Exceptional StepChange team

The StepChange team are extremely knowledgeable and supportive to those who are following a debt management programme. I could not rate them high enough. The team do not judge you but instead work with you to form a budget to work to that helps you pay off your debt. StepChange give you budgetary advice that helps you stay out if debt. All the customer service advisers I have dealt with over 4 years have all been exceptional. If you are struggling with debts then you need to use this company. Best in class.

Step change has been invaluable in our debt management

Step change helped evaluate all our debts and what action was best suited for us. The biggest step is making that phone call and admitting you’re in need of help. They guided us through our debt management plan and organised affordable payment plans. They keep in touch and can amend our plan if circumstances change which we have done. The relief of finally being in control of our debt as opposed to it controlling us is why I would highly recommend them. There is no shame in reaching out for help. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Stepchange take the stress out of managing your debts!

Great advice on how best to manage your debts. Quick, easy process., great communication, huge relief they negotiate affordable repayments for you. I can’t praise them highly enough. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Their help has been invaluable and has helped me so much. I was so stressed until I bit the bullet and asked for help. I am looking forward to be debt free in 2 more years. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Wonderful support.

My husband and I are at retirement age and prior to this, serious illness meant that our debts got out of control. Through Citizens Advice we made contact with Stepchange and they helped us put a debt management plan together. That was a few years ago and although we still have issues to deal with moving forward, our creditors now leave us alone and Stepchange manage our DMP and deal with any issues. They are a godsend and without them I don’t think I could have carried on. I can now sleep at night and I know that they will help us deal with things in the future and be at our side. As a charity they do not charge any fees like some other companies that hard sell. All they need is honesty from you nothing else. All of our monthly payments go to the creditors. We couldn’t recommend them strongly enough. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024
