From a feeling of deep despair to satisfaction

5
COVID sunk our finances into a deep hole of despair- the kind and helpful personal assistance from Stepchange assistants helped us work out a budget and presented us with a plan of action. Not only did this help us with peace of mind but for the first time in a long time we felt back in control. Over time there were considerate and helpful articles sent via email to help us with adjustments to our thinking and thus our spending habits. What seemed like an insurmountable task has now became a source of satisfaction as we watch the numbers slowly ebbing away. Reviewed on: 25th May 2025

From £40k debts to zero

5
StepChange helped me go from debts in excess of £40k to a present with zero debts. They were supportive throughout the journey, answering any questions I had. Yes, it took a number of years, but without their help I would still be drowning in ever increasing debt. I would highly recommend StepChange. Reviewed on: 25th May 2025

I was in a terrible way when I first spoke to step change. My wife and I had just separated, I had an incredible amount of debt and I didn’t know where to turn. They calmly and kindly sat with me and helped me through the situation and I am now on a plan that has helped level me out and start to plan for the future. Reviewed on: 25th May 2025
