Saved my home

5
I unexpectedly became ill and I had to reduce my work hours. I could have lost my home if it weren't for Step Change (and to be fair, the understanding of Marks and Spencer Money). I live alone and I was terrified about my future. Step Change genuinely saved me. I can't thank them enough. Reviewed on: 13th July 2023

Speaking to stepchange literally changed my life. They offered me reassurance, were non judgemental and so helpful. Reviewed on: 13th July 2023

Financial crisis

5
I left the Royal Marines in 2019 and found myself in a financial black hole. Not knowing what to do in terms of employment and having two young children to provide for as a single father. I found myself resorting to credit cards. Within 3 years I was £12000 in debt with no way out. Step Change helped me to assess my financial situation and provide immediate support by creating a payment plan whereby I could pay little and often allowing enough money to provide for my family. Without Step Change, I don’t know where I would be today. Thank you Reviewed on: 13th July 2023

Supportive and understanding

5
Step change have really helped me. Life changing. If need help sometimes, it’s good to just admit it. Professional, supportive staff. So easy to manage online too. Will be forever grateful to Step Change. Reviewed on: 13th July 2023
