The communication I've received when chatting with staff has always been very informative, honest and fair. My finances were put into a monthly package I could afford with the service being of great help to myself Reviewed on: 7th July 2023

Amazing

5
I was struggling for months after I had my baby with loads of debts, I’m so happy that my health visitor passed this company onto me, there hands down the most understanding people every time I ring a different person and they always have the most amazing people skills, i’m never made to feel like I’m stupid for asking a question. I would recommend this that company completely. Reviewed on: 7th July 2023

Helpful and thoughtful advise

5
As a person suffering from anxiety and depression, StepChange advised me and helped me step by step through my financial problems and eased my worries. Always patient and friendly on the phone, couldn't recommend them highly enough. Reviewed on: 7th July 2023

Helped me recover in every way possible

5
I'd accumulated so much debt, (twice my annual incomings) and was only able to pay interest with no chance of ever paying back my debts. Stepchange couldn't have been more helpful, they explained each of my options and explained how each might effect my credit score (and how I could protect my chances of employment in a financial industry). They got me out of a really bad place and I'm so grateful for their service. Reviewed on: 7th July 2023

Stepchange saved my life

5
They helped me a lot to manage my debt, if they hadn't helped me, I was thinking of ending my life. Reviewed on: 7th July 2023

Patient

5
I have an array of disabilities, and have needed lots of help. Everyone I have spoken to have been extremely patient, calm and lovely with me. They offered extra help as needed, and were always concerned with my safety. Because of my illnesses it took me almost a year to solidify my paperwork,(all down to me), they kept my account open and prompted me often to keep going. Finally its done, and I highly recommend anyone going through debt problems to ring step change and you won't be sorry. Reviewed on: 7th July 2023

Stepchange have always been extremely helpful and understanding when it came to my debt, the levels of stress and anxiety I was under completely changed (for the good) once I got in touch with them.

Superb service and peace of mind.

Stepchange were so friendly and non judgmental that it was easy to be completely honest about the financial struggle I was experiencing. They suggested a plan that best suited me and all the worry and stress seemed to melt away. Reviewed on: 7th July 2023

Excellent service

5
I reached out to Step Change who showed compassion &patience whilst we went through my debt. They took l the stress out of trying to manage my own debtors. They worked out a plan and are so professional&helpful throughout. If I have to call them the service is excellent. What a relief having such a service in this present climate of financial challenge for many. The fact we are being served by automation throughout so many of our businesses is frustrating for many,it also is very time consuming. Step Change are delivering a person centred approach and then you have the responsibility to manage your plan online,but are welcomed if needing to call and work out any issues. We'll done Step Change,you make a difference big time!!! Reviewed on: 7th July 2023
