I simply wouldn't have been able to do it without them. From start to finish they have been there every step of the way. From doing the budget planner where it gives you an idea if you spend more or less than average to checking up on me to review my plan to make sure it is still affordable. Reviewed on: 28th May 2026

Breathing Through Finances

I cannot thank StepChange enough for the support they have provided during one of the most difficult periods of my life. Since entering my Debt Management Plan in 2023, they have treated me with understanding, professionalism and without judgment. During a time where I was dealing with overwhelming financial pressure alongside personal circumstances, including ongoing divorce proceedings, StepChange helped bring structure and stability back into my finances. Their advisers have always been patient, supportive and clear in explaining my options, which helped reduce a huge amount of stress and anxiety. The DMP allowed me to take control of my situation, stop spiralling financially and begin focusing on maintaining sustainable payments for my family and future. What stood out most was that I never felt pressured or looked down upon. Every interaction felt supportive and genuinely focused on helping me improve my situation long term. I would highly recommend StepChange to anyone struggling with debt or financial stress. Reaching out to them was one of the best financial decisions I made during a very challenging time.
