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

Overwhelmed by debt? Make a change. With StepChange.

When I was at my lowest ebb, and struggling to cope after divorce, I honestly did not know where to turn. I was recommended to StepChange. They gave me advice, and help, but the fact that they did this with unlimited patience, understanding, and support. They also gave me the most precious thing of all. Hope. I have been using their services for a few years now, and am almost totally clear of debts. Absolutely amazing organisation, with the most amazing people! I've recommended them various times, and highly recommend them. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

StepChange, simply amazing.

5
Quite simply put, without StepChange I would've been at rock bottom with no way up. They have a very simple but intuitive form to fill in with all your details, debts, etc and it's set up without any further input from yourself. Now instead of scraping pennies by at the end of the month, I make a reasonable payment to StepChange and even get to save a little money for any future problems. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

I was literally at the end of my tether when I called Step change, they went through everything with me and I felt a weight had been lifted! Everything is now 1 manageable monthly payment. My only regret was not getting in touch with them sooner! Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

I was in a lot of debt and they have helped me to manage and reduce that debt since 2020. I should be debt free by September this year. They have helped me to stay on track with my money and to save money where I can. It’s changed my attitude to save money and only pay for things when I have the money to do so. I will not be going back to loans and credit cards when my plan finishes. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024
