StepChange have helped me become debt free, I completed the budget form and entered in the amount that I owed and they gave me a plan to pay off my debt in a way I could manage. They contacted credit card companies and asked them to waive interest fees, which meant I could pay off my debt, without the balance increasing due to fees, which is the very stressful part, paying off a credit card and not seeing the balance reducing because of interest. Whenever I contacted StepChange the customer service was always helpful, sympathetic, friendly, kind and non-judgemental. I do not know what I would have done without StepChange and I am so grateful for the service they provide. Read more Read less

I had a 10.5 hour lower back spinal surgery which made it difficult for me to even sit for a certain length of time. However, this form is so long and even after being done, there was still still a client who was not paid because I did not do something correctly. Oh, if you could shorten your form, somehow. Nonetheless I had come much needed peace for recovery for a while. Read more Read less

Very patient and they take the time to get positive results. Their advice and understanding is very fair and they’re non judgemental. I do feel that they could have helped clear and write off debts I had as other friends that also used them with similar circumstances and debt had theirs cleared, so I did find it a bit unfair. If I didn’t know this, I wouldn’t have felt a little disappointed. But overall, they helped me clear debts and got my credit score back up. Read more Read less
