Best thing I did was to switch to stepchange.

I switched to Stepchange after a number of years with a different (commercial) debt management company- it was the BEST thing I could have done. Cannot thank them enough. Kind and non-judgemental but professional. Reviewed on: 3rd May 2024

I was very worried about finances following illness & disability. I was scared to discuss this but Stepchange advisors & processes really helped and the DMP plan that was agreed has given me peace of mind. Also I feel confident to approach Step change & have recommended others to do so. Reviewed on: 3rd May 2024

Was given a budget over the whole of my plan that left me able to pay off my debt. Reviewed every year so I was still able to pay monthly payments without struggling financially. Reviewed on: 3rd May 2024

Valued information and opinion at worrying times.

At a very distressing and confusing time StepChange helped giving me clarity of thought and reassurance, particularly re my bank, with whom I'd been a customer for over 40 years and who no longer could give a monkey's about me! Reviewed on: 3rd May 2024

Before speaking to Stepchange, I had sleepless nights a constant worry. Stepchange took me through the repayment process, at no point making me any false promises. I now piece of mind and above all I can sleep. Reviewed on: 3rd May 2024

Talk to Stepchange if you are Struggling

I didn’t know where to turn with my money issues. I was sceptical at first and embarrassed by my amount of debt, but by contacting stepchange it was the best thing I did. I’m still paying off my debt now but can finally see the finish line approaching. Took so much pressure of my mind having a DMP and stepchange have helped all the way Reviewed on: 3rd May 2024

Excellent staff always have the answers

I am very grateful to Step Change.

I am very grateful to Step Change. At the time of my first contact with them I was terrified about my financial situation & implications for being able to take care of my child after years of struggle as a single parent. My mental health was significantly impacted. Step Change offered me advice & support in a non-judgmental & practical way that made me feel safer, not on my own & more positive about how I could go about improving my situation. It has been a long journey but the time is now in view when I will be able to be finally debt-free. The whole journey would have been much more frightening without StepChange. And I'm not even sure I would have made it. I cannot thank StepChange & their debt counsellors enough. Reviewed on: 3rd May 2024

First rate service.

First rate service. Never had a problem and the systems work well. Nice to know they are only a phone call away should you need to make changes or ask for extra advice Reviewed on: 3rd May 2024
