I was a nervous wreck with debts piling up after being made redundant. Stepchange was recommended by a family member and it was the best thing I ever did. They talked me through everything and set up a manageable payment scheme. Reviewed on: 19th May 2024

No judgement. Kind, helpful, calm and supportive

I think covid has been hard for everyone. Once secure finances suddenly crumble in a very uncertain world. Step change are a constant in this. A friend in a really harrowing storm. I found them judgement free, calm informative and above all kind. I felt ashamed and they were supportive and reassuring while coaching me through a terrible time. They reminded me I didn’t have to do it alone and gave me peace when All I felt was anxiety. I can’t recommend them enough. Reviewed on: 25th July 2021

Life changing company

I was worried when I first entered into a DMP. Step change weren't judgmental at all and made the process very simple. Always felt I could call for advise if needed. Reviewed on: 24th July 2021

So helpful and non judgmental.

I would recommend Stepchange to anyone in need of assistance and a sympathetic ear. Always sound advice but the realisation that there are alternatives when you are down and struggling is so important, I’d go as far as to say, it’s actually saving lives! Reviewed on: 24th July 2021
