Working with Step Change is a godsend!

I'm working with Step Change in order to manage my fathers debt. They've fully understood his situation and at the heart of it, negotiated a repayment plan that he can manage and as a result, they've taken away all of the stress of a difficult situation. Reviewed on: 7th May 2024

Excellent service from Stepchange....

Stepchange have completely turned my life around for the better. Due to unforeseen circumstances my finances were effected and this had a negative impact. I contacted Stepchange who went through my options and not once did I feel I was judged or being patronised. Although I speak to different advisors when I have to make contact with them every one have been so helpful and supportive. I have one more year to go before I am debt free but I couldn't have done any of this without their help. I would highly recommend this service to anyone who is struggling financially - you won't regret it. Reviewed on: 7th May 2024

In November 2019, I was forced to face my financial situation. It wasn’t pleasant, I couldn’t pay my debts, I didn’t have enough money to live on and I felt powerless and had a lot of shame. Calling Stepchange was one of the most difficult calls I’ve ever had to make but from the moment I spoke to someone there, things started to change. I felt first and foremost that someone was on my side and they helped me to believe I could move forward and be debt free one day. Now I won’t be debt free for a couple of years yet but I do know I will be. Working with Stepchange has changed me and my attitude towards money and having ‘things’. I am now in control of my financial situation, I live within my means and appreciate the things I have got. This approach of a step at a time, reviewing things regularly and the pastoral care provide is empowering in a way I can’t explain, and all this knowledge, support and care is provided by people I will never meet… I am grateful for all the support I have received so far and once I hit the zero balance, will be forever grateful as I will have complete control of my financial situation and therefore my life.

I no longer have to worry about phone calls or letters demanding payments. My monthly outgoings were 5 times higher than I am paying now. I no longer need to speak to any of my creditors, they are dealt with directly by step change. Reviewed on: 7th May 2024

Thanks You!

I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude to StepChange Debt Charity for the exceptional support they have provided me in managing my debts. From the very first interaction, it was evident that StepChange operates with a genuine commitment to assisting individuals facing financial challenges. The professionalism and empathy demonstrated by their team have been truly commendable throughout my journey. Furthermore, the accessibility of their services, whether through phone consultations or online resources, ensured that I always had the assistance I needed whenever questions arose. Thanks to StepChange, I now feel more in control of my finances and equipped with the tools to work towards a debt-free future. Their invaluable support has made a significant difference in my life, and I cannot recommend their services highly enough. In conclusion, I extend my sincerest thanks to StepChange Debt Charity for their unwavering commitment to helping individuals like myself achieve financial stability and peace of mind.
