Step Change changed everything for my future

5
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

From anxiety to Calmness

5
My world felt like it was caving in when my debts were piling up and I didn’t want to default on any of them. It got to a point that after paying my rent and bills all of my money was used to cover debt and I had to do little borrowing from friends. When Step Change took charge there was calmness that was introduced to my life. Reviewed on: 25th May 2025

Breathe again

5
After my marriage ended my biggest worry was the £8.500 dept I was left to pay and sort out with only my basic pension to live on. So after seeing an advert I contacted deptfree direct. They were extremely helpful and made no judgement. I was offered a payment plan within my budget. The phone calls an letters from creditors stopped immediately. I could breathe again. All thanks to deptfree direct. Reviewed on: 25th May 2025

Engaging with step change is the best decision I made to finally address my debts. They were clear with all choices available and the impact this would have on myself so I could choose the best option. They then fully liaised with the companies to set this up and agree it, I just pay them one sum each month and they sort the rest. Regular reviews of my finances mean that this payment can be adjusted to be affordable. Thank you. Reviewed on: 25th May 2025
