I was a nervous wreck with debts piling up after being made redundant. Stepchange was recommended by a family member and it was the best thing I ever did. They talked me through everything and set up a manageable payment scheme. Reviewed on: 19th May 2024

Changed life

I was in the dark for so long until I came to know about stepchange and it did change my life, I am slowly getting back my financial confidence. So grateful for everyone's help and for the excellent customer service. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

I was drowning in debt following a house move and a change in jobs, one bad month would have left me deciding between food or energy bills even though I was working full time. I had debts everywhere and just making minimum payments, it was the most depressing situation to be in. StepChange are amazing, I didn't feel judged and they understood how best to budget and how much I could afford to pay. Things are improving and I try and up my payments where possible but having the weight of that debt removed was life changing for me. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Extremely helpful, polite and not at all judgemental which is a very refreshing change. Felt a huge weight lifted off my shoulders after contacting stepchange and now see the light at the end of the tunnel instead of a continuous black hole! Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

My experience...

l very rarely give full marks,because l feel there is allways room for improvement. They have so far done a good job. and l could recommend them, but as you know unless some one is in very bad debt, you never say you are in a debt. As you know mine was, because l lived with a girl that l never married. That passes away and had kinow insurance for a funeral and l fellt l should pay for one. l was paying it of ok with credit cards. That was ok till the HMRC came along after l retired and you were on workers Tax Credit as a low payed worker and we payed you to much. . Two weeks after l was told l by them thay had me on the wrong tax code and l owed them money back. You have spent it. Yes i would spend it. l do not know you were giving me to much Workers tax cre4dit and you had me on the wrong tax code., the woul d only say sorry ,but you spent i it and we want it back..The amount they were taking out of my pension, put me in debt. Now Shep Change so far has, with my good manament of Money has keep my head a bove water. and l can pay my way. With out Step Change l do not know were l woulld be, not a happy person.
