Debt Management Plan - can see an end

5
I have been on a Debt Management Plan with StepChange for 6 months. I’d reached a point where I was paying a large amount every month towards credit card debts, but not actually paying much off the balance and I felt overwhelmed that I would be in debt forever. I looked into options for debt consolidation but then found StepChange and saw that they could help implement a plan which would leave me debt free in the near future. I didn’t want to speak on the phone so I completed a budget online which was easy and provided creditors details. StepChange then contacted everyone for me and agreed the plan. I feel like I am actually paying off debts now and can see balances going down which is a weight lifted for me Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

The best!

I joined stepchange in Jan 2020 during Covid to try and get in top of my bills, and they have helped me sort my life out and get on track! They are all ways supportive I have never felt judged and they do not pressure you to commit to high monthly payments, only what you can afford. I am due to finish my plan in Feb 2026 and have learned my lesson! 10/10 company Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

My business failed (through no fault) and step change were there to give me shelter from the deluge of demands and threats that I received. I don't think that mentally I would have made it out of the other side without them. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Best thing I ever did out of debt for the 1st time in years easy to do and staff so helpful recommend step change to anyone Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Undoubtedly, the best help available.

I was literally suicidal at times until I discovered step change who basically took charge of everything for me all in one affordable monthly payment meaning I didn’t have to have pretty much any contact with any of my creditors/debters. I pay a direct debit each month to StepChange who distribute it amongst all my outstanding debt and I don’t have to deal with anyone except them. I have had a month or 2 in the past 3 years where I couldn’t pay for that specific month so they paused my direct debit and I didn’t hear from any of my creditors and resumed as normal the following month after being told to inform my creditors but also ignore correspondence as it would be sorted, which it was by the wonderful people that work for StepChange. I can’t thank you all enough ever. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025
