Gave me hope Gave me a life

I can't praise stepchange enough I have a IVA with them. I was drowning in debt I felt so low it was a tough time the process was smooth they helped all the way and have been fantastic ever since if I've had to contact them or during my annual review. I always recommended them to people if I hear there struggling. There is still a taboo about debt it's only certain people etc but that is far from the truth it can and does effect everyone from all different walks of life and backgrounds. Stepchange support you every step of the way give you hope in the dark days give you a life back and eventually the aim is to be debt free. Just over 12 months for me and I will have finished they do except you to want to do it and follow the required procedures which is how it should be it's going to feel amazing keep up this incredible work stepchange Reviewed on: 13th August 2022

Highly recommended

I had problems financially & ended up in debt, with credit card & bank loans mounting. This situation was really worrying & I was so stressed about my situation & didn’t know how to try & resolve the predicament I was in. Then a friend suggested I get help from a charity that helps people with debt management, I did then approach Step Change & they have transformed me life, by helping me manage my finances & gradually pay off my debts in a consistent & manageable way. Since then it’s been 8 years now, & I’m much more careful with money & with step change’s help I haven’t accumulated any further or new debts, which is such a relief. I am extremely grateful & would highly recommend Step change for an award for the amazing work that they are doing. Kind Regards Jay Reviewed on: 13th August 2022
