Call You and Yours with Julian Worricker.

More people are in debt than ever before at a time when support for those in financial trouble is under threat. With more than half of UK families struggling to repay loans and the cost of living likely to rise further there are fears things could get even worse.

Are you in debt with no where to turn to? Are you worried if interest rates go up you will no longer be able to afford your mortgage? Have you or are you considering taking a pay day loan or going online to borrow at eye-watering interest rates? With both the National Debtline and Citizen's Advice Bureau facing cuts where do we now go to get help? Should there be regulation to make borrowing more affordable?
