Amazing, so helpful and non judgmental.

Amazing, so helpful and non judgmental. It is like having a massive weight lifted. Everyone has a story and a reason why they are in the hole and you gain the help and support to get out and back on track. Not to sound too over the top but it feels life saving! Reviewed on: 6th May 2026

Pulling out of the wilderness

I had it all success, money, friends and it was swiped from under me overnight this was extended due to my complacency in the oil and gas sector before the collapse. I used all my savings, cashed in ISAs (which had also collapsed) and took pension moneys to pay the mortgage and bills. This eventually runs out and I had no one to turn to and help me out until I was recommended to seek advice from Stepchange, who guided me into a suitable payment programme which I have been continuing to help me recover, its slow going and I really cant thank Stepchange enough for their help, friendliness, guidance and knowledge of my situation.

I was depressed when I think about my inability to pay my debt when I lost my job, stepchange brought peace into my heart when they came into my rescue Reviewed on: 6th May 2026

Peace is one step away with step to change

I have felt supported, no shaming, blaming only individuals ready to help. Once you address your situation you are guided to pay as you can and not be scared anymore. I got in so much debt as it was so easy, to have all the nice things that others take for granted. Thankyou step to change for guiding. Reviewed on: 6th May 2026
