A lifeline when I needed it most!

I cannot recommend StepChange highly enough. Earlier this year I found myself in an incredibly vulnerable and overwhelming position, facing £80,000 of debt that felt completely unmanageable. From the very first contact, the team were compassionate, non-judgmental, and genuinely caring — exactly what you need when you're at such a low point. They set me up with a Debt Management Plan that turned what felt like an insurmountable burden into affordable, structured monthly payments I can actually keep on top of. What struck me most was how effortless the whole process felt — they handled everything with real professionalism and made sure I understood every step along the way, without ever making me feel rushed or embarrassed. If you're struggling with debt and don't know where to turn, please reach out to StepChange. They gave me breathing space I didn't think was possible, and for that I'm truly grateful.

We were at our wits end after I had to give up and looked after my sick wife, empty promises of help were not there and finacies started to spin out of control, we discovered step change and they were so helpful and made us feel at ease not embarrassed about our situation, everything was consolidated into monthly payments which removed so much pressure... Thank you step change. Reviewed on: 1st June 2026

Very helpful and understanding at a difficult time.

Very helpful and understanding at a difficult time. I did find it hard at first to do it online. byt there was very professional advice from your staff and reassurance every time I spoke to a member of your team. My account was worked out that I could afford the repayments offered to me. This gave me peace of mind in these challenging times that I was facing with debt incurred over a period of a few years. I honestly couldn’t see an end to paying the debt off. The advice and help I received was such a relief as having only my pension as my income. Thank you for listening and not judging me. I found it a very hard time financially and I was ashamed of getting into this position. Your staff assured me it would be resolved with the best outcome to get my money back on track and live within my limitations. I cannot thank you enough to be able to pay a manageable amount each month and stop the worry of arrears letters being sent to me. Your company are professional and caring making sure they treat each individual with care and understanding and resolve the problem with compassion and honesty. Reviewed on: 1st June 2026
