I felt like there was no light at the end of the tunnel

I was inundated with debts from quick loans, unpaid overdrafts and credit cards during a long period of unemployment, but using StepChange has helped me recover, slowly but surely. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone who feels there's no light at the end of the tunnel. Now that I'm working, I can increase my repayments! Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Stepchange made all the difference for me.

5
As a debtor attempting to cope with creditors and stress at a difficult time in my life Stepchange made all the difference. The well structured procedures of this experienced charity are clearly well respected by creditors generally so inspire confidence, and provide time and space to manage and achieve a better outcome. Their support and individual attention to my circumstances exceeded expectations and enabled me to find a way through my difficulties, first by advice, then through a debt management plan and finally through their settlement service. I could not have coped without their help. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

I got myself in debt I reached out to Step change. I have had nothing but great advice and service from them Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Great Service

5
The advisors were calm, polite, and genuinely understanding. From the moment the conversation started, they made me feel at ease and reassured me that I wasn’t being judged. What stood out the most was how open they were about their own experiences they even shared personal testimonies about situations they had faced and how debt management had helped them regain control. Hearing their stories made a huge difference. It reminded me that I wasn’t alone in this, and that many others had faced similar struggles and come through them successfully. Their empathy and honesty helped break down the stigma around financial difficulty and encouraged me to be honest about my own situation. It truly made me feel that it was okay to ask for help, and that support was available without shame or pressure. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025
