When They Come For You, StepChange Is Your Shield

5
My partner fell seriously ill two years ago and we fell into debt as a result. It feels very lonely when you are having to deal with the banks and you dread every letter through the letterbox. StepChange helped us to work out an affordable repayment schedule and then contacted our creditors, more or less telling them what we could safely afford to repy. The relief of knowing we are paying back on our terms and that StepChange is a buffer between us and tehm is palpable. We still get the automated letters from our bank but we simply pass them along and think no more about it. Customer Service is always sympathetic and helpful and you never get the feeling that you are being judged. Thery appreciate - and will be the first to affirm - that life can somply sometimes be rough and that their job is to help make it a little less frightening, overwhelming and difficult.

Brilliant from start to finish. Any problems or queries were dealt with immediately. Very reassuring and felt at ease discussing my debts. Was not made to feel anything was an issue. The process was clear and precise. Would definitely recommend Stepchange. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Best change I ever made

I was in a hole and didn’t know what to do with all of the debt that I had. Step change took over and now the stress and worry has gone. One affordable monthly payment and no debt collectors chasing me. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

We have been in contact with Stepchange since they were Credit Counselling. It has been a long slow road for us to become debt. free and, although we're not there yet, we can finally see an end in sight. They are very helpful and calm in times when you exactly need that support. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

When my cognitive function became restricted due to a psychological breakdown I was left in the embarrassing position of being unable to work. Worse still, my ability to orate to a standard I had become used to had dissipated and I was in the midst of a crisis. Stepchange helped me control my finances when I became unable to do so, for this, I am eternally grateful. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Credit card debt

5
I was swamped with credit card debt, had my head firmly in the sand, i was scared everytime the phone rang and could not keep up with my payments. I found step change and have been able to condense everything into 1 monthly payment and I can see my debt reducing. I will be debt free in 9 months for the first time as an adult because of step change and it wasn't scary! Reviewed on: 1st May 2024
