I was a nervous wreck with debts piling up after being made redundant. Stepchange was recommended by a family member and it was the best thing I ever did. They talked me through everything and set up a manageable payment scheme. Reviewed on: 19th May 2024

Six months before we retired we knew we would have debts we could not cover with our pensions so we contacted Stepchange who got in touch with our creditors and arrange a debt management plan for us .What a relief, it took all the worry and stress away. We are still paying our debt off but at a rate we can afford.Thank you Stepchange Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Step Change

After worrying for years about my debts I contacted Step Change. They were very helpful and I am now, with their help, in control of my finances and able to sleep at night. My only regret is not contact them sooner. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Stepchange have been really helpful to me and because of this, I’m on the way to getting things sorted. The staff are helpful, don’t judge and don’t patronise. Everything is made crystal clear and all the options available are explained clearly. They obviously have good arrangements with all the major financial companies and get sort things that I would have never been able to get done. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Never feel judged by the assistant on the phone.

Never feel judged by the assistant on the phone. They are helpful and knowledgeable which is what you need when you’re trying to sort out your finances. If there’s a change it is easy to contact them and adjust payments as needed. Takes away the pressure of contacting creditors individually which would be time consuming and a struggle.
