I believe Step Change saved me. I was struggling to keep my head above water and there seemed to be no way out but Stepchange helped me so much. If your struggling then please make contact with them. Reviewed on: 24th May 2025

Lifesavers!

StepChange helped me see light at the end of the tunnel where previously there had been none. My debts had spiralled through my own stupidity and I couldn't see any clear way forward. The staff at StepChange were non-judgemental and helped me deliver a plan accepted by my creditors. It's going to be five years before my debts are cleared, but I sleep better knowing that I'm not going to get any threatening letters or callers. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Step change helped me see the light at the end of a very dark tunnel. The relief I felt the day I picked up the phone was unbelievable. I dreaded making the call but it was single handedly the best decision I’ve ever made. I’ve still got a long way to go to be debt free but I can sleep easy again and don’t dread the front door knocking or the phone ringing. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

I was struggling with managing to pay my debts and I turned to Stepchange to help me find the best solution. At first I felt embarrassed at my situation but the lady who answered my call was very caring, understanding and reassuring. It wasn't too long before we worked out the best solution for me and I began to feel more positive regarding my situation. It was the most important I made in a long time. I just wish I had done it sooner and saved myself a lot of sleepless nights due to worry and anxiety. Thank you Stepchange Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

We had a debt management scheme with StepChange for approximately 10 years, yes we had a lot of debt. They were so helpful and kind, whatever happened to us, job losses, etc they were able to help us repay our debts, within our own budget. So helpful and informative as well.
