Stepchange

I was struggling with overcommitments to loans and credit cards, but equally terrified of facing up to the full extent of my debt. Stepchange's online guidance helped point me to the best solution- a debt management plan- without judging me. You do need to pull a lot of information together, but you'd have to do this anyway if you're serious about sorting out your finances! Once the application was done, the process was straightforward. Stepchange dealt with pretty much everything (I still had to tell my creditors that I was entering the DMP) and now make monthly affordable payment to my creditors on my behalf. I'm so grateful for the service they provide and the place of mind it has brought me. Reviewed on: 4th June 2026

Non judgmental, helpful, free advice

Non judgmental, helpful, free advice and guidance. I found myself in a situation where my circumstances were changing and I realised I needed to find a way to take control of my debts. I was struggling to keep up with alongside the cost of living increases. I contacted Step change who evaluated my situation, gave me options and their recommendation of the best way to proceed. I was given choice and advice. After that I was guided through the next steps, outlining my budget, payments to creditors and Step change handled the communication with the creditors. I’ve had minimal contact with the creditors, I’ve managed to stick to my payment plan and I’m a few months away from being debt free. Facing up to debt, taking control of your finances is hard but Step Change makes the process easier and less daunting. Reviewed on: 3rd June 2026
