Step change have been my saviours

They have helped me more than any words can express and I will be grateful to them for the rest of my life Reviewed on: 8th July 2020

The answer to your financial worries.

I had several credit card debts that were adding interest so I was unable to get my financial affairs in order. I was advised to contact Stepchange and they have put me on a Debt Management Plan. I would recommend them to anyone who is struggling with managing their finances. Reviewed on: 9th July 2023

The help I needed.

It took me a long time to accept I needed help, From first contact with StepChange, the staff were so helpful and guided me through the process, 6 months later and life is less stressful now. Still a long way to go but I will make it thanks to the support. Reviewed on: 9th July 2023

Such a relief

Step change have changed our lives, they took care of everything with creditors and set up an affordable and stress free payment to pay off debts which had spiralled out of control. I don’t know what we would have done without them and we will never get in that situation again. We are so great full that there is a service that helps people like us when needed. Thank you Reviewed on: 9th July 2023

Best company

When I contacted step change I felt I was at my lowest point, I was scared that I'd be judged because of my debts. How wrong I was, the advisor was kind and understanding and made me feel at ease, we had an in-depth conversation and compiled all the information together, the advisor kept me informed at every point of what they were doing sent me emails to remind me of what I needed to do as, due to my poor health and surgeries my short term memory is the worst,. By the end of the consultation I was relieved and actually felt proud of myself as I was no longer burying my head in the sand. Step change send me a statement every month, my repayments are manageable, they even sent me template letters to send to the debtors that couldn't be included and they completed an application on my behalf to "breathing space" which, until my initial contact with the company, I knew nothing about! I have already recommended step change to friends and family, and for the first time in what feels like forever, I can see a distant light at the end of the very dark tunnel I was in.
