Stepchange has genuinely been lifesaving for me.

5
Stepchange has genuinely been lifesaving for me. I’ve gone from drowning in debt, barely managing as a single mum, to now counting down to only 5 more months and being debt free. I started my journey in 2021 and initially with a small amount monthly but then slowly building that up through the years with every promotion or pay rise. The staff at Stepchange have always been very helpful and kind. They take the embarrassment factor out of being in debt. It has truly changed my life to where I’m actually saving to buy my house.

Getting my life back

I was at the end of my mind not knowing how to cope with my debt and contacted Step Change who helped me instantly to get back on track. Reviewed on: 24th May 2025

Honestly StepChange gave me my life back.

5
Honestly StepChange gave me my life back. Before applying I had multiple debts often with no idea how much I needed to pay each month, everything was overwhelming and I had no idea how to keep on top of things but thankfully a friend told me about StepChange and honestly I was a bit hesitant at first but it was the best thing I could have done, once I gave my budget and explained all the debt I had they were able to consolidate it in one way more affordable payment which that alone eased my mind greatly as I finally knew how much I was actually paying each month and could effectively budget around it again, they also reduce stress by sorting out any change in creditors without you needing to do anything. I have been with StepChange for just over a year and my quality of life has improved so much so if you’re struggling with debt I can only whole heartedly recommend StepChange !
