Very helpful and almost painless

Very worried about debts and not sure where / what to do. Step Change helped me a lot and took a lot of worry off my shoulders.. Creditors still chase but helped through it all. Reviewed on: 7th July 2023

Reassuring and professional

Was a bit wary Bout using at first, but after some phone calls I was feeling much better about being able to deal with my debt. The service was always professional, reassuring and friendly. I can't recommend Stepchange enough and if I ever hear of people struggling I always recommend stepchange for help and guidance. Great service Reviewed on: 7th July 2023

Helpful, knowledgeable and friendly

Having recently being bereaved, I was having difficulty in keeping up my payments. I contacted Step Change who advised a debt management programmme. I submitted my income and expenditure account which was approved by Step Change and submitted to my creditors for their approval, which was granted. I have been making regular payments into the DMP and am having* no more sleepless nights. Thank you Step Change. Reviewed on: 7th July 2023

So easy to follow and complete peace of mind

I was so anxious and depressed due to my financial situation but Stepchange took away all that and provided a first class service. Reviewed on: 7th July 2023

Fab company

Step change have helped me enormously with my debts and sorting the creditors out taking the strain off me. Obviously you have to supply them with all the relevant information but they then correspond with the creditors which prevents the creditors being on your back. If you need any financial assistance, I would definitely recommend Step Change Reviewed on: 7th July 2023
