Stepchange helped me when I was really low

5
I found stepchange when I was in a situation where my debts were out of hand and I could not get on top of them. They took the stress away from me and contacted all my creditors and got all my additional charges frozen. I then did an income and expenditure form where we worked out what I could afford to pay step change, and they then split that between each creditor. I am still paying this now and have never been stressed about my debt since. Stepchange literally helped me come out of depression I had around mu finances! Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

StepChange dug me out of a hole

It took less than a week for StepChange to get my debts organised into small payments and show me all the options that were available. They gave a full detail account of all my options and let me decide how I felt was best for me to pick. Debt Management Plan is easy to understand and set up and payments can be changed to suit my circumstances. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Despair to relief and a manageable payment plan

5
I was in a total hole and panicking after having so much time off with Covid. Thanks to the guys at Stepchange we got my creditors all in one place. They informed my creditors how much I could pay and how often. This has been so great. It stops most of them harassing you and means I know the money is going down every month. I have had months I could pay more and could even take a break in an emergency. Honestly call them they will take all the worry and pressure off you and allow you to breath. You still need to help them providing details when your creditors sell your debt. Even this is easy. You just call or email them with your reference number the new creditors details and their ref number. Please call these guys you will not regret it. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024
