They have been absolutely amazing in helping me when I was financially drowning to make smaller more manageable payments each month.

Step change have been fantastic from the very start to now (nearly the end) I’ve never been judged once for what I got myself into, they’ve supported me and helped me get debt free! The help me set realistic repayments and took any stress away from dealing with the debt collectors/companies. So glad that I called step change and changed my finically situation around. Couldn’t have done it without them. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Don't struggle ask for help

5
I had used StepChange to help me manage my overwhelming debts. I took a debt management they talked and arranged all the payments with my creditors. The process was simple and I would just need to make a annual review to ensure I was managing my budgeting and paying the correct amount to clear my debts. I started with just £8000 of debts and next month I will make my final payment and be debt free! Its taken me a good few years but I have got there and most importantly the stress and anxiety of juggling the debt before I took out the plan disappeared I didn't get any letters other than annual statements.
