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

Life changing

‘Stepchange’ I just wanted to say thank you so much for your valuable help and guidance with handling my debts. I am now six months into paying them off while being on maternity leave and it’s given me more determination to pay it off and wipe the slate clean! Reviewed on: 18th June 2021

They saved my life!

I was at the point where everything felt hopeless and I couldn’t see a way out. The letters where piled high, phone was constantly ringing and the small amount of disposable income I had at the end of each month didn’t come close to the demands of my creditors. Step change helped me put things in perspective, organised my debts and gave me that ‘top cover’ I so badly needed. Step change make the recommendations, but ultimately, I decide which way I wanted to manage my debts. I chose to follow the debt management plan. The calls stopped, letters reduced and my life became liveable again. Here I am, ~13 years later and ~10 months from the completion of my DMP. I am very proud of myself and grateful to Step Change.

worry free

Step change have helped me out of the stressful time I was having just after my partner had passed away. I had been paying my credit card and bank overdraft off regularly for years, until eventually it all caught up for me. I actually still had credit on one of my cards to the tune of £10,000, which I could have used to pay some of the other items off but I decided to take a different STEP. StepChange was recommended to me by a friend, I contacted them and within a few weeks I began to feel confident that StepChange had changed my life for the better.Many Thanks to the team.
