Totally Supportive

I have been with Stepchange for a few years now and I can honestly say that they have been suppotive of me in all the challenges life has thrown at me. They have always been so understanding when there has been a change in my financial situation and they are so easy to talk to. They go out of their way to make you feel that there is nothing to be ashamed of and more importantly ,that they are there to help you. I can honestly say that they found a way out of the dark well I was in and pulled me up inot the light again. Thank you Stepchange for always being there for me.

Should have contacted sooner

I was in a very dark place with my debts and not facing up to the problems we had, I felt i was alone and had noone to talk to. After speaking to Stepchange they helped so much and we have now been our plan for 6 months and its nice seeing i am making progress with the level of debt reducing. I should have called them sooner. The process was very easy and the advisers I spoke to on the phone didn't judge me. I have learnt now to manage my money better. Thank you Reviewed on: 10th July 2020

Simply put they are life savers/changers.

WHENEVER i HAVE HAD CAUSE TO CONTACT THEM THEY HAVE ALWAYS DONE EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO ASSIST ME. Reviewed on: 10th July 2020

Took My Fear Away

I had struggled for months and my stress and fear were through the roof, within a few sentences, Stepchange took that all away.. Very easy to talk too and totally non unjudgemental.. They very quickly assessed what my problem was, and a plan was set into place. When people find themselves in a position where they debt problems, every day is a nightmare and the brain becomes fuddled, Stepchange very efficiently explained everything clearly to me and in a way that seemed achievable.. I can never thank them enough as I genuinely feel they saved me.. Reviewed on: 10th July 2020
