Covid ruined my business, step change help me pick up the Pieces Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Fantastic service, takes your worries away

5
I found out about Stepchange on the gov.uk website. I was in a mess financially, emotionally and mentally. The advisors were so kind, didn't judge and allowed me to do everything online for the figures, outgoings and debt. I was glad that they could help me, they contacted all of my creditors, told them how much I could afford and when I got threatening letters advised me and contacted the creditors for me. I no longer deal with my creditors which has helped my mental stress and I just pay a set amount to Stepchange every month. They then split it up to pay off my debts. The staff are fantastic, it is a totally free service and they remain your contact point for however long it takes to pay off your creditors. You also get monthly statements to show how you are doing. Before finding them I was looking at debt solution agencies who charge a monthly fee, I am so glad I found Stepchange instead.

I am not proud of falling into debt but sadly losing my business through Covid I was left with no choice.From the moment I spoke to Stepchange they were absolutely brilliant. They have helped manage my stress and anxiety associated with the debts and my creditors accordingly. As long as you keep your end of the bargain there is absolutely nothing they won't do to help you. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Step change changed my life.
