They are the people to go to when you’re losing control of your finances. The process was easy and they dealt with everything. I made my payment each month for four years and watched the balances go down bit by bit until they were clear. Along the way I learned to live within my means and have now started to save the money I used to pay them every month. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

I had never been in debt until I finished work and my income was my pension. I became overwhelmed with my situation and absolutely did not know where to turn. My mental health was badly impacted by the situation. Stepchange was suggested to me. I contacted them and recieved non judgemental support with several options explained to me. There was a period of " breathing space" which did enable me to breathe for the first time in months. A programme was agreed and the StepChange contacted the companies involved and obtained a payment plan. It took me 3 years to clear my debts and StepChange supported me throughout. I dont say this lightly StepChange saved my life Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025
