I was a nervous wreck with debts piling up after being made redundant. Stepchange was recommended by a family member and it was the best thing I ever did. They talked me through everything and set up a manageable payment scheme. Reviewed on: 19th May 2024

Life changers.

I cannot fault step change in anyway. They have got it exactly right. Great service, support, ease of set up, updates etc. I was in a bad place with money and I dreaded asking for help. I was embarrassed to be honest. I was also at my wits end and sinking. The whole process was simple to set up. The ongoing support has been perfect and hassle free. I am still in debt but now have breathing space and I can see an end. If you are reading this and are unsure, please don’t waste anymore time. Take the plunge and make contact. I promise you won’t regret it. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

FREE debt advice.

Let’s face it - you’re coming to StepChange because you need help rationalising finances. I didn’t start with StepChange as I’d never heard of them - they weren’t at the top of the internet search list. I went with someone else that CHARGED me for trying to get out of debt. A monthly fee payable alongside my repayments. Then I found StepChange and the process of them taking on the liaison and management became so simple. Customer service agents were brilliant - understanding and informative. They could answer any query, if not at the time then soon after. I can’t fault the service. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Please do not delay - Speak to StepChange now!

Because of a change of circumstances, I realised that I would soon be defaulting on my financial commitments. The amounts I owed several creditors, were in excess of £41k. Talking to MBNA they said, take action now and get StepChange to help you. Best decision of my life. I got in touch and, within a very short space of time, had a Debt Plan in place which was affordable but has allowed me to live a reasonably, comfortable life, - without fearing letters through the door! I am nearly three years in now and haven't missed a payment. Had to slightly delay a couple but they were still within the time boundaries. What has struck me the most is that everyone I have dealt with at StepChange are; friendly, non judgemental and incredibly supportive and helpful. Please, if you are in a financial mess - get their help - I promise you will not regret it! Reviewed on: 1st May 2024
