Lifeline

5
I ended up in debt and heavy borrowing due to my wife’s mental illness. The stress was affecting every part of my life. I contacted Stepchange and they basically threw me a lifeline. They organised my repayments and froze any action from my creditors. I have been able to control the budget in regards to every day life and also the repayments. Everything is online and communicating with Stepchange is brilliant. I have now been with Stepchange for about 6 months and been able to keep my head above water. I have a clear plan and making headway into paying all of my debts off. Thank you to everyone at Stepchange. I must add that every time I called them, there was always a non judgemental person on the other end of the phone and they were very supporting and sympathetic. And I might they wer extremely knowledgeable. Reviewed on: 24th July 2023

This charity has been an absolute life saver. I heard about them on a radio programme and they have just been wonderful in helping me to get back on my feet after a period of deep depression that racked up a lot of debt. Reviewed on: 22nd July 2023

Brilliant!

When I found myself with debt problems last year I summed up the courage to speak to my creditors, and more than one company referred me to Step Change debt management company, to help me work out a plan to move forward. When I finally spoke to someone from Step Change they were really empathetic to my problems, and helped me create a budget and monthly payment that would help me to pay my debts, whilst still being able to live. A huge weight was lifted from my shoulders, and I'm really happy that I chose Step Change to help me when I was at a very low point. Reviewed on: 21st July 2023
