Fantastic Experience!

5
I first approached StepChange in May 2018 and finished my plan in April 2023. It was a long road but they were extremely patient, friendly and non-judgmental throughout the entire experience. I rarely needed there assistance but when I did, it was promptly acted on and assured myself every step of the way. I managed to reduce £19,000 worth of debt in five years and it was such a simple process. I'll be forever grateful for the support and assistance they provided. Thank you! Reviewed on: 1st May 2024
