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

Grown up support with compassion

It was such a relief to talk to Step Change. The person on the end the phone was so understanding, helpful, and practical. I've never done anything like this before and it was a big step to make that phone call. Thank you to Step Change for helping me transition from overwhelm into having a manageable plan. Every person I have spoken to has given me good advice and gone over and above their role. Nothing is too much trouble. Reviewed on: 10th July 2023

Saved me from debt hell

5
Step Change were so helpful. I was mired in debt and couldn't see a light. When I finally admitted the problem to myself, Step Change were able to give me good advice. I gave them my complete list of debts and my income/expenditure and we were able to work out how much I could afford. They then took this to all my creditors and agreed the plan with them. I would never have been able to do this alone but they know exactly what to do and it was so painless. I am very grateful to them for all their help that has turned a nightmare into merely a problem.

Life Changer!

I can't recommend the Step Change service highly enough! The support they give, on every contact with the team, is honest, sensitive and informative. They are non judgemental and encourage me to look at my budget in a logical and measured way, and not over extend myself when it comes to the amount I pay monthly. One of the best parts of the service is that they deal with my creditors directly which takes so much pressure off me and makes getting my life back on track so much more handleable. I can't thank Step Change enough for all their ongoing help in getting my confidence in my finances back. Reviewed on: 10th July 2023

Saved my sanity

I started to lose my business during covid and then the cost of living nailed the final nail in its coffin! I was left with huge debts and being hounded for payments left me with some very dark thoughts until I saw an advert on TV for stepchange, igot in touch and thier advice was brilliant it was so easy to fill out the online forms etc, they then did all the frustrating stuff like contacting my creditor's and set up my payment plan, you can view your plan in your online account any time and make any changes if your circumstances change, I'd would highly recommend them to anyone that is struggling with debt Reviewed on: 10th July 2023
