StepChange saved me from 5 figure debt blackhole

I approached StepChange when I found myself in 5 figure debt with no appealing exit in sight, these people quite simply saved me... I'm 3 years into a DMP now with almost 50% cleared, still a few years to go but there is a light at the end of the proverbial tunnel. Reviewed on: 6th May 2026

5
My experience with StepChange was very positive. They explained everything clearly and made the whole process easy to understand, with no pressure at all. They took the time to review my situation and offered options that suited me. The advisors were kind, patient, and professional. I felt much more in control and reassured after speaking with them. I would definitely recommend their service to anyone struggling with debt. Reviewed on: 6th May 2026

The best thing to do if you feel buried in debt.

5
The best thing to do if you feel buried in debt and cannot see a way out is to get real help - Stepchange provided the forms to help me budget and fully assess my finances and came up with a plan to pay everything off within 4 years, contact all creditors on my behalf and get a plan agreed by all of them. With annual reviews and statements, I'm always up to date and managing everything again. One and a half years into the plan, £16k of debt is down to £9.2k and looking forward to being debt free, an outcome I never thought possible. The staff are friendly, honest and realistic in all their dealings and I can't recommend them highly enough. When I contacted Stepchange and set up a plan my whole perspective changed for the better - it literally changed my life. Reviewed on: 6th May 2026
