StepChange have changed my life and I couldn't be more grateful for the service they've offered. Because of them I am able to pay my debts without drowning in rising interest whilst balancing my monthly bills, expenses and a little on top to still enjoy life. The interface is really smart and easy to use so I love checking my monthly statements to see my balance being paid off. The team are always so helpful and judgement free which makes a huge difference. I couldn't recommend them more (and do, frequently!). Reviewed on: 6th June 2025

I was in a mess!

I was in a mess! Stepchange have assisted me to sort that mess. I have no longer sleepless nights worrying about the challenges of my debts. My partner worrying that I can not cope financially. I have been diagnosed with a neurodivere set of conditions. I used to worry everytime I got paid about how would I deal with the calls. I also used to worry about my payments not being enough. I now am in the knowledge they are being sorted. I also have not anymore the calls, threatening letters and grief that I used to have. I now just pay what I need too and know there is pain but there is light at the end of the tunnel. I also know that one day I will be past this learning from it and being able to say thank you to Stepchange. Reviewed on: 6th June 2025
