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

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

Weights lifted

5
Following the breakdown of my marriage and subsequently financial disarray, i felt so overwhelmed by a whole multitude of recent events.. The final straw was the change of jobs and significant drop of income. This resulted in me having to take drastic measures. After reaching out to step change and looking at the available options for me. It was like a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders when i was accepted to enter their DMP. Times are still tough, but at keast i can manage better than i was previously. Thank you step change for all of your assistance in helping me choose the best way out of debt, with the various options on offer to me. Reviewed on: 8th July 2023

Took away my anxiety

5
I had lost my job through Covid and everything had got out of hand. I was a single woman aged 60 when it happened. I had my salary cut when furloughed, then I was made redundant. I had no chance of finding another job as my age was against me and I was in administration work and most had closed down. I didn’t know how to cope with mortgage payments and the debts I had no matter how big or small. I rang debt change as I wasn’t sleeping and couldn't cope. Before the end of the telephone consultation I knew I had done the right thing. I wasn’t made to feel inadequate because of the situation I was in. They sorted everything. I didn’t have to make phone calls to my creditors, they did it all. I now pay an affordable amount every month and receive statements and I’m kept up to date with everything they do to help me. I would advise anyone having a difficult time with debt to call for assistance. Reviewed on: 8th July 2023
