Steps to mindful financial management

Step Change provided informative and easily accessible financial management support, at a time when I felt overwhelmed by debt and without any other alternative repayment options. Reviewed on: 9th June 2025

Relief after years of anxiety

I have been in dept for most of my 20s, and it's taken me until my 30s to be able to reach out for help. I found that when I had to talk to anyone on the phone, they were kind and understanding and although talking about debt is stil ok hard, I wouldnt have been able to get it under control without help.

I was at my wits end with debts piling up due to changes in my personal circumstances. I couldn’t see a way out. A friend recommended Step Change, and after entering all my info, they put a sensible manageable plan together for me. The relief was huge. Every time I have contacted their team, I have always had a swift, helpful response. Amazing. Reviewed on: 14th July 2023

I was hesitant to get it touch, out of embarrassment, shame etc however the people at step change are honestly so calm and understanding. Took me through step by step, so helpful, explained everything fully and kept in contact. I'm so glad I finally reached out Reviewed on: 14th July 2023

I was struggling with my debts for the last 18 months. I was only able to pay the interest, but it left me short every month. it was so bad I didn't have anything left for other bills or food I was living on cheap food from the supermarket like beans on toast reduced meals sometimes nothing because I couldn't afford it, I was making myself ill, I am already ill I have bladder cancer. angina and kidney disease I needed proper food not rubbish. 18 months ago I was comfortable I wasn't missing anything and was able to afford all my bills and live properly, I was scared that people would judge me and shout at me for getting in such a mess I just kept paying the interest to keep them off my back I was going out of my mind so I phoned c. a. b. They put me in touch with stepchange they was fantastic they helped me budget my money I got in touch with the creditors to let them know what i was doing they was all fantastic they did not judge me and offer me as much help as I needed until I got onto debt management scheme, stepchangedid the rest I can't praise them enough, the creditors are happy, I have money to live on I can do a proper shop pay my bills and my creditors, thanks to stepchange they have helped me so much thank you..
