It can take time – sometimes months, even years – for someone to reach out for help with a loan shark debt.
Stop Loan Sharks figures show some borrowers waited for around four years before seeking support. But it’s worth it when they do.
These are real words from borrowers who took that brave first step and reached out to Stop Loan Sharks for help:
“It feels like a massive weight has been lifted.”
“You just understand and haven’t been judgemental.”
“After reporting you came back really quickly which put my mind at rest.”
“The person on the hotline created an immediate bond with me. I feel so much better.”
The Stop Loan Sharks team is available 24/7. No call centres. No scripts. Just real people who care.
