I was desperate

I was so depressed about my debt, I was having trouble sleeping, my brain was constantly anxious. And just speaking with them, took some of the stress away. Once my DAS was arranged I could breath again, it was such a relief. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Five years on

I was first put in touch with stepchange in August 2020 holding 78000.00 of debt on credit cards. The interest on 18 cards had surpassed my income for many months and my life was not a life at all . Once stepchange were involved I really did get a life back once the letters and calls stopped and I was able to keep in touch with stepchange on a regular basis . I still have a way to go but with stepchange help I have no worries or sleepless nights any more . Couldn’t possibly thank them enough , I’ll be forever grateful, thank you .

My lifeline

I contacted them in 2007 with a debt of £143k,I was panic stricken. The calmed me down assured me it could be sorted and gave me the confidence to do it. My debt is now £10k. It as a relief to get my creditors off my back with no more interest added on, or the bailiffs calling round. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

StepChange helped me pay off nearly £20,000.

StepChange helped me pay off nearly £20,000 in credit card debts in a little just over 5 years. If I had any problems, I could use their tools on their website to help me budget, and when my finances changed, I phoned them and let them know so that my payments could be adjusted accordingly. It has been a huge weight lifted off my shoulders that I am now debt free, and I couldn't recommend using them highly enough. It 'can' be done. You 'can' be debt free. All it takes is a little honesty and a little help. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025
