Non-judgmental, friendly but businesslike.

5
I'm relieved that, although I still have debts, they are being managed in a sustainable and stress-free way. I didn't want to be or anticipate being in debt when I retired but at least there is now some light at the end of the tunnel. I am grateful to Stepchange for dealing with me in a non-judgmental and friendly but businesslike way. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Supportive and informative advice. Exceptional service.

5
I went to StepChange when I was right at the point of disaster after a change in circumstances. The person I spoke to talked through my options and recommended debt management, and said I was entitled to Breathing Space which was a godsend. I am now almost 3 years into my plan and it has changed my life so much. I can afford to live again without the constant fear which was making me quite ill. I cannot thank them enough for their help.

Step Change gives a way out of debt misery.

5
Step Change is a company that took all the pressure out of financial mess I had accumulated in a acrimonious divorce, without step change these creditors would have continued to threaten and bullied me into my downward debt spiral. Their help and guidance replaced dread with positivity that I was not the only one and things will get better, although still in debt, I do not feel helpless, well done StepChange.

I would like to thank you with all my heart and recommend it to anyone who is not able to cope on their own. One installment per month, according to how much is actually left from the salary. Thanks to you, I can breathe a sigh of relief and not worry about the bailiff knocking on my door. With you I feel safe and I don't worry about my future and that of my family. Thanks a lot.
