Debt happens. Let's deal with it.

Debt gets treated like a dirty word.

But what if together we clear up the stigma?

What if we stop avoiding the subject and shine a light on what it's really like?

Debt's a part of life, pretending it doesn't exist, won't make it disappear.

But admitting when it's a problem is a step in the right direction.

We know because we've been here for thirty years and we'll continue to be.

StepChange is a not-for-profit independent charity.

Putting people first is what we do.

So we offer free, and impartial advice for anyone worried about debt.

No matter who you are or how you're feeling, we can help you take action.
