I was at rock bottom.

5
Like most people, I was at rock bottom when I reached out to stepchange. Bottom rung of the ladder, knee deep in debt and sinking fast. The first person I spoke to was so reassuring, letting me know that I'd done the hardest bit and accepted I was in need of help. Through the calm approach of the voice at the other end of the phone, that showed no sign of derision in my failure to manage my finances. A plan that suited me (there are several debt options available)was put in place with a clear goal of how to repay everything and more importantly. My debt free date. Covid added a few unforseen issues into the mix, but once again a phone call to a working from home advisor sorted everything out. I have been debt free now for nearly a year and the relief is fantastic. Knowing that I did it is an incredible feeling. Don't get me wrong, it was hard work. Bloody hard work and it took 7 long years. But those 7 long years were a valuable learning experience. If you're struggling with debt, please take this one piece of advice and get in touch with them. They are amazing people Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

After watching hours of debt management videos on YouTube I decided to get control of my problems. StepChange helped me get it over the line and reduced my stress by dealing directly with the card companies Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Thanks to Step Change I was able to start sleeping again. They are very understanding, not in the least bit judgemental; very thankful I found the courage to pick up the phone and talk to them. I have since suggested step-change to acquaintances also struggling with debt. They are a wonderfully supportive organisation, they have been helping me for the past 5 years and I am very appreciative of their help. Contacting step-change removed a massive weight of my shoulders and has given me peace of mind. Stop worrying about debt, do something positive and talk to the experts in debt management, I cannot thank them enough. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025
