THE BEST MOVE I HAVE EVER MADE

5
Contacting Stepchange was the best thing i ever did. I always believed i could manage my creditors but what i did not allow for was a close sequence of life changing events. Such as relationship breakdown, redundancy, serious ill health..all these events changed everything as i could borrow my way out. Well that doesnt work so i swallowed my pride and with the excellent help and guidance started DMP . I am happy to report my debt is now under full control and allows me to live a worry free life. I cannot thank them enough. Reviewed on: 1st May 2024

A new life

I always dreaded opening letters or answering the phone. I was sinking with no way out. I couldn’t talk to my wife about my debts I felt ashamed by . StepChange changed that and I’m starting to enjoy like again, living in the moment rather than worrying about tomorrow . Reviewed on: 1st May 2024
