StepChange the best decsion you will ever make

5
Things got heavy, covid left me in a pickle salary no longer met my outgoings. sleepless nights worrying about meeting the payments the following month after month. The worry and the shame…A few of the lenders recommended i give Step Change a call., at the start I thought NO, I can do this….but is so difficult. Like swimming in custard. My back was against the wall. I had no other option left. 3 years into our plan an I am so glad I made that call. I have to say that it has not been easy a lot of sacrifices had to be made, and we continue to do so. But these have trained us to be smarter, budget much better. As its sits we stand to be debt free (bar mortgage and a wee car) in May 2026. Looking back now and looking ahead makes me quite emotional. Stepchange are a game changer. Don’t wait a minute longer to make the call. The staff are so understanding and helpful. This will be the best decison you have ever made. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

I was at an all low after having a brain haemorrhage, couldn't work, was embarrassed about my situation and was recommended by my creditors to get in touch with stepchange and they saved my circumstances and now I breathe, the stress has been removed and my debt is going down. Great company, compassionate staff and easy to deal with once you take the step and call them. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

The Step Change website is very easy to navigate and the detail needed to be entered to get advise are very easy to follow. In my case a debt management plan was advised and the setup and monthly management of this has been seamless and stress free. When I have had to speak to SC they have been very friendly and understanding everytime. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

StepChange the way to get your life back on track.

I was drowning in debt and was so stressed about it not knowing how to deal with it. once I built up enough courage to make that initial call I felt the weight of the world had been lifted. I didn’t feel judged and they gave me a clear plan on how to make a realistic debt management plan. Ten years on I have changed the way I spend money by ensuring I pay in cash that I have saved instead of using credit with the high interest rates. The valuable information and support I received from StepChange I now share with friends and family who may be heading in the same direction I was going prior to taking control of my debt.

What would I do without StepChange its a question I find asking myself quite often. To the brink of dispair to hope is how I would describe the work they do. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025
