Right from the start, StepChange were full of support and judgement-free. It was all really easy: I gave them the details of my debts, signed a direct debit agreement and that was it! It took 2-3 years overall, and £18k later my debts are cleared. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Pure angel's

At the start of our debt journey we were in absolute despair but things changed as soon as we picked up the phone and spoke to the very first advisor. She put our minds at rest straight away and gave us the strength and focus to begin our journey. Over the years all we have ever been is supported by all the staff we have been in contact with. They take away the shame and embarrassment of being in debt. I can never thank them enough. They saved my life. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024
