Job change due to COVID - drop in pay - needed help!

5
I moved jobs due to COVID and the drop in pay meant I struggled to keep on top of my payments. As a single parent, working full-time I realised I needed help, and was so grateful to have found StepChange. The team were so understanding, non-judgemental and offered excellent support and guidance. I felt heard and safe for the first time in a long time. Over the last 5 years, I've sped the payments along... simple to try and clear it more quickly. Whenever I managed to sell something on Facebook Marketplace, or eBay or the occasional car boot sale - every penny was just transferred via bank transfer to StepChange and it came off the bills. I use their Online DMP website to track how much I have left to pay. With. about 4 months left before I'm debt free, i can't recommend them enough to anyone in a similar situation. What an amazing organisation. Reviewed on: 25th May 2025

Easing the burden.

5
After getting myself into trouble with money I was on the verge of declaring bankruptcy,which I didn’t want to do. At the time there were many adverts on the television about reducing your debt burden with different companies. When I looked into it I found out that a lot of the money I was going to pay them was their fees with only a small amount going towards my creditors. I then found out about Stepchange either through a TV program or listening to Moneybox on Radio 4.I contacted Stepchange,I will admit to being nervous as I thought I would be in for a bit of a telling off for getting myself into such debt. The person who I spoke with then wasn’t in anyway judgemental,he explained how it all worked and he went through my expenditure with me. I have had the same experience with each member of staff who work at Stepchange,extremely helpful, nonjudgmental and kind. With their help sorting out my finances it took a lot of weight off my shoulders . I believe that my creditors hold them in high regard as they know they are dealing with honest people working to help the debtor and the creditors. If you are in trouble with your finances I couldn’t think of a better organisation to help and guide you to solving your money problems. Reviewed on: 25th May 2025
