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

Contacted stepchange a few years ago because I was totally in a mess with my finances couldn’t keep up with repayments was using different credit cards to pay each other wasn’t sleeping and was getting more withdrawn as time went on. Now I will be debt free later this year and I am so grateful for the help I received gave me my life back and helped me budget for a better financial future Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

income reduced

5
We unfortunately had our income reduced which meant we were struggling with our debts. we got in touch with step change and over a course of a few hours everything was set up and running. they literally did all the work for us so we didn’t need to get in touch with any companies. They sorted all the plan out. no one got in touch with us. They only thing we had to do was keep paying stepchange, they distributed the monies out. Once a year we do a review. That’s all. they are so good, they take everything you could possibly need into consideration during your budget, make sure you have enough money for everything you require then what’s left over is paid out.

Single parent with large debt.

5
Single parent with a large debt. After raising 2 children as a single parent I found myself in considerable debt. I turned to step change as I was unable to pay the monthly charges on my debts. They were not judgmental at all but put my mind at rest and helped me sort out my finances. I could not have done it alone. Over the years I have managed to pay off the majority of my debt without pressure from debt agencies and bailiffs. My life would have been very different if I had not been put in touch with them.
