Really helpfull and knowledgeable people. The advisor gave me advise and guided me through the whole process to set up my debt management plan. Now, I don't wake up during the night worrying because I know my financial situation getting and my debt is reducing. Reviewed on: 7th June 2025

Very helpful and thorough

Hi I'm Michael England I have been in crisis over the past years with many problems and I owed money out to three different lenders. My mental health is very poor at the moment and this all was causing me lots of stress. I've become depressed, suicidal and I self harm my wife divorced last year who h caused even more stress. I contacted step change whilst in a rehab for trauma and they were very helpful and guided me well through the whole process even though I was depressed, traumatised and my moods were all over the place. It was a great weight of pressure lifted from me and now I continue to become hopefully much better over the next months or years and then get back into work and regain a normal life I hope. Thankyou to all who helped me at step changes and I'd recommend them to anyone I know. Reviewed on: 13th July 2023

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
