Steps to mindful financial management

Step Change provided informative and easily accessible financial management support, at a time when I felt overwhelmed by debt and without any other alternative repayment options. Reviewed on: 9th June 2025

Life saver

I was in terrible debt sleepless nights, stressed and short tempered. I wanted to pay any excess income to the people I owed without a company taking a fee. I am now nearly debt free after 11 years. Stepchange have been the best support I could ask for. Reviewed on: 12th August 2022

Peace of mind

I wasn't sleeping, already suffering from depression my tablets had to be increased, my partner had got us into 30,000 of debt but just couldn't care less. At my wits end I tried several other debt management services but they all took a percentage, I was already in debt, I needed all the repayments to go towards paying it off. It was called CCCS then, I think I actually cried on the phone when we'd gone through the figures & they said they could help consolidate all the debts , stop the firms hassling me, take the burden off my shoulders. They continue to help me, quite a few years on but I've never felt pressured to pay back more than I can afford, their advice, now as Step Change, has been invaluable. Thank you is not enough, they deserve any awards going! Reviewed on: 12th August 2022
