All I can say they are the most fantastic and caring people I’ve had dealt with, they listen and don’t judge. I think StepChange should be congratulated. From me to StepChange thank you Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

From unmanagabel debt to a working debt management plan

5
I found myself in pretty severe financial difficulties about six months after the Pandemic Lockdown finished with reduced work and difficulty in finding other options to replace lost income. I contacted my bank and they directed me to StepChange. It was a tentative first contact that quickly became easier as I was listened to, was given sound advice and eventually had an agreed DMP (Debt Management Plan) put into place. Ever since money management has become easier but most of all thanks to an outstanding professional sevice from StepChange, I have left behind worrying myself sick trying to cope with everything financial on my own i am now able to function.

Since signing up for a DMP with step change our lives have changed for the better. The feeling of our debit being cleared and being able to afford to live is amazing. There was no judgement from the advisors about our situation and everyone we’ve spoken to has been supportive and empathetic. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Step Change make a huge difference

5
Step Change have helped me get my debts under control and become manageable. They helped pick me up when I was in crisis and didn’t know where to turn, and I can now see a light at the end of the tunnel. They explain everything and never judge you for being in debt which helps a lot. Paying the debt off by direct debit to Step Change and getting a monthly statement and yearly review, helps me to know exactly what I owe and to whom. It also gives me an end date by which the debt will be repaid which is great to work towards. I would have struggled to have coped without Step Change’s advice and guidance, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone who finds themselves in the same position and struggling.
