The best out there.

Struggled with debt for a number of years. Step Change is a no nonsense, straight talking debt advice charity. They help you pick the right option and deal with all your creditors afterwards. Unlike some of the others there's no false promises of writing off debt and the process after looking around other providers is very easy. Thanks Step Change. Reviewed on: 14th July 2023

They were there when I needed them most

You never think you’re going to get into a situation where your income is less than your outgoings but unfortunately due to a few circumstances changing, I did, I contacted step change and set up a DMP. The whole process was easy and they have been very responsive either way. This is a very difficult time at the minute, the cost of living is high and I’m so happy to have step change to offer the support and guidance during this time. Reviewed on: 14th July 2023

Lifechangers

Stepchange changed our lives. We had beeen struggling to pay things, always using cards as a top up, to pay for weekly shopping etc until things had to stop. Credit card bills spiralled and we simply were just paying interest. Things had to change and we contacted stepchange, the staff were very helpful, non judgemental and made us feel at ease. The online process was simple to complete and we now are managing to live a normal life with out all the financial worries. Well done to the guys at stepchange Reviewed on: 14th July 2023

When all roads was closed Step Change stepped up

After losing my wife to Cancer leaving me with 3 young children, I had to give up on my business and employment to look after them relying on my savings and credit cards and then applying for Universal credit. I Got myself into serious debt, especially with energy suppliers, I couldn't see a way out until I spoke to Step Change, and they came up with a solution where all parties had to agree on a repayment plan, pay my creditors via Step Change and I can administer care to the children. Thank You Step Change, you saved my life. Reviewed on: 14th July 2023
