stepchange helped me take control of my debt

When i contacted stepchange i was at rock bottom. I didn’t answer the phone or open letters. I lived in fear of how bad my debt had got. I initially went online and completed the information and having done that i spoke to people from stepchange. I was never spoken down to or made to feel embarrassed. It was always a positive experience. Im not debt free but I'm able to make manageable payments and know that it will be paid off Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

I accumulated debt due to a drastic change of circumstance. Step change worked out an affordable plan with me, no judgment just sympathy and support for the situation I had found myself in. I am now only one year away from being completely debt free. I’d never imagined I’d be saying that 6 years ago. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024
