Excellent Service!

Excellent Service! I only wish I'd got in touch with them sooner. They've been extremely helpful, giving very clear, understandable advice & it's like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders because it's no longer just me dealing with things on my own. I've now got Step Change helping me with everything. Reviewed on: 6th May 2026

Massive wight off my shoulders

I was heavily in debt, avoiding creditors and constantly worried about how I was even going to be able to carry on living, that was untill my now fiancee pointing me in step changes direction. This turned out to be a good decision as they were brilliant! They didn't judge me and was very professional and friendly which put me at ease. Once they had all my income and out goings they came up with a few options, each was clearly explained to me and then I chose which way I want to go and an affordable payment plan was put in place. After almost two and a half years I've just over 6 months to go until I'm debt free!! From the minute I spoke with them it felt like a wight had been lifted off my shoulders..... Would highly recommend step change to anyone that needs help with their debts. Reviewed on: 6th May 2026

Step change were so helpful and understanding and worked with my creditors to make my payments affordable and after two years I'm well on track to turning everything around. Thank you for everything.

I can’t thank StepChange enough.

I can’t thank StepChange enough for the support they gave me at one of the lowest points in my life. After losing a well-paid job just as I’d started a new chapter with my family, everything quickly spiralled out of control. What had once been manageable debt suddenly became overwhelming, and the pressure took a serious toll on my mental health. It felt like everything was collapsing at once. Reaching out to StepChange was a turning point. They treated me with understanding, not judgment, and helped me make sense of what felt like an impossible situation. Their calm, practical advice brought order back into the chaos and gave me a clear path forward. With their help, things gradually stabilised. I’ve been able to start rebuilding my life, get back on my feet (even if it’s still a work in progress), and most importantly, reconnect with my family. My mental health has improved massively, and I finally feel like myself again. StepChange didn’t just help me manage my debt, they helped me regain control of my life. I’m incredibly grateful and would strongly recommend their services to anyone who feels overwhelmed and doesn’t know where to turn. Reviewed on: 6th May 2026
