I was facing mounting debts and couldn't face the problem. Thankfully I contacted StepChange and they have been amazing. They handled everything for me, dealing with the companies I owed money to. They've without doubt helped not only my financial situation, but also my mental health has improved massively thanks to them. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Real life saver. Once StepChange became involved in our debt problems we felt that we had someone on our side. Before that we were struggling with our debts with no solution in sight. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

During a period of extreme anxiety due to mounting Legal bills I found myself between a rock and a very hard place. Not knowing where to turn a friend recommended StepChange. They were completely understanding of my situation. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Best choice I ever made calling StepChange

1
I had never heard of StepChange until Citizens Advice recommended them. So happy I called them, they talked me through my options & we came up with a Deft Management plan that I am able to meet each month. I won’t be debt free until 2028 but at least after years of not sleeping due to the worry I now sleep soundly. Highly recommended, extremely helpful & very friendly!!!! Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

I had almost £20k of unsecured debt. I was barely able to make the minimum payments. Stepchange spoke with my creditors and arranged a manageable monthly payment. The relief was incredible. I felt like I had my life back. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024
