My debts had got out of hand and each month I didn’t know how I would pay everyone. I wish I’d contacted StepChange sooner - they helped me structure affordable payments to my creditors. They are so helpful when you get in touch with them and they never make you feel bad. An effortless way to manage payments. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

i was in a bad place until i was told about stepchange

until i was told about stepchange i was tearing my hair out in debt & worry. i like so many found my self in untold debt and this stress was making me very ill. it was one of my creditors who told me about stepchange and how they might be able to help me, so i made contact with them and now they just take care of my debt on my behalf. its simple one payment to stepchange (that i can afford!!) they work out how much of that money goes to each creditor & they also send update letters to my creditors and deal with any other issues i might have. i can not thank Stepchange enough!!!!!!! they have brought me out of a very very dark place and having thos thoughts thats so many ppl get.. DONT SUFFER IN SILENCE, GET THE HELP YOU NEED! CONTACT STEPCHANGE AND SEE IF THEY TO CAN TURN YOUR LIFE AROUND!! they have for me!! thank you stepchange for all your hard work and devotion thus helping me slowly get my fault debt paid back to my creditors then easing the burden 'of hell' i found my self in. its a little bit of a pain in the bum to go through all your debt to a stranger over the phone BUT its crucial you do this so stepchange can help you FULLY! *** the sad fact is, if i hadnt reached out and was told about stepchange i might not be here now writing this review...!!*** DONT LEAVE IT! DONT THINK IT WILL GO AWAY!! IT WONT! SORT IT! CONTACT STEPCHANGE!! SEE IF THEY CAN HELP YOU TO. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024
