Review of Debt Management Plan

Given the situation I have found myself in, the help and guidance provided by Step Change has been invaluable. It has left me feeling much less stressed about my situation and more positive about the future with managing my debts. The people I have spoken too are brilliant with how they approach your problems. For anyone in a similar situation I would recommend Step Change for help without any hesitation.

Saving my life

I’ve given a review title saving my life which is very true about eight years ago I was in a financial mess I had maxed out up to eight credit cards and couldn’t afford the cost of my sons wedding in Cyprus I had to borrow the money from my partner I was only paying the minimum on my credit cards and every month my balance was not going down I contacted step change for support and supplied you with my card details it worked out that I owed just short of £38000 I really didn’t know I owed that much stepchange sorted out a payment plan based on my wages and outgoings the interest on the cards stopped and I was able to slowly reduce my debts I’m still about a year away but now it’s down to just over £1500 when covi hit you reduced my payments by half you cannot understand how grateful I am and I have recommended you to my friends thankyou so much for the help you provided I will forever be grateful Reviewed on: 11th May 2024

Stephanie were brilliant when I first asked for their help. Practical, non judgemental advice and support. I have been under their care for a few years now and continue steadily, with their help, to pay my debts off. Reviewed on: 11th May 2024

Help When You Need It Most

Very experienced and knowledgeable staff helped me and my family get out of a very difficult situation and we are now debt free. Reviewed on: 11th May 2024

A godsend in this current climate

Like many in the current economic climate, I have been experiencing financial difficulties, with the anxieties that these have invoked. The advisor that I spoke with at StepChange did much to reassure me and provided no-nonsense advice for getting my finances back in some sort of order. The relief that I felt at getting my concerns voiced and listened to, with the practical steps suggested that I take have helped lift some of the pressure that I have been feeling. There’s still a long way to go, but now that I’ve made the first ‘step’ then I feel less anxious about tomorrow. The service that they provide (and it’s free) is a godsend to individuals like myself who are feeling the impact of this current government’s economic policy, where those with little are being squeezed ever tighter.
