When I had to give up nursing when the pandemic hit, I was in dire straits as I had been using my credit cards quite a lot. My income fell by 2/3rds, and my bank suggested I contact Stepchange. They helped me to prioritise my finances, reduce my outgoings and pay a little each month to pay off my credit cards. The people I spoke to at Stepchangewere empathic, non-judgemental and offered the advice I needed to make the change from not being able to see way out of my debt, to handling it and not having to worry about it so much. Each year we do a review and make sure I am still able to afford the payments. Reviewed on: 8th June 2025

I was distraught about my huge debt and in a very dark place. I felt overwhelmed and also embarrassed that things had got so bad. I never meant to borrow more than I could afford to pay back. But my circumstances in life changed and I tried to manage it myself until I couldn’t see a way out. Stepchange helped me work out an affordable plan and their customer advisors are absolutely brilliant. Reviewed on: 8th June 2025

I’ve had nothing but a positive experience with StepChange, it provided instant relief to a highly anxious period of our lives. I couldn’t believe how easy it was, and I liked the fact I could do most of it online myself, however there is still the support there if needed. Reviewed on: 8th June 2025
