I realised that I wouldn’t be able to afford repayments on my buy now pay later goods and credit cards/loans,so I decided to get help from Stepchange.very easy to do too.Just tell them how much you owe and the names of the companies you owe money too and they sort everything out for you.Create a budget and pay what you can realistically afford.Stepchange take care of all the letters which are sent to creditors on your behalf.They even give you an idea as to when the debt will be paid off.Takes the worry out of creditors pestering you with phone calls as I’ve never received one call from a creditor since Stepchange helped me with my situation.No fees are included as they are a charity.If you are struggling with payments which you can no longer afford,then get in touch with them and they will definitely be able to help.You don’t even have to talk to them over the phone as everything can be done via email.Highly recommended and very professional service.I am truly thankful for the service they provide.
