No more panicking

I'm so glad I went to step change, they contacted my debtors and sorted out the best affordable plan for me. I just make one monthly payment and they do the rest. No more stress, and my debtors and I know I'm doing my best to clear my debts. They take the worry out of dreading letters coming through the door, and all the money I pay to them go to the debt nothing skimmed of the top. Reviewed on: 8th July 2023

Stepchange saved my sanity

5
Getting help from Stepchange was a life saver. They were there when I was going through the worst time of my life, ready to help sort out a mammoth mess. They were understanding and non judgemental, and at the same time efficient and effective. Having Stepchange on my side empowered me to be able to talk to my creditors, and gave me a peace of mind that I hadn’t felt for a long time. The fact that I can make one single payment to Stepchange, and know that each creator is receiving a satisfactory payment, is a huge relief. They even gave me a projected date for paying off all my debt, which is just a great feeling, knowing there’s an end in sight. I couldn’t have sorted out my finances without them. Just a god send really. Reviewed on: 8th July 2023

Fantastic

Over our time speaking with various StepChange employees over the phone, the help and advice we had received has always been brilliant. Reassuring, informative, friendly. Everything from start to finish sorting out our debt management plan has been straightforward. Their advice web page is easy to use and really helpful. We’ve recommended StepChange to family and friends who are also struggling with debt. At the beginning of this year we were in total panic. With the help of StepChange we are getting back on track and are so great full. Thank you Reviewed on: 8th July 2023
