Stepchange are an amazing charity and have really help me feel that I am on top of my debts. It took me a long time to contact them, as I was feeling so low and embarrassed to be in the position I was in, owing so much money. I’m so pleased that I contacted them, they helped me put together a plan that I have been able to comfortably manage for over a year. The whole process has been so simple and so reassuring. When I have called to speak to someone the staff have always been so understanding, helpful and completely non judgemental. They really are a fantastic organisation and I have recommended them to quite a few people. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

After going through a divorce and things got a bit too much, step change were recommended by a friend and they really helped alleviate the repayments of the debt I had built up due to this. They have been extremely helpful to make it affordable and to ensure I can still live, enjoy a little and manage what I can to repay what is comfortable for me. Would highly recommend if you are finding it difficult. It's worth the hit on your credit score to sort yourself out. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

When discussing my debts over the phone I was in tears. Stepchange were amazing at giving me comfort and support without feeling judged and ashamed. Nearly a year on and I feel so much better with their help. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Peace of mind.

Stepchange give you some peace of mind instead of dealing with the company you owe money. They talk on your behalf. I am still paying my debt for little my little. Dealing with the person o company you owe money would be much worse. I would not be able to handle the situation. So far stepchange been great. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024
