I was a nervous wreck with debts piling up after being made redundant. Stepchange was recommended by a family member and it was the best thing I ever did. They talked me through everything and set up a manageable payment scheme. Reviewed on: 19th May 2024

StepChange honestly changed my life.

StepChange honestly changed my life. I was in a very low place when I contacted them (after being highly recommended by a friend), and I'm so grateful for their support. I've been managing my debt with StepChange for over three years and I can now see the light at the end of the tunnel. I will be debt free in 12 months with so much thanks to StepChange.

No judgement - just help

They did not judge or make me feel like I was a stupid person for getting into debt - they just sorted out a plan for me. I cannot believe how easy they made it, just wish I had contacted them earlier! Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Returned a QoL for the whole family

My circumstances changed dramatically leaving me in a position where debt was running away from me and my mail, post box and phone was inundated by creditors. Stepchange was a life changer, I wasn’t scrabbling to try to get payments made or losing sleep anymore. I got to engage in positive life experiences rather than having them pass by obscured by worry or doubt. I can’t thank them enough. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

All I can say they are the most fantastic and caring people I’ve had dealt with, they listen and don’t judge. I think StepChange should be congratulated. From me to StepChange thank you Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

From unmanagabel debt to a working debt management plan

5
I found myself in pretty severe financial difficulties about six months after the Pandemic Lockdown finished with reduced work and difficulty in finding other options to replace lost income. I contacted my bank and they directed me to StepChange. It was a tentative first contact that quickly became easier as I was listened to, was given sound advice and eventually had an agreed DMP (Debt Management Plan) put into place. Ever since money management has become easier but most of all thanks to an outstanding professional sevice from StepChange, I have left behind worrying myself sick trying to cope with everything financial on my own i am now able to function.
