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

Saved my sanity, always there to help

I was at the end of my tether. I had a good job and was well able to handle the debts I had, until I was made redundant, at 58 with disabilities I was unable to get suitable employment. At that point I went into a spiral I couldn't control, Stepchange helped me to regain my control and get my debts into perspective, in a way that means I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you with all my heart. Reviewed on: 22nd July 2021

Lighten the load

At the very start, Step change listen to me, didn't judge me, gave me the advice to face up to my situation and help me move on. Awesome customer services, friendly and very understanding. They lifted a weight off my shoulders, lighten the load. Thank you Reviewed on: 22nd July 2021

Amazing!

Step change.. what can I say?!.. Absolutely amazing customer service! A hidden gem of a company. True, and a very genuinely helpful team. Every single person I have spoken with have dealt with my issues or problems with such compassion and taking into account the anxiety that money worries can bring. I was very nervous making my first phone call, but after I spoke to the lovely staff member, I felt at ease. Nothing is too much trouble, everyone gives you time to speak and you don’t feel rushed on the phone to explain quickly, so they can get you off the phone to deal with the next customer. Time is taken, compassion is shown. And this is how you treat people. Such kindness, and I will never forget the kindness and compassion at such a difficult time in my life.
