They got me out of catalog debt trap

I had £7k debt across several catalog companies and the interest was crippling. StepChange were calm, kind and never judged me. They explained all my options and set up a Debt Management Plan. My creditors have frozen interest and I now pay one affordable amount each month. The phone calls and letters have stopped. If you’re lying awake worrying about catalog or store card debt, call them. It’s free and they actually care. Reviewed on: 8th May 2026

Stepchange. Life savers for me.

I turned to Stepchange 3-4 years ago when I was at my wits end with escalating interest on my outstanding debt. I had serious health issues, mobility and mentally. I was in a deep depression, knowing there was no way out, and I started having really bad thoughts. I was introduced to Stepchange and given a genuine lifeline, where they assured me "Not to worry, things will be fine" and sure enough I pay a small amount each month and started to believe I could get through this. I still worry but nothing like I had done in the past. I still have a marriage and a life, which is down to Stepchange. My advice is don't be alone in debt and seek help. Reviewed on: 8th May 2026

Discovering Stepchange was life-changing.

Discovering Stepchange was life-changing. Lost earnings during lockdown meant I couldn't keep up with credit card payments and then interest piled on making it completely unmanageable. Step change gave me advice, got all interest frozen and helped me set up an affordable repayment plan. I can't recommend highly enough. Reviewed on: 8th May 2026
