed on: 7th July 2023

So helpful and non judgemental

Asking for help is so hard to do, but once you take the first step, you will not regret it. They help you every step of the way and you can start to breathe a little easier, knowing someone is helping. Reviewed on: 7th July 2023
