Chasing Away The Debt Monster

5
Following my partner being struck down by a serious illness, from which she is still recovering, we ended up on State benefits and were no longer able to service our credit card debts. We struggled on for a year but, because of the compound interest applied to the debts, we were eventually in the position where the banks took more than half our monthly income and we were in a really bad financial position. That is when we approached SteChange. They helped us to set a realistic pay-back target (very modest) and dealt with all the admin. on our behalf. We are still some way from being clear of debt but the frightening interest charges have ceased, we have enough to pay for rent, food and utiltiies. Most importanly of all - they have removed the fear in which we were living. We can now see a way out. My partner's illness is still a major challenge but at least one massive weight has been lifted from us. Reviewed on: 24th May 2025
