I can't praise this organisation enough

5
Step Change have helped me to get out of the financial hole I was in and get back on my feet again. Their service, right from the start, has been person-centred, giving me available options along the way. I have managed to get in contact straight away when I've needed to and I've had my own case worker, who knows me personally and I feel the support and understanding I've been given couldn't be improved upon. Step Change deserves thls recognition and I recommend them to anyone without hesitation. Reviewed on: 8th July 2023

Caring and Compassionate

5
An easy to navigate online system along with caring individuals who work for the company, helped me move forward. Everyone's circumstances are different and come with different worries. These days DEBT is probably the no.1 worry for most people. Helping individuals to get the best solution is important and that's where Step Change Debt Charity did! Open, honest, empathetic are a few word I would use to describe them. Thank you for helping! Reviewed on: 8th July 2023

My Debt Management Plan

5
I contacted Stepchange as I was struggling with unsecured Debts which had built up over time following my wife's Bereavement after which I went of the rails and needed help desperately. From the moment I contacted them everything calmed down and they very quickly suggested a DMP as the best option for me and after I agreed contacted all my creditors very quickly and put into place the DMP which has been running for over a year now. All my interractions with Stepchange have been very positive and I can't praise them enough! Reviewed on: 8th July 2023

Helpful, non-judgemental advice and support

5
I struggled to accept that I needed help with my debts. I am almost 70 and felt very embarrassed to be in this position at this time in my life. Step Change were recommended to me by my bank. Right from my very first contact Step Change were helpful and I never felt patronised or judged.. I have had my debt management plan for over a year now and it is encouraging to see my debt decreasing at last. Reviewed on: 8th July 2023
