Took away my stress and allowed me to breathe again

5
Being in debt is still pretty much a taboo subject in the UK. You dread phone calls and letters from creditors and live with constant dread, fear and anxiety. Step Change didn’t judge me. They guided me through the process and ultimately took the pressure from me so creditors couldn’t send me letters directly anymore And I didn’t have to dread letters and phone calls. I’m months away from being debt free, something I never imagined was possible. I know I have worked hard to pay every penny back and can be proud of myself rather than being ashamed and feeling like a failure. If you have serious levels of debt contacting Step Change could not only change your life, but ultimately save it. Reviewed on: 8th July 2020

Helpful Humans

I’m 4 years into my arrangement with 2 years (or hopefully less!) to go. Everyone I have dealt with at Step Change during this time has been helpful, knowledgeable and supportive. Some of the people I’ve spoken to have been in my position and their empathy is invaluable. I’m in this position due partly to circumstances beyond my control but I’ve never felt judged and I appreciate their own going support more than I can fully articulate. Reviewed on: 8th July 2020

Just after joining Step Change they reviewed my financial situation and arranged a debt management plan that was viable/affordable. It gave me great peace of mind and I was able to to enjoy my life. It lifted a burden off my shoulders. Step Change is an excellent service and going forward. I would recommend it to anyone who has debt problems. Reviewed on: 8th July 2020
