Being honest and seeking help

5
The stress of being in debt was keeping me awake at night, was an ever decreasing circle of trying to pay for everything, realising that having a loan ultimately did not help. Firstly it was a friend who was a sympathetic ear and said I should talk to my creditors. Then it was one of my creditors (M&S) who suggested Step Change. The first call was very emotional, I cried 90% of the time as I simply felt so ashamed that I had not coped with money at all well. I was meant to be an adult. I had a job I loved but no concept of budget. And then Covid happened with all the changes it involved - even not being able to carshare doubled my travel costs. It was all a knock on effect as well as my not being money savvy. Step Change has helped so much. I gauged their help by how much I cried each call. The last main call it was only 10% which was from being overwhelmed with how kind and understanding all of the people had been in helping me to sort out a DMP. There was no judgement, no low opinion of how I’d managed so far. (I’d done that to myself already) They were simply brilliant in their approach and I cannot recommend them highly enough as a way forward to resolve debt issues. Thank you.
