I was in a financially critical position and being hassled by companies and my bank, plus rent arrears. It was becoming extremely detrimental to my mental health, exacerbating my PTSD and inducing suicidal thoughts. Contacting Step Change was a godsend, I felt the pressure lift off my shoulders almost immediatly. Reviewed on: 2nd May 2024

My lifeline

5
StepChange were non judgemental when I made contact and I felt I could discuss my debt in confidence.. StepChangee were my advocate and negotiated with my creditors a regular monthly payments that I could maintain.. Yearly reviews of my finances and an end date to be debt free helped motivate me to keep my payments up. Every time a payment was taken I felt relief. I knew there was also emotional and practical support if I needed it by just calling the advisor.. Reviewed on: 2nd May 2024

I was in a difficult situation Financially because of the pandemic and Step Change have helped me without them I don’t know where I’d be today So I can’t thank them enough, and I highly recommend them to anyone in financial difficulties Reviewed on: 2nd May 2024

Overwhelmed with debt.

5
I was overwhelmed with debt and the interest being added to it every month meant it was going to take forever to pay it all off. Enter Stepchange, who took the weight off my shoulders, organised a repayment schedule with all my creditors and, most importantly, stopped the interest being added to my debt. I was debt free after 2-3 years of repayments and again able to rebuild my credit rating. Don't even think about using Stepchange, just DO IT!. Reviewed on: 2nd May 2024

One payment instead of 4 is so much easier. They only ask for money you have spare to pay off your debts. Reviewed on: 2nd May 2024
