A friend told me about step change I was so worried about my dept paying out more than I could I wouldn't no what I would of done without there help its Excellent service allows me to carry on without that worry . Reviewed on: 27th May 2025

Face the fear, it really is the best thing to do

5
When take I was very upset, I’d separated from my husband and was in debt from financial abuse (although I hadn’t recognised that at that point), and I was terrified I’d lose my family home. The lady I spoke to was so patient, calm and reassuring with me. She didn’t judge me and listened to me and guided me very well. The DMP helped me take back control and develop a better relationship with money, I have only 1 year left on my DMP and i am so proud of myself that I faced my debt and dealt with it straight away before it became any worse. I would completely recommend doing this Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

I was so stressed before I dealt with my debts and had no idea how to handle it. Stepchange helped me set up a DMP and ever since then I have been stress free and do not think about my debt. I’ve nearly paid it off and I’m so happy! Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

I have been mostly very happy with the service I have had. They certainly helped me get out of a great big hole I had dug for myself.! They have also been very discreet which has been invaluable as no one else has been aware of my problem. The only thing that I have been a bit concerned about is the fact that I have had notifications from a couple of companies that have informed me that I still owe them money. I have explained that Step Change had dealt with all of that and that my file has been closed by them but they are still sending me letters so I will be offering to pay them off a bit at a time.

I needed to handle the debt.

I needed to handle the debt. The process has been seamless, both when I was long term unemployed with no hope of paying off the debt and now working and reducing the debt. The assessment was a fair and reasonable process. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Stepchange are amazing

5
I have been with stepchange for 6 years and they helped me at my most vulnerable time, treated me with dignity and respect and helped me get back on track. I have recommended them to many people and will continue to do so. Whenever I have any queries they always assist me very quickly and give me the same 5* service they have for the last 6 years!
