I was in a very dark place and swamped with debt .

I was in a very dark place and swamped with debt .I tried talking to my bank but the experience was very negative and I felt humiliated and distraught.A family member persuaded me to approach , step change which I felt at the time would make me feel like a total failure .how wrong I was the experience was really easy and I spoke to staff who were totally helpful.non judgemental ,friendly and understanding .The sense of relief I felt knowing there was a way to survive was beyond my dreams .I took on a debt management plan that was affordable and gave me back control.i could live with a realistic budget. I only have 8 more payments until I am debt free .I cannot rate steochange highly enough they literally saved my life .things had got that bad Reviewed on: 1st 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
