I would like to thank you with all my heart and recommend it to anyone who is not able to cope on their own. One installment per month, according to how much is actually left from the salary. Thanks to you, I can breathe a sigh of relief and not worry about the bailiff knocking on my door. With you I feel safe and I don't worry about my future and that of my family. Thanks a lot.

£42,000 of debt

5
In 2017 I was suffocating under a mountain of debt. Stepchange was recommended to me by a friend , as they had received help and were successfully managing their own plan. I had nothing left to lose so I took the plunge and made the call. It is without doubt the best decision I made, no judgement, no criticism only help and support. My debt was over 40k! But here I am, almost exactly 7 years later and in 2 more months I will be debt free. It's not been easy, I won't lie to you. It's like everything in life that's worthwhile, you need to work at it. If, like me you are struggling, alone and feel like you are unable to manage your repayments to multiple creditors and worried that the next knock at the door is the bailiffs? Then pick up the phone and get started on the path to being debt free. Please don't struggle, Stepchange are amazing and will help you. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

It was so easy to use the website and my life has been so much easier since. Only had a couple of occasions to speak to some directly. This was very straightforward and I received friendly, helpful advice and reassuring advice.
