Stepchange have changed my life, quite literally!

Stepchange have changed my life, quite literally! Over the course of some years I managed to build debts up to £65,000, the debts comprised of loans, credit cards, finance and overall the payment's were starting to cripple me financial. I couldn't afford to make each payment over the course of the month and the worry this caused was debilitating. It was through a friend that I was recommended to contact Stepchange. They were absolutely fantastic, putting my mind at ease and guiding me through the process of how I could not only manage my debts but with Debt Management Plan, pay them off. They formulated a payment plan that allowed me to continue to support my family but also pay off the debts. They dealt with the creditors directly so I didn't have to and I now had one point of contact to deal with it all. It was just over four years ago that I contacted them and in a couple of months I will be debt free. Throughout that time StepChange have been incredible, on occasion I struggled to make payments due to unforseen things coming up, so long as I contacted them to let them know they made sure everything was taken care of. For anyone that has any debt that they cannot cope with please get in touch with them, they are truly amazing and will I can't thank them enough for what they have done for me!

An amazing service. I am nearly debt free after being in a real mess. They liaised with my creditors and supported me through every step of the process. Every time I spoke to someone they were understanding, kind and most importantly competent. It’s like having a specialist lawyer at your disposal… for free! I can’t think of any other services in our cynical world like this, totally for our benefit with no strings attached. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024
