Just can't thank stepchange and also formally called CCCS enough. My life is at an all time low when they helped me out on 2004. 80k debt is now around one quarter of that total despite being on a pretty low wage of 35 years in the NHS. Prior to their help n 2004 I had constant phone calls, people at my door demanding money I just did not have. 2 CCJs but at least I still have my house. The moment I took advice of my work colleagues and joined them the phone calls stopped and no more doorstep visits. Been a long journey but feel like there's light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you. Reviewed on: 6th June 2025

Started off with another company which I found out was charging a fee for managing my debts. Then I found Stepchange. Excellent and supportive customer service department, clear strategy for dealing with debt, and honest communication. Reviewed on: 6th June 2025
