Excellent Help

5
After many years of suffering debt from an ex partner, I found Step Change and what huge lift it was. The person who guided me through my budget and made me feel at ease has helped me sleep and live again. Will forever be thankful for this service. I have recommended Step Change to friends & family.

Helped me, when i thought no one could.

5
I ran up debts of approx £61,000. At the time i could afford the repayments, but when i looked at a projection of these debts, when my special offers on Credit Card transfers, etc. expired, I was horrified at what my new outgoings per month would be. I had also become very ill and any additional income stopped too. As i saw what was about to happen, i contacted National Debtline, but due to the amount i owed, they would not help me. I thought i was heading for the courts, but then i found Stepchange and they completely turned my life around. We had a conversation to dicuss my income and outgoings and how much i could afford to pay my creditors. I set up a plan with them and after just 1 year, my debts were down to £56,000. They have also alowed me a couple of months at a reduced payment, as i had to carry out some household problems and get my car repaired after it was hit in a car park. They really are so helpful and understanding. Even during this Covid-19 crisis, they understood that i had to pay much more for my food, as it had to be delivered and asked me to revise my plan for a while, to allow for the additional costs. I cannot thank them enough! Reviewed on: 8th July 2020

Great service and has literally changed my life

I was drowning and didn’t know what to do until I set up my DMP with StepChange - they have been understanding and supportive even during the pandemic and uncertainty that came with that. I’m so happy to have found StepChange Reviewed on: 8th July 2020

Very helpful,

Always a shoulder to lean on. Talk you through the budget, makes life easier and always have a peace of mind knowing that the debts are under control. All threatening letters stop coming through and the creditors receive the amount you can afford due to the step change instructions. Will always recommend them as they are free of charge.

I had no idea someone like StepChange existed. And someone can help take the stress away when credit mounts and struggling to juggle. It is hard to admit you need help and Stepchange guide through everything and once a payment plan is in place you know where you are up to. I would not even have a doubt to recommend Step change and spread awareness as I’m sure there are many people like myself who may have sought help sooner if they knew about them. All of the team are professional polite and after 8 years of communication I can’t thank them enough. Reviewed on: 8th July 2020

Absolutely lifted the weight from my shoulders

5
I was knee deep in debt... I thought I could handle the monthly payments but my outgoings were piling up. In tears I went to Stepchange and within a phone call they completely lifted the heavy weight I was experiencing. I was feeling like such a failure but Stepchange never judged me. Only helped and reassured me things will improve with time. They’re truly there to help you. They set up a monthly plan for me and made sure I could afford to eat, rent, petrol for work etc...and they contacted my debtors. In just over a years time I’ll be debt free thanks to Stepchange. I 100% recommend you make the same call I made to them 5 years ago. I was really struggling hard, in tears all the time but Stepchange helped greatly. I still took responsibility for my debts and paying back every penny but with Stepchange it’s done stress free. So you can live every day without anxious worrying. Relieve yourself from the heavy weight and make that call. Reviewed on: 8th July 2020

I was unfortunate enough to find myself in need of help with my financial in 2019 and when all looked bleak, it helped to learn and know about the help StepChange can offer. From first discussing your issue with them up to starting a plan with them, it is all seamless and flawless too. I would have been lost without them and they deserve all the best in this world.
