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

Relief

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
