Very understanding and helpful

As you can imagine having debt and not being able to afford it and worrying about everything can be awful. Step change has helped so much I feel less stressed and worried I can afford the payments. Anytime I've had to speak to step change they have always been very helpful and understanding. I review my plan each year but I'm sure if I had any problems they would listen and help any way they can Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Room for improvement

Very goog experience but a few things can improve. If Step Change can help nagotiate an early settlement figure with the creditors, it would be good. We had to do this ourselves with little success as we were not experienced or good enough to. Also StepChanbge should try to calll us more on importance updates. The budget plan should be easier to use and van be quite daunting to use. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Very Trustworthy & Helpful

Took me from a very desperate situation five years ago to only being 5 months away from debt free. Genuinely saved my life and I cannot recommend these people enough-if you have any problem with debt it will be the best thing you ever did! No judgement, just helpful and reassuring.
