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.

Excellent, highly recommended if in debt

I was at my wits end , didn’t know where to turn due to rising debts. Step change supported me in getting my finances in order and once I gave them all the details they contacted the companies and set up a payment plan . This took so much stress off me. My mental health was hugely impacted as didn’t know what to do one phone call and then completing the form sorted this out for me and felt back in cony. Advisors very professional but showed compassion when dealing with me . Excellent service and would recommend anyone struggling with debt to contact them for advice . Reviewed on: 9th July 2023
