BEST THING EVER CREATED TO HELP WHEN IN NEED

Always accessible with user friendly and relevant advice.

I'm about halfway through a debt management plan arranged by Step Change which has been handled very well and given me much peace of mind. I would say to anybody with serious debt problems - don't hesitate, get in touch with Step Change and start your road to recovery. Reviewed on: 10th July 2020

Changed my life for the best

I didnt know where to turn and my sister told me to contact you and your adviser was so understanding. I felt so ashamed of getting into so much debt and didnt know where to turn. Stepchange turned my life around and I thank them every day of my life, for making me life worry free and liveable once more. I cannot say enough about them except to thank them all for everything they do and have done. Reviewed on: 10th July 2020

A FEELING OF BEING 'ON SIDE'

ALTHOUGH YOU ARE MEDIATORS - I HAVE VERY RARELY BEEN MADE TO FEEL BAD. MOSTLY YOU COME FROM A PLACE OF INSTILLING RESPONSIBILITY AND BEING PROACTIVE. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT ANYONE WOULD PURPOSELY CHOOSE DEBT - OFTEN IT IS LIFE CIRCUMSTANCES. STEP CHANGE SERVES A NECESSARY PURPOSE AND I AM PLEASED FOR THAT. 100 YEARS AGO, YOU WOULD BE THROWN IN PRISON! I HAVE TO DATE PAID BACK £10,000 - IT MIGHT BE SLOW PROGRESS BUT I AM INTENT ON PAYING BACK AND DOING THE RIGHT THING. THANK YOU - YOU MAKE IT POSSIBLE! Reviewed on: 10th July 2020

Relief from burden of debt

Excellent advise and the stress is lifted after talking to them. The whole process was easy to go through and you just leave everything in the hands to sort out. I just wish I had done it sooner. Reviewed on: 10th July 2020

A wonderful company and knowledgeable and friendly staff
