Confidential, helpful, efficient

I have had a debt management plan with step change for over a year now. From day 1 they have been great. Everything with them is super confidential and each time I have contacted them they have been so helpful and efficient. They send emails every couple of weeks with frequently asked questions and they are always so clear and full of great advice. Have recommended before and will recommend again Reviewed on: 17th July 2020

A step in the right direction, a change for good!

Following a very difficult divorce, I found myself swapped by mounting debts, which I was struggling to pay alone, despite my best efforts. This went on for some time, until I found out about Step-Change. I logged onto their website, but was struggling due to serious eyesight issues. I telephoned them, expecting to be chastised for my situation. This did not happen! The wonderful lady to whom I spoke could not have been more helpful and reassuring. One of the many things which I greatly appreciated was that not only was this lady extremely knowledgeable, but she fully listened to my concerns, and then patiently explained everything, spending quite some time going through my different options. Because of my eyesight issues, the lady offered to complete the paperwork/computer forms on my behalf, which I gratefully accepted. When the lady had all the information she needed, she ensured that the budget and plan suggested was achievable for me. I have suffered from serious depression for decades, and my financial situation was slowly pulling me in a negative direction. But at the end of the session, after speaking with that lady, I felt something I had not felt for a very long time. Hope. That is an incredibly very precious thing to give to someone. I have had cause to contact Step-Change a few times with queries, and they are always wonderfully helpful, and happy to assist. I honestly believe that I would not be here now, if not for all the kindness, advice, and support they have given me. And I know I am just one of many, many people who feel the same. Do they have my vote? Absolutely! 100% - Sue Reviewed on: 16th July 2020
