Changed my life

StepChange has helped me turn me life around, I was trapped in the payday loan cycle a couple of years ago and had run up huge credit card bills too. I’m now over half way to being debt free and I would never have been able to do it without their help. Reviewed on: 22nd July 2021

Saved my life

5
I suffered from a mental breakdown and was subsequently unfairly dismissed on the pretext of redundancy. I was thrown into a terrible state as I had financial commitments I could not meet. Citizens advise put me in touch with Step Change. All options on how to move forward were explored with me. Once we found a way to move forward Step Change took care of everything. We worked out a budget and what I had left to pay my creditors. I make a monthly payment by direct debit and Step Change do everything else for me and they deal with my creditors directly. This has given me the chance to recover from my illness and I am now seeking employment. It is not an exaggeration to say they saved my life. The people they employ are so well trained and seemed to understand the difficulties I was facing and they were so supportive. I receive regular emails on how to save and prepare for a rainy day etc. Reviewed on: 22nd July 2021

In control of my debt

5
After my income dropped by a large amount, I was really struggling to cope with my outgoings. Life was becoming very difficult and stressful. From the first time I contacted StepChange, it was such a relief; a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders. In a few months, my debt plan will come to an end and I couldn’t be more grateful to StepChange. Reviewed on: 22nd July 2021
