StepChange is a lifesaver

I got the wonderful news I was pregnant after experiencing 2 miscarriages and this should have been the happiest news of my life but I was focused on how I would pay my debts. I had been self-employed for a while and had just landed a contract during the end of the first pandemic so was eligible for any support from my employer: Thankful, StepChange helped me organise my income and got me onto a debt management plan so that I could put my energy towards preparing for my little one. They’ve given me the security I needed to feel safe during this time by liaising with my creditors. The staff are always so friendly and honest. Thank you StepChange! From, A happy customer.

Supportive, reassuring, life changing

After losing my job I was faced with unaffordable debt and my home being at risk. Thanks to the incredible support and advice from Step Change, I’ve been able to continue paying off my debt at an affordable rate. They’ve been superb. Reviewed on: 18th June 2021

This wonderful caring problem solving company saved my life literally

Had the letters written out to children . Tablets ready . Note to pin on door to ring Police Do not Enter . My son came home early he just had a feeling to go home . Lots of emotion he immediately rang Stepchange . What had set me off that particular day . A letter from a credit card company after I had asked them to freeze the interest or reduce it the letter stated they were going to put it up to 68% yet I had never missed a payment . I had other debts mainly from paying for private Neurophysiotherapy to try to walk again after being paralysed during a Breast Cancer Op . Surgeons temper at not being able to do it his way . He flipped me too fast and I fell down side of table still attached to breathing tube . From 8/10/2008 I was paralysed on my own with a young family to manage . I was 42 . This day in 2017 I had used all my DLA living Allowance every month to pay one card then use that one to pay another . There was no escape . I felt worthless and a burden and so so tired of checking a bank Account maybe 3 times a day whilst laying flat in bed panicking . I’m only saying this for you to realise the depths of despair I had sunk to . I cried throughout the conversation with Matt from Stepchange. He had the patience of a Saint .He promised a so,Union would be found after going through the first basic details . I also acknowledged this was my debt but they weren’t playing fair these credit card companies. I had written to them to say I had been diagnosed as a high risk suicude meant nothing to them . That night I slept . Even usually with Morphine and Fentanyl and anti anxiety and sleeping tablets I had Insomnia for years until that night . I am here . I am alive . My first words every day are Thank you Stepchange . For enabling me to see my Grandson grow these past few years I have never missed a payment . I have increased the payment amount every year by getting better deals . All the staff I dealt with mainly by email helped me, explained computer generated letters and said refer anything to them to deal with . They realised how fragile I was clinging on . I can only say a Thank you which seems inadequate but also to spread the word . I thought I wouldn’t be able to do this review but it makes me realise how far I have come and what fantastic help they give so many people desperate to be listened to. Reviewed on: 18th June 2021
