Difficult times ?

Difficult times. Step change are empathetic, totally understanding of what you’re going through. Great help in difficult times/ situations. Needed help with all finances, fearful, getting sorted with StepChange, was easy, they took the fear of talking about finances away from me! Didn’t worry after the first few sentences, I knew I was making right decision/ choice with StepChange. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Trust StepChange to get you back on track

It was difficult to take the first step and make the call, but I'm glad I did. It was the most sensible thing I did. Once I knew I had the support of StepChange, it took off a load of financial worry from me. Just knowing that I was making manageable monthly payments and that I didn't have to deal directly with my creditors made a huge difference. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Making a call when you’re struggling is the hardest thing to do. Step Change have online options too. Which makes it so much easier to make that first step. And once you do the Support and communication is second to none. If you’re struggling, take the first step and get in touch with Step Change. I struggled for years and wish I’d have made that choice sooner. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Should’ve got in touch with them sooner, helped me to get on top of my finances and spoke to all my creditors so I didn’t have to. Can take a long time to get through to customer services on the phone but other than that they provide a brilliant service. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Debt Management Plan - can see an end

5
I have been on a Debt Management Plan with StepChange for 6 months. I’d reached a point where I was paying a large amount every month towards credit card debts, but not actually paying much off the balance and I felt overwhelmed that I would be in debt forever. I looked into options for debt consolidation but then found StepChange and saw that they could help implement a plan which would leave me debt free in the near future. I didn’t want to speak on the phone so I completed a budget online which was easy and provided creditors details. StepChange then contacted everyone for me and agreed the plan. I feel like I am actually paying off debts now and can see balances going down which is a weight lifted for me Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025
