Helped us all the way ,took away all the pressure and uncertainty and depression that can come with debt and dealing with it all,when you’re put in this position by a life changing disability that you thought would never happen to us Reviewed on: 10th May 2024

Best thing I ever did was talk to StepChange

No judgement when I talked through my debts, offered solid advice on the possible solutions and recommended what they felt was best for my circumstances. All correspondence was clear and the website portal was great to be able to log in and check on things or update balances. Also had very quick responses via email if I had any correspondence from creditors. The stressful phone calls and letters asking for payment stopped, which was a huge relief - StepChange contacted them all to advise of the new plan. Completing the budget also helped me to change my spending habits and prioritise what I actually needed. I am now debt free and looking forward to rebuilding my credit score as well as my self esteem! Reviewed on: 10th May 2024

I would urge anyone who is struggling with debt to contact Stepchange. Due to Chronic illness and being unable work full time I ended up debt. They have really helped me without shame or blame, and helped ease a psychological burden. Reviewed on: 9th May 2024

Step Change saved my life

When I contacted step change I was embarrassed and broken. Everything initially happened online so I didn't have to speak to anyone. I was depressed and suffering with acute stress and anxiety so conversation was not easy. I didn't need to speak. The online form helped and gave me an understanding of what I needed to do and what my options were. seeing an instant affordable repayment plan gave me hope. When I agreed to the plan a massive weight was lifted. When I did need to speak to a person they were and are so empathic. They are calm and reassuring. They contacted all the banks and took control and agreed on my behalf what was affordable. Step change will never really understand what they have done for me. They have given a reason to continue with life. I still have to pay what I owe (63K) but the interest which was drowning me has stopped. Paying it back is important to me and gives me self worth. I will be debt free in 39 months (initially was 42 but Ive paid 3 instalments. Massive thank you to step change. You are life savers Reviewed on: 9th May 2024
