It's called 'The Insider - Britain's Debt Crisis', it's on at 7.30pm on Friday 31st August (against Coronation Street and, probably, the Diana memorial - great) and I'm presenting it. Do watch if you can. You will see:
- Andy who bought 4 pubs on credit cards and was then made bankrupt owing £250,000 (impressive)
- Jools the bi-polar manic depressive who was done for fraud (and then let off) after getting a loan of at least £15,000 when she was on benefits
- Suzie who's husband killed himself because the bank kept harassing him to pay off a business debt he had secured against his home (I really don't like secured loans)
- Three students who got £32,000 credit between them in an afternoon with no income to show for themselves.
Sadly, they had no space in the programme for a young woman who got a credit card with a £3,500 limit by saying she was Indiana Jones, architect, earning £80,000 a year on the form.
There are some fun statistics and a few scary ones too. Should be worth a watch before you go out on the razz Friday night!
