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

remove the worry!

When having to close my company due to ill health I was left with debts that I couldnt pay as I no longer had a salary. I had massive anxiety and couldnt sleep with the worry. Stepchange helped me to find a way forward with a Debt Management Plan. It was a huge relief to have them on my side and at last I could sleep at nights. Reviewed on: 13th August 2022

I can breath again

I simply felt like we were drowning. Due to illness I could no longer work full time and my husband started to care for me more & more meaning he also couldn't work full time. Step Change make us feel like we can breath again plus they don't charge a fee or take a percentage. Reviewed on: 13th August 2022
