When you cannot sleep at night because you do not know how to get out of sinking debt, be brave and call Step change who will guide through the rough to sleeping again, I DID. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

They are extra friendly & make you feel extremely comfortable. I was in a terrible financial situation & they sorted my repayments within a couple of weeks. The lady that helped me was Becky who was amazing Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025

Lifesavers

I was struggling with huge debts and owed far more in monthly payments than my wages covered. I was considering bankruptcy after ignoring the issue for a long time. I was guided to contact Stepchange and this was the first time I had hope that my nightmare was over. It felt like a good friend helping me battle the debt collectors and giving me the breathing space I desperately needed. One simple (and more importantly realistic and affordable) payment each month and the rest is all done for you. A yearly appraisal of my budget and if necessary occasional holiday payment pauses. I could finally sleep at night and have the money to pay my bills and still enjoy life. It took me 9 years to clear nearly £20k of debt, but I am now free from it all. I have a really healthy credit score, but more importantly I now manage my debts much more responsibly. I cannot thank this charity enough for saving me from the worst days of my life.

The best decision I’ve made!

I was told about Step Change by my friend and in all honesty it was the best decision I’ve made. The process was straightforward and when I have had to call to give some more information everyone was so patient and helpful. I couldn’t recommend them enough. It has made life so much easier. Thank you Step Change Reviewed on: 23rd May 2025
