How step change helped me

5
I was managing to pay my 5 credit cards, with over 40k debt but the balance was not really changing due to the high interest rates. Debt change helped me get a Dmp and 4 years later the money is all paid off interest free. It would have taken me over 50 years to settle the debt just paying the minimal payments and without step change. I'd highly recommend asking for their help. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

It will be the best decision you will ever make today!

I went from being way over my head and stressing on a daily basis to being more in control of the debt I owe. Step change done all the hard work and gave me one easy to manage payment plan. They keep me informed every month as to how I'm doing and how much I have left to pay. I make sure my statements from my creditors matches what is on my payment plan and watch every month as it goes down. I struggled one month as my partner was unwell and I wasn't able to make a full payment. I phoned them and they asked what I could afford and they made the ammended without any hassle. As I got a salary increase I was able to increase my payments by £50 a month. It's not alot but it shortened the timeline for me become debt free. I'm 2 years in and now have been told I'll be debt free in 4 years. The first time I was able to see the light at the end of the hole I dug myself into. I am forever grateful to the team at StepChange as it gave me my life back. I no longer stress about how I can make payments to everyone. That first night after they told me everything was fine and set up was the best sleep I have had in the 7 years it took me to deal with it all. I have my life back. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024
