After I had an operation to remove a cancer tumour I had to take time off work and was only getting statutory sick pay and could afford to pay my debts, I telephoned Step Change and got the help I needed, so I could carry on with my chemotherapy after the operation, so I didn’t have to worry or stress about my debts.

Stepchange have really helped us.

Stepchange have really helped us. It was so hard before and we felt really overwhelmed. It’s such a relief now having someone else managing it for us. All that stress has been taken away. It definitely feels like a weight has been lifted and we’re on our way to becoming debt free. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Debts consolidated but DMP isn’t much less

3
Working with StepChange has been pretty good. Updating my monthly outgoing and change of debt information is a breeze. The only negative is around having a Debt Management Plan. The DMP hasn’t really left me any better off each month. At most I roughly pay £100-£200 less than I was paying and my disposable income feels so small that I can’t go on holidays and can barely save any money towards my emergency fund as all of it is going towards my debts, groceries and car upkeep. I wish companies like this also provided preparation advice for managing other outgoings whilst on a DMP. I think Christian’s against poverty provide such a service. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025
