StepChange changed my life

Following a difficult separation I was left with close to £30,000 of debt. I was paying almost £1,000 a month, with £700 of that being interest. I didn’t think that I would ever be able to get a hold of it. StepChange set me up paying £217 per month, completely affordable within my budget. This May, I made my last payment. It’s taken 9 years, but I could not have done this with this DMP. Thank you so much! Reviewed on: 13th May 2026

Credit safer!

Debt free journey

When I first heard about Stepchange things were a bit bleak, we had debt that we couldn’t cope with. Then my husband had two mini strokes, I was getting desperate with stress and worry. From the first phone call Stepchange reassured me that they could help. It just took a couple of calls to give them all the information they needed to help us. The horrid phone calls and letters stopped! We worked through a realistic budget, (Stepchange don’t want you to starve). Creditors accepted that we were working with Stepchange and agreed the monthly amounts offered. We are so relieved that our situation is under control. Keeping to a monthly budget is quite a fun challenge, we have saved hundreds using local marketplace sites. The thrill of tracking down what we need, especially if it has been pre-loved, and a fraction of buying new is like finding treasure. All the while our debts are shrinking with a couple gone altogether now. So if you are in a state about debt please get in touch with Stepchange, they are friendly and reassuring, not at all judgmental. You need to work with them, they are not clairvoyant. It’s so worth it, be kind to yourself and do it now. Reviewed on: 13th May 2026

A weight off my mind

They have been very helpful in me working to clear my debts. I just wish the cost of living crisis isn't causing me to extend the period to be debt free. Reviewed on: 13th May 2026

Wonderful

StepChange gave me clear, calm and easy‑to‑understand debt advice when I was really worried and didn’t know what to do. They listened carefully to my situation, explained all my options simply, and helped me set up a plan I could actually afford. Every person I spoke to was kind, patient and non‑judgmental — it took so much stress and weight off my shoulders. They handled all the talks with my creditors, which saved me so much worry and time. I honestly don’t think I could have got through it without them. They are professional, reliable and completely free — I recommend them to anyone struggling with debt. Reviewed on: 13th May 2026
