Don’t be afraid to make that first call to stepchange

Step change helped me see the light at the end of a very dark tunnel. The relief I felt the day I picked up the phone was unbelievable. I dreaded making the call but it was single handedly the best decision I’ve ever made. I’ve still got a long way to go to be debt free but I can sleep easy again and don’t dread the front door knocking or the phone ringing. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

I was struggling with managing to pay my debts and I turned to Stepchange to help me find the best solution. At first I felt embarrassed at my situation but the lady who answered my call was very caring, understanding and reassuring. It wasn't too long before we worked out the best solution for me and I began to feel more positive regarding my situation. It was the most important I made in a long time. I just wish I had done it sooner and saved myself a lot of sleepless nights due to worry and anxiety. Thank you Stepchange Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

We had a debt management scheme with StepChange for approximately 10 years, yes we had a lot of debt. They were so helpful and kind, whatever happened to us, job losses, etc they were able to help us repay our debts, within our own budget. So helpful and informative as well.

Due to long term illness I had to stop working to receive treatment so I needed help to manage my debt..I live in Leicester but my illness is very rare & I get treated in Chelsea hospital London so I had to prioritise being able to afford to get to my appointments & surgery’s. The advise & help I received was Excellent, I was very surprised how much help & guidance was given in a clear & genuine way.. Being in hospital so much having this experience has really helped ease my mind that I am able to manage everything & not worry & be so anxious about it anymore. It has been a great help both financially & to my well being Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

StepChange helped to change my life

StepChange helped to change my life for the better and I will be forever grateful. Being in debt is like sinking slowly into a depth of worry and anxiety, it takes a hold of you and controls every aspect of everyday life. StepChange from start to finish supported me into becoming self aware and financially free of debt. Once you take the first steps you'll be able to take back control and suddenly there is light again, I can not recommend this service enough. Thank you StepChange. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024
