StepChange Changed My Life!

5
StepChange literally changed my life. I was in a lot of debt and in a very bad place. StepChange enabled me to rebuild my life and give my family the standard of living that I should be able to give them. This charity will 100% be saving lives and preventing significant mental health issues, I cannot imagine the spiral I would be in now had I not approached StepChange. I had to choose to seek help, which I had avoided for fear of stigma and for the process being too hard, but it was very straightforward and the weight that was lifted immediately enabled me to start thinking clearly and get out of the hole I was in. There was no stigma and, although to start with I was very secretive about my position, I have been more than open with others about StepChange as I feel many people hide debt away as I was doing and, in my opinion, money worries are the biggest cause of stress and stress has significant links to a shorter life. Thank you StepChange, what you do is amazing and life changing. Reviewed on: 24th May 2025

CHANGED MY LIFE

5
I was in a desperate state with dept contemplating terrible things. I had thought about calling stepchange but was too embarrassed by the situation I had let myself get to with debt. I'm so glad I picked up that phone! It was answered by a wonderful lady who reassured me throught my tears and anxiety that she was here to help and to try to get things better for me to manage. We talked through all my dept and she sent some forms to complete. Within a few weeks my dept management plan was in place. I set up my direct debit to stepchange and they distributed to my debtors. Please , please do it if you need to as stepchange changed my life. Reviewed on: 24th May 2025
