They completely take the stress away, they understand and treat me like a human being, and ultimately, with their support, I am now moving forward with a positive mind frame and completely stress free Reviewed on: 9th July 2020

Amazing Company with lovely people that changed my life for the better

Due to unfortunate circumstances I could only pay minimum amounts on the credit cards and store cards that I had and the balance on each card was not reducing . I could not see a way out of my situation and the worry and stress was making me so ill. Then a friend who I had confided in told me to contact Stepchange. I did and it changed my life. They were so understanding and did not judge me and worked out my affordable payments so I had enough left to live on. I can’t thank them enough. Reviewed on: 9th July 2020

Changed my life

Thanks to the fantastic staff @ StepChange my life has become a worry free zone. Another company I had used where only paying half the amount of my monthly payments to my creditors . I’m pleased to say the whole amount is now being paid . Easy to set up and manage . I have had absolutely no issues at all with any creditors . I have never missed a payment and my debts are slowly but surely reducing. I’m very happy with my DMP . Reviewed on: 9th July 2020
