I was a nervous wreck with debts piling up after being made redundant. Stepchange was recommended by a family member and it was the best thing I ever did. They talked me through everything and set up a manageable payment scheme. Reviewed on: 19th May 2024

Outstanding and impactful care and advice

5
I have been helped by this organisation with debt advice and practical support. All my interactions with the individuals in this team have been calm, positive and supportive at a time of great stress and anxiety. Even the admin communication is carefully thought through so as not to add further stress and anxiety, I feel they pay attention to the impact of financial stress on an individual’s mental health. I can honestly say this charity has helped and guided me clearly through the practical steps of working towards clearing debt but also has significantly impacted my mental health with the calm and positive nature they have brought to the service. I am happier as a result of using this service. I already have recommended step change to friends and family and would strongly encourage anyone seeking support or guidance with debt to contact them without delay. Thank you for all your good work.

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
