Helping our family survive crippling credit card debts

5
If it wasn’t for Stepchange, I don’t know where my family and I would be right now. It doesn’t bear thinking about. Previously I had allowed the banks to automatically raise my credit limit, unchallenged, until I was caught in a never ending downward spiral of debt. The banks knew what they were doing, while I wasn’t cute enough to carefully manage what they had given me. Stepchange have proved to me for 6 years now, managing my debt and budgeting, that there is nobody better to turn to when you can no longer cope with the burden of your debts. Stepchange are angels, nothing less. I am a long way from clearing my debts but because of them I know how to budget, how to pay off debts and, more importantly, how to get by in the face of financial adversity. Thank you.

StepChange has our vote!

We were informed about StepChange through one of our creditors and it was the best thing we did when we approached them. We were at our wits end and couldn’t see a way out, letters every day from creditors demanding money which we didn’t have to pay what they asked. We had to swallow our pride and admit that we were in a mess! Straight away StepChange put us at ease, not judgemental I even spoke to an advisor that had been in that position until she was debt free. We made mistakes but not all of it was through our own doing. It will take us a while to get debt free but at least now we are paying all of our creditors and they are fine with what we’re paying. Without StepChange I can’t imagine how our lives would be. We highly recommend this debt charity, please don’t go on in silence be honest with yourself and there is light at the end of the tunnel.
