Step Change helped me to take control of my debts, and to take control of my life again.

5
I was over £12,000 in debt when I first contacted StepChange. They clearly explained what was possible and what they could do to help me. They explained the choices available to me and helped me choose the right one based on my situation. At the end of my call, I was no longer overwhelmed with worry or fear about how I would be able to manage my debts. I felt at peace, and also felt a sense of relief. They were always compassionate and understanding, and made me feel like I was talking to a friend. Step Change has helped to turn my life around, and I can finally see a light at the end of my tunnel of debt! Thank you so much. Reviewed on: 11th July 2020

I was desperate, sick, and not coping with life and seriously ready to do something desperate to end it all. Stepchange was my salvation and have been there for me.

My mind at rest.

admitting I was in debt, made me feel a failure. After contacting Step Change, I spoke to a calm kind gentleman. He didn't judge me. He sounded like he really cared and wanted to help me. I have finally managed to budget. I still have 3 years until I am debt free, however I am grateful to Step Change, helping me through a very stressful situation. I can carry on with my life, knowing I am eventually be better off financially, when I have cleared all my debts. Reviewed on: 11th July 2020
