Help with my overspending and debts

5
I had accumulated unsecured debts over the course of several years because I hadn't made a budget, and was consistently spending more than I earned. Although I had not yet fallen into arrears, my monthly repayments on various debts were taking a larger and larger percent of my monthly income. I approached StepChange for help. The first thing they did was help me make a budget, which helped me see where I was overspending. Then they put together a debt management plan, and approached my creditors to arrange a payment plan. Now my monthly payments are (just about) manageable, I am living within my earnings, and I have a target date for when I will be debt free. Reviewed on: 6th June 2025
