If only I knew about them sooner

At a point in my life as an adult I had to admit I needed help, not only with my mental health but also the debt I had accrued trying to buy happiness. From my first contact they helped put me on a path to paying down my debt and helping me see a way forward. Reviewed on: 17th June 2021

Huge support!

StepChange take all the stress out of debt management, and quite literally help you manage. After years of avoiding debt and dreading the phone ringing I finally got the support I needed and after just two years am almost debt free. Not once did I feel like I couldn’t managed day to day as my budgets were honest and flexible with StepChange. Reviewed on: 17th June 2021

Brilliant Service

5
I was in the depths of despair, felt like I was drowning with the weight of the world on my shoulders. I was scared as I felt full of shame, like I was a failure but I finally plucked up the courage to make contact. I thought I would be greeted with judgement but far from it. The staff were so lovely, kind & understanding. When I eventually came of the phone, I felt so light, I was daring to feel happy again, so relieved. It makes such an amazing difference that these lovely people did all the contact with the companies we owed money to, I couldn’t bear the thought of having to do that myself! This is an amazingly brilliant organisation that I would heartily recommend to everyone who has fallen on hard times. Reviewed on: 17th June 2021

Simple, straightforward & friendly

5
From the moment I first contact StepChange, they put me at ease, helped me get myself organised, review my budget and talked through the pros and cons of each of my suggested options. I went with their managed DMP and I don’t have to worry anymore as they collect payments by DD and send regular updates. Oh and website is fab and easy to use! Reviewed on: 17th June 2021

I was in a terrible state, worrying, unable to sleep, with two young children, a mortgage, and the final nail, was losing my job, once I found a new lower paid job, I came across step change, they help and supported me, never did they judge me, the person, I spoke to, was very understanding, gave me the reassures I needed, they went through the many options and a budget plan.
