I was worried about my money debts and how to cope with paying the debts back. I heard about Step Change and that they could listen to my problems and help with advice and help me repay my debts within my rapidly dwindling income. Step Change helped me do this. They didn't judge me and I can now sleep at night knowing my debts are being repaid without getting into more debt. Thank you StepChange Reviewed on: 2nd May 2024

i was over £50k in unsecured debt

i was over £50k in unsecured debt. I was managing but only just, one bump in the road and that all changed. I contacted Step Change after looking at my options, they never judged me just went through my spending and income and gave me clear concise options. I opted to enter a Debt Management Plan, filled in a consent form and that was it. I have been in my DMP for four years now and am down to about £11k debts with many paid off already. I am due to be debt free in September 2025 and can't wait. Step Change also teach how to budget for everything including those little unexpecting things in life. I would certainly recommend anyone who is struggling with debt not to ignore it and get help now, it will change your stress levels and take the weight off, no more being chased by debt collectors. They won't judge you, make the first Step with Step Change. Reviewed on: 2nd May 2024

Great Way of Handling Debt

They have really helped me with my debts, and relieved the pressure I was getting from my debtors taking away the worry and stress Reviewed on: 2nd May 2024

Stepchange gave me my life back...

Stepchange allowed me to continue having a roof over my head, because I was about to sell my property, due to high debt in credit cards, and loans, being a single mum. I was paying almost 1/2 of my minimum wage salary towards the debts. Since joining Stepchange, I can now pay my priority bills, such as: mortgage, car finance, energy, council tax etc..and then I can pay the credit and loan debts with the agreed amount that I can afford.
