I can breathe again

StepChange Debt Charity is helping me deal with my debts. They have put in a plan for me and the stress of not having enough money is off my shoulders. Reviewed on: 8th July 2023

Step Change have been an amazing and practical support

I was totally stressed out and at a loss with what to do about my debt. I didn’t think I qualified for help but I was so wrong and wish I’d made the call sooner. The first level of support when I called Step Change was emotional support, they were so caring and took the weight off my shoulders and then continued to support me with the practical steps to resolving my debt overwhelm. Within weeks I had a plan set up, they’ve taken care of everything and I am left feeling in control of my finances, I’m saving a little each month and living within my means. I know exactly when I’ll be debt free and I no longer feel anxious or guilty about my financial situation. An amazing supportive and practical service, they deserve a big THANK YOU.

Excellent Service

I don’t know where I would have been without Step Change. After my husband started having blackouts and was unable to work, we found ourselves not able to pay our debt. Step Change were amazing with their, knowledge, help and support. They continue to be the company we turn too for help and support in this economic crisis. Reviewed on: 8th July 2023

Helpful and friendly

Extremely helpful in a stressful time. Easy to talk to. A big weight off my shoulders Reviewed on: 8th July 2023

One in a million!

A charity that’s a life saver! I couldn’t have wished for a more helpful service with the most understanding and supportive staff. They talked me through every aspect of my debt management, showing me there was a way out and I wasn’t alone. There was no judgement at all, just understanding and positivity that they could help me through one of the most difficult times in my life. I felt so disheartened and sad as though my world had ended before I rang them, now I feel in control and can see a way out. It will take me a long time to be debt free but at least I’m one step closer now and managing my money effectively, knowing help and encouragement is at the end of a phone if I need it. Thank you so much…you really did save me. Reviewed on: 8th July 2023

No hows and whys just focused on getting you back on track

Great service I thought there was no we’re to turn when things got out of hand with loans and cards that were manageable until interest rates went up then I found struggling every month to make ends meet.. phoned up step change they guided me trough everything helped with my finances and worked out what I could afford to pay and contacted all debtors for me telling them I was in financial difficulties and that I were willing to pay what I owed but it would be less than requested and over a slightly longer time frame now it’s just one payment a month to step change a month and they distribute payments on my behalf great service strongly recommend now I’m back to my usual self. Thanks Strepchange. Reviewed on: 8th July 2023
