Stepchange gave me life and hope!

5
I contacted Stepchange in 2019, as recommended by The Citizens Advice Bureau, I was medically retired from the Civil Service, so one day i was on a high salary with a Mortgage, Personal Car Plan and loads of Credit Cards. The following day i had nothing but debts. I put most of my retirement money in to my mortgage, as I was scared of losing my home! The rest went to buy my car from the plan. After that were all of my Credit Cards, which were no problem when i was employed, but now i could see a point where they would become unmanageable. I had to wait for ages to find out what benefits i could claim, as i had no other income. I worked out my total debt and it was nearly £62,000... still the remaining mortgage and the cards, which were being used constantly, as it was taking so long to obtain my benefits, with no other income. Finally, Stepchange literally changed my life. Now, in 2025, i feel so good about my debts, as they are now £38,000. I have achieved a massive reduction and i know many people who owe similar amounts, simply as part of life! It only took me just under 6 years to achieve this and i can see the end of the tunnel. Thank you Stepchange! Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

When you find yourself in an awful, 'nowhere to turn' situation, I can't praise StepChange enough for the help they gave us, straight from the first contact.

Peace of Mind

I had spoken to another debt management service and their fees were frightening. My sister recommended StepChange to me and it was an easy online application. I gave all the detailed relevant information and they came back with a plan for my situation. It has helped me reorganise my expenditure and taken away a huge amount of stress.
