I was a nervous wreck with debts piling up after being made redundant. Stepchange was recommended by a family member and it was the best thing I ever did. They talked me through everything and set up a manageable payment scheme. Reviewed on: 19th May 2024

Help in dark times

StepChange is the sort of organisation that one goes to at what is usually one of the worst times in a person's life, when it feels like your world is crashing down around you. It takes courage to approach them, but they reward that courage with compassion. They look at your circumstances objectively and non-judgementally, and tend to help you arrive at a way forward. The world is a less scary place once you are with them, and although it can take a long time, after a while you start to see a possible future that doesn't involve loss and abject poverty. I will be forever grateful to them for the help they provided and continue to provide. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

I got into a debt management program with step change

I got into a debt management program with step change 6 years ago, after turning my life around from active addiction. Step Change has really helped me in continuing to pay off my debts. Before I started I though what's the point, might as well kill myself. I was so wrong and I am proud of what I have achieved/ Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Excellent service, friendly and helpful.

So much help while i struggled with my cancer.

I have cancer and recently it's been difficult with ops and no longer being able to speak. I missed my review and with the year I've had each time I had it in my head to sort it I was either ill or in hospital. They stopped bugging me when I emailed them. I'm still struggling but feel much happier now knowing they have my back and won't just say do it or leave. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024
