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

Step change explained everything and showed me the way to an affordable payment plan I could afford & stick with. Excellent customer service. I can't thank them all enough for the help & guidance they offered me. Keep up with the good work. Many thanks Reviewed on: 18th June 2021

Thank you Step Change!*

Before finding out about Step Change my life was so miserable. I constantly worried about my horrendous debts and couldn't sleep at night, due to turning things over and over in my head. I was terrified about what my husband would say, if he found out what was going on. He already had health problems and I feared hearing about how much I owed would only make him worse. I knew nothing about my options and genuinly believed, I would be sent to prison. Or bailiffs would turn up and strip the house bare. Thanks to Step Change, I managed to set up a DMP and have now been paying off my debts for the past 2 years. It is such a relief to me and I no longer have the constant worry of how much I owe. Yes, I have to be on a budget to pay my DMP every month. But it is no where near as tough as when I was juggling one credit card after another, just to make the minimum payments every month. The relief is immense, thank you Step Change. Reviewed on: 18th June 2021

A Life Changing Organisation

From the first phone call I made, I have always felt supported and never judged. I've felt such shame around getting into debt but Step Change have been there to help me on my journey. I don't feel alone in it anymore and after a debt management plan was put in place I felt a weight lifted off me. I now feel more positive about the future and my finances. Thank you Step Change!
