Without step change intervention as I was on the verge of taking my own life. Their help in sorting out the situation I put myself in is life changing for me personally as without them reaching out a deal with my creditors I would not have managed. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

I am never judged - just helped.

5
I am never judged - just helped. Even when I use unkind words about myself/the situation the staff never enable it either directly or indirectly. They explain things in a non jargon way and using extensive expertise and empathy, help guide you to not only the best decision that works for you (sharing with you all your possible options) but also sustaining progress across time in a consistent yet not overbearing way. I am not penalised for errors or difficult moments, and I can navigate being debt free with ease and clarity. They also advocate well when I receive unwarranted letters for an issue that is already being handled, and their online system makes it easy to keep control, update or edit to reflect your current circumstances or any changes. I've made great progress Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025
