Stepchange has always given me complete support to my financial hardship

I had an operation and was off work for a few months. I owed a large amount of money to credit cards and could not afford the monthly payment because I was only on SSP. I was recommended by a friend to seek help from Stepchange. After doing so I felt very relieved, as all the pressure, worry and anxiety had been taken away. Stepchange were very sympathetic and professional, they explained how they were going to help and put my mind at ease imidiatly. Reviewed on: 24th April 2020

Weight off my shoulders

All my money every month was going on paying back my credit cards, I had no job and didn’t know what to do. Looking through the internet I came across Step Change & contacted them. After completing a budget plan with their help everything suddenly felt easier & clearer. I still had the debt but now I had a way forward. The plan is flexible & they never suggest you pay more than you can afford and their advice and service is free. Brilliant people! Thank you Reviewed on: 24th April 2020

Mind numbing weight: Lifted!

I caught a virus, that over time, stopped me from doing almost anything. I used my savings, then 0% Creditcard offers, to keep my life as normal as possible. The 0% offers started to end; and I couldn’t finance my monthly outgoings! The CC interest went from 0 to 20%+ in days. Instead of healthy savings, i had an out of control debt. Suddenly, I missed my Mortgage payment by 47p! I received a message from my bank. I was numb. They gave me a number to ring. After a detailed questionnaire, they recommended I contact a Debt charity. I rang StepChange and was greeted by a person who really wanted to help resolve my issues. Every time I contact them, I am treated as a person more important than them! It is a massively humbling experience, but the relationship becomes like family. I continually receive information and advice, but it’s not intrusive. They recognise, that a general email; can be written and sent to a broad spectrum of people; where the details can be treated as specific to You or just general information. I’m now on a DMP and appreciate everything StepChange do to make my life easier! Reviewed on: 23rd April 2020

Understanding.

I was very agitated when I contacted step change. I had just been diagnosed with cancer on top of financial difficulties. They put you at ease straight away and you feel you are not alone. They get straight on to helping you sort stuff out and help with advice in contacting creditors. You then have time to sort out your best options with step change helping all the way. Cannot praise them enough for their care and understanding. Reviewed on: 23rd April 2020
