Excellent Service and Advice

Could no cope with the help I received Reviewed on: 8th July 2020

Friendly advice & support!

Last year I found myself in a very scary & worrying place, both financially & mentally, but can honestly say that with the great service received from StepChange, I am in a much better place now a year later! Their patience, kindness & understanding of the situation I’d found myself to be in, was so appreciated & helped me greatly to deal with all aspects of my unfortunate circumstances. I cannot thank them enough & 100% recommend their services! Reviewed on: 8th July 2020

Excellent and clear advice, rescuing us from a tailspin of anxiety and confusion

After capricious, callous and ill-investigated advice from my bank of 30 years I was in a tailspin of anxiety and confusion. To be treated with respect by an Step Change adviser, who made everything clear and helped me explore options, was transformative, restoring self-respect and equilibrium. Every agency I had been dealing with respected Step Change procedures and all transactions became manageable, even when unexpected hitches arose. I just wish they were able to bring their clear thinking and entirely understandable advice to non-debt finance for those of us of small means but still needing to make financial decisions.

Amazing

So helpful, I felt so guilty for being in debt but they truly put my mind at rest. Reviewed on: 8th July 2020

Helped me hope again!

I was referred to Stepchange by a friend and was quite anxious about calling. However, everyone I spoke to was extremely kind and helpful and I was amazed at how quickly I could be debt free by have a proper DMP, without calling I would have never paid my debts off. Now I just have 24 months to go and I have hope again. So grateful for everything they have done I would definitely recommend them to others who are struggling Reviewed on: 8th July 2020

Highly recommended

Great advice, great support and follow up advice. Non judgemental and very understanding Reviewed on: 8th July 2020

Light in the deepest darkness

When we first contacted Step Change, we had reached the end of everything. Our income was entirely paying off debts so that we could then use the same credit cards (and go over limits) just to try and survive. After just one phone call I cried with pure relief - relief that there was a way out, relief that someone had been able to listen, relief that there really was hope. Step Change have rescued us. I can't bear to even think about what would have happened without them. Reviewed on: 8th July 2020

Supported me through a life crisis

Supported me through a life crisis - I had accumulated credit card debts after my divorce - StepChange helped me to schedule manageable repayments. Reviewed on: 8th July 2020

Excellent Service.

I was so frightened making that first call. But as soon as I spoke to an advisor, all that fell away. Your organisation has been so empathic and supportive, I stopped feeling so ashamed, that I got into financial difficulties. Thank you so much for your help and support. Reviewed on: 8th July 2020

Easy help when needed

Can’t say how much pressure stepchange has lifted from me. I feel like I have a life and goal to end my financial troubles. Reviewed on: 8th July 2020
