No way out?? Yes there is.

I was lost, drowning in debt with no way out. Once I contacted step change the advisor was a friendly ear and helped me both emotionally and financially. I felt shame and anger at myself for letting my situation get the better of me. Now I’m debt free having paid all my creditors back everything I owed. Step change were able to stop more interest being added to my debts and sorted a payment plan out for me and became the intermediary between my creditors and me. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

StepChange Saved the Day!!

5
My debts were spiralling out of control, particularly with the addition of high interest rates. I didn’t know which way to turn and then thankfully I heard about StepChange. They were absolutely invaluable with their help in working out a realistic payment plan for me with the debtors. It was such a relief to be able to talk to someone about it as I hadn’t told family or friends about my situation. I was working more than full-time hours but struggling to keep my head above water, just to pay for basic living costs. They were very understanding. I will be eternally grateful to them and highly recommend their services! Reviewed on: 1st May 2024
