When debt repayment reached £1100 per month, effectively my entire income, out of my mind with worry, contacted stepchange. After a brief chat and answered a few questions, the lady came back and asked , 'could you repay £249.00 per month, my reply was ,' dear god I would love to pay £240.00 a month',. Accepting that I had made an unholy mess of my finances, and brought misery to my family, I handed my problems to step change and have never looked back. Reviewed on: 2nd May 2024

Excellent service.

I started on a debt management plan late 2022 with another debt company, I paid into this for 9 months and realised that the other debt company was taking 75% of the payments I was making which was not making a dent in the debt that I owed. I made the decision after extensive research to move over to stepchange. This has been the best decision as now I know all of the money I pay is going straight back into the debts that I have and I have started to feel more positive about my debt situation. When I rang stepchange for my 6 monthly review I spoke to a lovely lady who made feel at ease and she even informed me that she used to be on the same plan as me and it made me feel as if I wasn’t the only person in the world. Honestly cannot recommend enough. It is a very scary thing to reach out and get help with something that is not spoken about enough. Reviewed on: 2nd May 2024

NO money worries and they do not take any fee.

stepchange operators are sympathetic, non judgmental, patient and very helpful. I owe large amounts to various lenders and with a simple call or online form you can have the cretitors contacted on your behalf and stop the letters or threats and stop interest on your debts. This is legal and it works. You work out how much you owe everyone, and what your income and expenditure is, be honest it helps them help you. Stepchange get back to you quickly and where i was paying my creditors hundreds each month (with their interest added) i now pay one payment of £54 a month which is divided among them. This has given me a stress free life financially and an annual review keeps you and them right. This is a great service which charges nothing and genuinely helps people in financial difficulty.
