Really friendly people on the phone.

Really friendly people on the phone. They all listened and didn’t judge Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Take back control

5
Making the first phone call was the hardest step. I was embarrassed and scared about the mess we'd got into with our finances. The call handler was friendly and reassuring and I never felt judged. Our options were explained carefully and the final decision was ours. Our DMP was created with us, taking into account the size of our family and realistic living. It's been a long road paying it but the end is in sight and we've still managed to live. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Stepchange saved my life.

Stepchange saved my life. I was in trouble and did not know where to turn and they threw me a lifeline and helped me work out a plan to get out of my debt. Over the past 10 yrs, they have helped me sleep peacefully, knowing my debtors are getting monthly payments in amounts I could handle. I am almost debt free now. The best part of this organisation was the way they made me feel… heard… and that I matter. These people are wonderful! Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

5
They were there for me when I didn't know what to do, they listened without judgment and explained my options to me. I remember feeling so lost and overwhelmed by my debts, and just being able to talk to someone who understood and could provide a way forward was such a relief. The process of setting up a Debt Management Plan was straightforward, and they handled all the communication with my creditors, which took a huge weight off my shoulders. It made all the difference to my mindset knowing that someone was fighting for me and on my behalf to get me back on my feet. I would strongly encourage anyone in debt to seek the help of StepChange. They are a lifeline, offering free, impartial advice and practical support when you need it most. If you're unsure what to do, please get in touch with them – they were there for me, and they can do the same for you. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Since Spoke with Debt Advisors, they explained at detail all options that I can applying. It was the best support that I had due I was so stressed with my debts, even there were nights unable to sleeping well due worrying.
