These people are fabulous

Every person that I have spoken to at StepChange has been amazing in supporting and helping me see the light at the end of the tunnel. Practical advice is great but more than that, they have made me feel that I am a worthwhile person even though I have worries galore regarding money. I said to the lady I spoke to for some time this week, who was going through my budget, 'You have made me feel like crying, but in a good way!' I can't say more than that - she made me feel great.

Great friendly but professional help

I've been using stepchange for years now and on the occasions I have needed to speak to someone they have always been friendly but professional. You never get the feeling that you are being judged for being in debt and that fact that they are a charity too gives you the confidence that they aren't just after making money out of your problems.

It's a long road

Had just about given up on pretty much everything when I decided to call Step Change, Best Thing I have done, explained all the options I had and have helped me along the way, the road is a long, but with the help of Step Change eventually you will get to the end. Reviewed on: 28th July 2022

Amazing support for clients

I was struggling with debts and was wondering what to do , fortunately found step change and it’s amazing support which has helped me tremendously Reviewed on: 28th July 2022

Stepchange has given me control and and helped me learn budgeting tools along the way

I found Stepchange in 2018. Following a mental health crisis, and subsequent job loss my finances were spiralling out of control and I didn’t know which way to turn. Every time the phone rang or a letter came though the door I felt sick with worry dreading what was coming next. An ex-colleague found me in floods of tears and recommended Stepchange. I was terrified making the first call but need not have worried, I was greeted with a calm, friendly, reassuring voice and given advice on immediate remedial steps to take. The excellent support continued from there, within just a few weeks my DMP was set up and my creditors stopped chasing me for payments - the relief I felt was unexplainable, I could finally breathe and stop the constant worrying about money. As time went on and I felt stronger I was able to challenge payday loan companies for unaffordable lending. Some small wins allowed those debts to be cleared quicker. I started with over £14k in debt and a monthly payment of £88, in time I secured employment and I have been able to regularly review my budget and increase my payment to remain affordable. I now have approx 2.5k left to pay back and a debt free date of March-23 firmly in sight. Without the help and support from Stepchange this would not have been possible. I am so grateful and this is why I am putting them forward for my vote. Reviewed on: 28th July 2022
