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

The greatest debt charity ever!!

I have been struggling with my finances ever since I was in university and stupidly took out many payday loans that even now I’m struggling to pay back! Being a single mum, with a very small income, this charity is helping me on my way to becoming debt free which is a huge relief of my shoulders and allows me to focus and give my time to my family! Thank you StepChange! Reviewed on: 13th July 2023

Life savers!

I was in such a bad place financially, although myself and my husband both work, the change in the financial climate has caused us to struggle to make ends meet, we have 4 children to provide for and we were struggling to put food on the table let alone paying our debts. We could comfortably afford them before, then all of a sudden we couldn’t even afford to make our minimum payments. It was such a stressful time, neither of us were sleeping and it had an effect on our health, then I got in contact with StepChange. I was put at ease straight away. I was reassured that there was a way out of the debt and I honestly felt like I could breathe again. I have spoken with advisers who were wonderful, but I have also used the website which was so easy and straightforward. I would recommend StepChange to anyone who just needs to breathe again.

Literally saved my life

Although I was lucky enough to keep my job during covid, at the height of the pandemic it was too dangerous health wise for me to do my full duties which meant taking a cut in pay, my debts started to grow and Stepchange was there to deal with everything. Then after covid I had to take a cut in salary to keep my job. Stepchange literally saved my life. I don’t want to think about what could have happened to me if they hadn’t Reviewed on: 13th July 2023
