Excellent from the very first step made me feel so at ease Reviewed on: 25th May 2025

Gave me my life back

5
I was in real debt and didn’t think I would ever get out of it. I was getting letters and phone calls threatening me with court. I was recommended to talk to Stepchange. They helped me sort my finances, work out how much I could afford and which would be the best way forward. They wrote to all my creditors with a plan and the chasing stopped almost immediately. This gave me breathing space and helped me take control of my depression. I am now only months away from being debt free and a life of financial control all thanks to Stepchange.

Gave me my confidence back.

Gave me my confidence back. Before I spoke to StepChange, its was so hard to manage ny finances and operate a healthy wellbeing. Stress and anxiety features heavily. From the first session, it was almost as if some turned the positivity dial up, and I could feel my life getting back on track and my stress levels dropping. The support and simplicity of managing a Debt management plan, is incredible. Such a great experience, and I highly recommend anyone struggling to manage their finances, who are feeling hopeless, there is hope and it’s so each to take that first step.
