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

Non-judgmental, friendly but businesslike.

5
I'm relieved that, although I still have debts, they are being managed in a sustainable and stress-free way. I didn't want to be or anticipate being in debt when I retired but at least there is now some light at the end of the tunnel. I am grateful to Stepchange for dealing with me in a non-judgmental and friendly but businesslike way. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Supportive and informative advice. Exceptional service.

5
I went to StepChange when I was right at the point of disaster after a change in circumstances. The person I spoke to talked through my options and recommended debt management, and said I was entitled to Breathing Space which was a godsend. I am now almost 3 years into my plan and it has changed my life so much. I can afford to live again without the constant fear which was making me quite ill. I cannot thank them enough for their help.

Step Change gives a way out of debt misery.

5
Step Change is a company that took all the pressure out of financial mess I had accumulated in a acrimonious divorce, without step change these creditors would have continued to threaten and bullied me into my downward debt spiral. Their help and guidance replaced dread with positivity that I was not the only one and things will get better, although still in debt, I do not feel helpless, well done StepChange.
