In Debt? The change is one Step away.

I had reached a point where my interest on credit card debt was so high that I couldn't work my way out of the situation, so at best I was only covering interest. I even had reached a point where I was failing to pay the minimum monthly payments. I had been in this situation for many years so my only regret is that I didn't know about Stepchange earlier. I could have recovered so much quicker but at least better late than never applied. It was the biggest weight off my shoulders I could ever have asked for. The help was amazing and the emotional and moral support priceless. Don't drown in silence because Stepchange are there to throw you a lifebelt and pull you to shore. You are not alone with debt problems. Stepchange will guide you through your darkest days and the light at the end of the tunnel will soon be visible. Reviewed on: 6th May 2026

StepChange have, many times, made a very stressful period of my life bearable. They are always available to speak with and are there to advise on the best course of action for me to become debt free as soon as is manageable. The fact that they are a charity is amazing to me. Not unlike the RNLI or the Air Ambulances I really feel these charity run organisations should be supported better by the Government. You may feel that comparing a debt management organisation to emergency services is hyperbolic, but I do think StepChange saves lives. Reviewed on: 6th May 2026
