It is first time when I have to use DMP , I have to say that Step Change is the best company to which one you can decide to go in that situation, always happy to help you , support you really. For them you are a person which they want to help , not a number on screen , help is set up for you individually. THEY ARE THE BEST !!!!!!!!! Reviewed on: 7th July 2023

A Weight Off my Mind

5
In all honesty I wish I'd contacted Step Change sooner than I did. Process was so simple and it's a huge weight off my mind now that I no longer have to deal with credit companies harassing me to up my minimum monthly payments Reviewed on: 7th July 2023

First class help

I couldn’t be more grateful for StepChange’s help in a very complex debt situation- they listened, understood and helped put a debt management plan in place with my mum’s bank. Really first rate service and a continuity while sorting it all out. Reviewed on: 7th July 2023

Really helpful team

Helped me to feel a lot more secure in my payments to creditors. Always quick to answer their phones and really friendly when you speak to them Reviewed on: 7th July 2023

Saved me

5
I was literally in a very bad way, emotionally and financially, my mental health was the worst it could be and my debts were out of control. I finally had to face into my problem and call Stepchange. I was embarrassed at how I had let my life and finances get out of control. The call was easy, no judging. It takes a bit of time to get it all sorted, lots of letters but after a couple of weeks I felt in control for the first time in two years. It’s going to take me very long time to clear my debt but at least I have an affordable plan. Everyone I have dealt with has been understanding. It’s a really horrible feeling but Stepchange have pretty much saved my life. Reviewed on: 7th July 2023

Fantastic charity

I contacted step change because I was struggling financially, they were extremely helpful and made me feel at ease. They helped me to set up a plan to repay my debts. I don't think I could of done this without the help from the staff at step change. Reviewed on: 7th July 2023

Peace of mind

5
I was very sceptical about using a debt management company but I was in such a bad way financially that I needed to take action. Stepchange was recommended to me through one of the companies to whom I owed a debt. They offered different solutions for my circumstances and provided me with the tools to help me through and now I am in a plan that is helping me sort my debts and hopefully one day I'll be debt free. Applying through Stepchange was easy and straight forward and gave me such peace of mind, which I hadn't had in a long time. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them to anyone.
