I fell on hard times after my wife left and I lost an entire income. Step Change were both compassionate and caring but, worked out an entire plan which enabled me to manage my finances going forward and, crucially, alleviated all of my worries during this taxing and emotional time. I have nothing but praise for this invaluable company. Reviewed on: 9th July 2023

Facing up to debt!

5
It took me awhile to face up to my debt problem and contact step change, having done that I still dithered over sharing my problem with a stranger, once I committed myself I realized just how switched on these people were to helping not just to solve the the problem but to reassure that you're not alone facing it, like so many before me I wish that I'd done this sooner, it may sound like a cliche but once I understood where all this was going it was like enormous weight being taken off my shoulders I cannot praise or recommend the whole team and the process to anybody who has any doubt about opening up to step change who are fully conversant with everything you're going through, I am pleased they've been foot forward for the reward and wish them every success they are life changes and deserve all the accolades they can have, regards Bruce Reviewed on: 8th July 2023

They literally saved me from credit death. I tried many other companies but they were not transparent. All they were doing is to put my monthly payments higher even though I couldn't afford. Reviewed on: 8th July 2023

A light at the end of a deep tunnel

When you have got yourself to a point when you dont know where to turn. The banks just let you borrow and borrow. I see an advert for Stepchange and wonder if they can help. Can i stop worrying about not be able to pay my debt. I know i have spent it but wanting to pay it back. There was no way i could afford the payments so i would recommend getting in touch with them. I can breath now knowing im getting the help i needed. Reviewed on: 8th July 2023
