I was so worried about our debt but on contacting Step change within minutes I felt sheer relief. By the end of the phone call I had a clear picture of what my choices were. Upon selecting the most appropriate way forward Step change contacted creditors etc on our behalf. The advisors are so friendly and helpful and the whole process made simple with their guidance. I wish I had made the call so much sooner. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

The position I found myself in with debt after being scammed was horrendous. After speaking to Step Change it showed me there was a way to sort things out and that I could have a future still. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

I was in a really bad position financially which was causing me sleepless nights, nightmares, depression and anxiety. I didn't know what to do. A friend of mine suggested debt management but the idea of paying even more money out to someone to manage it was ridiculous to me. Luckily I found step change. They were really kind and understanding with me, I'm now about 70% through my DMP with the end in sight. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

They just changed my life

I was struggling to make monthly repayments on credit and was using credit to pay credit and got into a bit of a state, it got to the point I just couldn’t cope anymore, stepchange helped and sorted out a DMP dealing with all the creditors and my life has changed, I’m not worried and stressed, that 1 monthly payment sorts everything out and I have everything else budgeted so I never get into that situation again.

Thank you step change

Step change has really helped the friend I put in touch with them. He was very depressed about his situation and couldn't see a way out. Together we spoke with the SC advisor and within a few months he was beginning to see a light at the end of the tunnel Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

Step change took me from mentally lost, angry, frustrated, and at breaking point to a more relaxed person over a period of time. Yes debt is frightening but once I got my pride out of the way and asked for help it was a step up the ladder. Phoning stepchange did make my feel embarrassed and a failure talking to them but they made me realise that I'd made the first step to feeling better about myself and with their help I would feel more better about myself and not feel I wasn't coping alone. This helped me, but not just myself but also my family who saw eventually a more relaxed person about my financial situation. I'm not saying it's easy but it is overwhelming to have the great weight lifted from your shoulders. Over time they review things and work for you and not your debtors. If you are struggling with payments via stepchange their review allows you to reduce your payments if that's what you need for you. Remember they are all about YOU!! The hardest part as I found was making the first phone call and must have put it off for about 6 months telling myself, I can cope, just juggle this and that this month and next month things will be better. No sorry that just didn't work. My stepchange payments have gone up and down over time due to work situations so unlike paying debtors you don't get overwhelmed again and everything feels manageable again and you can claim your life back.
