Saved my life

I’ve literally hit rock bottom and due to a number of varying circumstances found myself in a ton of debt and not able to talk to anyone. Stepchange changed that.. I’m now paying affordable regular amounts and feel less like I’m drowning. Plus I’ve learnt to budget and learn and get support about what the future holds for me. Reviewed on: 8th July 2023

Helping me to sort out my Debt Problems after being scammed

5
i was scammed twice last year which was awful and it badly affected my confidence. Since then I have spent hours and hours on the phone to my bank and Credit Card companies and other related organisations. I took the advice of my bank and contacted Step Change who have been very kind helpful and considerate as they took me through all the options open to me. I am now completing my budget to enable me to continue with a DMP. Without their help I really do not know what I would have done. This has been the worst experience of my life and I am getting through it but I know I could not have done that without the ongoing help and support of Step Change. They are a remarkable organisation and I am most grateful to them for their help. Reviewed on: 8th July 2023

Heros dont always wear capes

I reached out to step change a little over 12 months ago, when frankly I thought I had no chance of seeing any way out of the trouble I had found myself in. They went through all of my debts and came back with suggestions with actions on how to resolve me position. Additionally they reviewed my ingoings and outgoings to help me create a manageable budget whilst also ensuring all of my debtors received payment. Without them, I dread to think where I would be but I can assure you that it wouldn’t be a good place. I’ve a long way to go to be free of this debt but I would openly like to thank the team for there help Reviewed on: 8th July 2023
