Stepchange made me able to breathe again after suffocating with my debt

5
I woke up one morning with that dreaded feeling of my phone going off constantly all day AGAIN being hounded by debt collectors. I couldn't cope much longer and felt like I was suffocating with this debt. I couldn't keep up with the payments, my health deteriorated quickly and severely and i couldn't see a way out. My GP recommended i speak to Stepchange and they were amazing , helped me from that very first phone call , set me up on my DMP so I could make affordable payments to creditors. The phone calls from my creditors stopped and now I just make my monthly payment to stepchange who divide it between creditors and I am so much happier and feel like I can breathe again. Anyone struggling with debt needs to deal with Stepchange. Their customer service has always been spot on and always so helpful when you call for advice. Reviewed on: 9th July 2020

Sanctuary and Clarity

5
From my first correspondence with StepChange which was a call for help, advice, and support with my troubling financial situation, to the regular monthly support and guidance I am receiving now during these made further difficult times during the pandemic, I have felt less and less fearful and snow blind seeking reasonable solutions to my debt crisis. Feeling ever more in control and confident that I will not only achieve my goal of paying back debts to creditors regaining some dignity and normality again, I appreciate being protected from the stress of dealing with multiple creditors at once by the team and their professionalism. The charities humanitarian approach to problem solving respects individuals in need, result being I feel like a person not a problem to them. Thank you Reviewed on: 9th July 2020

Nobody likes being in Debt!

Having admitted to myself I was out of control with my debt and had to do something about it! I contacted Step Change they were brilliant! I had all the information to hand when I called. Having taken everything into account the told me what I could afford to pay a month, how long it would take for me to clear my debts and any other options that were open to me. I decided on the payment option. They contacted all my creditors with a Debt Management Plan. The plan was swiftly put into place. Apart from a few minor hic ups everything as gone smoothly since.
