Life Changing

The support to get my debts on track and manageable has been life changing. Its gave me great control and has helped my mental health so much, i can't thank them enough. The way they helped both online and by phone was brilliant - not patronising or judgemental, just supportive and helpful. it wasn't complicated and once everything is set up - it just runs smoothly so your don't have to worry. Its Free, some companies try and charge you and take a fee - but it was all free and i have an end date to becoming debt free. An amazing service. Reviewed on: 10th July 2023

Understanding, Patient, Fast Acting

I have had a fantastic experience with Step Change. Spent a couple of hours talking through a solution in the form of a payment plan. they then dealt with the creditors directly. All I have to do is meet the monthly payment. No issues at all. Reviewed on: 10th July 2023

Help with the management of debt

After finding myself in a situation with mounting debt and suffering with severe anxiety, I came to a point where I could see no way forward. i contacted Step Change who helped me set up a DMP, this was set up and in place within a week, I cannot thank them enough. My DMP has been in place for 6 months now and i cannot express enough how this has helped me, The peace of mind that this has given me - we there are no words. i can now see a way forward, I will have repaid all of my debts in just under 4 years - this wouldn't have been possible without Step Change. I cannot thank them enough. Reviewed on: 10th July 2023
