I found myself in a terrible financial situation aft...

I found myself in a terrible financial situation after being scammed out of over £100,000 which I had taken as equity release. I could not fulfil all my financial commitments and was in despair. I was recommended to contact StepChange by Citizens Advice. They did not judge me and helped me to collate my debts and presented my situation to all my debtors. By doing so a plan was put in place after my living expenses were deducted. This enabled me to start paying off my debts with a plan in place and moreover they were instrumental in dealing directly with all my debtors. They are also a charity so do not charge fees.

Step change have made such a difference to my life

Step change have made such a difference to my life. Fab support to get me back on track and face up to what wasn't going away and became out of control. Wished I had picked up the phone so much sooner to address my debt. I was never made to feel the bad person I thought I was for getting into such a rutt. The support I received from the very first call was excellent. Process was very straight forward, advice was clear and informative. Felt fully supported and can't thank step change for taking away so much stress enough. Since been on the plan I am back in control and managing well with the plan I have in place. To get 5 star support in a non judgemental and supportive service contact step change honestly the make such a difference. Don't be like me and regret not contacting them sooner. Highly recommend service. Thank you Reviewed on: 18th May 2026

A friendly ear when i needed it most.

A friendly ear when i needed it most. Stepchange contacted my creditors and negotiated the plan which is what i had dreaded the most. The peace of mind i now have is wonderful and i am paying an amount i can afford Reviewed on: 18th May 2026

So glad to have Stepchange beside me!

Where to start. Every representative who answers my every call was so helpful, calm and very supportive. They allowed me to be vulnerable, cry my eyes out and gave me an ear to talk about my circumstances unrelated to debt. I’m so happy that I will be supported right up until I’m debt free. One of my favourite charities. Also, the online portal is fab! Easy to use, organised which makes it visually pleasing as well as straightforward. Reviewed on: 18th May 2026

Stet Change Saved My Mental Health

When I came to StepChange a few years ago, I was in desperate need of help with my finances. Debt collectors were calling daily, and I didn't know where to turn. I tried using Citizens Advice, but found the process lengthy, requiring multiple visits with a folder full of letters. I discovered StepChange Debt Charity through the MoneySavingExpert website and decided to give them a call. After speaking with a very helpful advisor, I ended the call feeling a real sense of relief, a heavy weight lifted from my shoulders. If your are in a situation with your debts and not sure what to do, I encourage you to call StepChange Debt Charity. Reviewed on: 18th May 2026
