My experience...

l very rarely give full marks,because l feel there is allways room for improvement. They have so far done a good job. and l could recommend them, but as you know unless some one is in very bad debt, you never say you are in a debt. As you know mine was, because l lived with a girl that l never married. That passes away and had kinow insurance for a funeral and l fellt l should pay for one. l was paying it of ok with credit cards. That was ok till the HMRC came along after l retired and you were on workers Tax Credit as a low payed worker and we payed you to much. . Two weeks after l was told l by them thay had me on the wrong tax code and l owed them money back. You have spent it. Yes i would spend it. l do not know you were giving me to much Workers tax cre4dit and you had me on the wrong tax code., the woul d only say sorry ,but you spent i it and we want it back..The amount they were taking out of my pension, put me in debt. Now Shep Change so far has, with my good manament of Money has keep my head a bove water. and l can pay my way. With out Step Change l do not know were l woulld be, not a happy person.

I spoke with Stepchange because I was having difficulties in paying my debts due to a loss of income. I couldn’t keep on making repayments that I couldn’t afford to pay. With the help of stepchange, I’m taking control of my debts and I can pay something that is affordable for me. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

I don’t know how I would have managed without Step Change. I am so grateful to them and highly recommend them if someone is having financial difficulties. Each member of staff I have spoken to I’ve listened and not judged. I’m gone over and beyond to help me thank you to all of you. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

I had over £40,000 of debt from loans and credit cards. The money was used for bills and paying my mortgage having been made redundant several times in a short period. Without step change I think we would have lost our house and probably ended up divorced. My wife had no idea of the situation I had put us in. I can’t thank them enough for there help and compassion. Absolute life savers. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025
