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

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

Step Change has provided relief and eased my mind. Knowing that this support was available to me and for others came as such a comfort. I felt overwhelmed and not sure where to turn. Step Change has given me hope. I cannot thank them enough. The future is far more certain. I am more present and calm. I cannot recommend them enough. They are brilliant! Reviewed on: 14th July 2023
