StepChange helped me get my finances back on track

5
When I found myself facing financial difficulties & ended up having to pay my bills with credit cards only to find myself crippled with interest charges & finding myself out of my depth. I contacted StepChange. They have helped me with a debt management plan, contacted all of my creditors & put in place a 3 month ‘breathing space’, during which time the creditors freeze interest charges & don’t contact you. A debt management plan is set-up & they work out ‘affordable’ payments & a budget. I pay one direct debit payment to Step-Change & they pay the creditors what I can afford pay them - working towards being debt free in 3-4 years. I already feel like the pressure & stress has been lifted. When I have contacted them, they are always professional, courteous & non judgmental. They have offered my a lifeline & Im so thankful, humbled & extremely grateful. They truly are exceptional & I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others. Reviewed on: 8th July 2023
