Step change has been invaluable in our debt management

5
Step change helped evaluate all our debts and what action was best suited for us. The biggest step is making that phone call and admitting you’re in need of help. They guided us through our debt management plan and organised affordable payment plans. They keep in touch and can amend our plan if circumstances change which we have done. The relief of finally being in control of our debt as opposed to it controlling us is why I would highly recommend them. There is no shame in reaching out for help. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Their help has been invaluable and has helped me so much. I was so stressed until I bit the bullet and asked for help. I am looking forward to be debt free in 2 more years. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Wonderful support.

My husband and I are at retirement age and prior to this, serious illness meant that our debts got out of control. Through Citizens Advice we made contact with Stepchange and they helped us put a debt management plan together. That was a few years ago and although we still have issues to deal with moving forward, our creditors now leave us alone and Stepchange manage our DMP and deal with any issues. They are a godsend and without them I don’t think I could have carried on. I can now sleep at night and I know that they will help us deal with things in the future and be at our side. As a charity they do not charge any fees like some other companies that hard sell. All they need is honesty from you nothing else. All of our monthly payments go to the creditors. We couldn’t recommend them strongly enough. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Struggling to survive after leaving husband

5
After leaving my husband and having to start again from nothing with 2 children Step Change was a big help. Private rent was 5 times more than my mortgage was. I only had my wage to live on to support 2 children, and I didn't have enough to pay my loans, catalogue and credit cards that's I'd got to refurbish and convert the mortgaged house id left behind.
