Volunteers wanted for BBC Panorama show

On Monday Panorama is broadcasting a special programme following the Lehman Brothers collapse. How Safe Is My Money? will look at the bank's demise, its impact and how comsumers are likely to be affected.

They are looking to speak to people about their worries for the show.
They are looking for four specific types of people:

- Someone about to retire on a private pension who has seen the value drop
- Someone who has an amount of cash but who is now confused and concerned about where to put it
- A first time buyer who is trying to get a mortgage
- Someone on a LIBOR rate mortage

If this is of interest to you, please send me a private message, including your telephone number, email and your situation and I will pass it on to the producer.

Thanks

    ...who shouldnt have been in that position in the first place as they could have easily reduced the risk as they got closer with most schemes.
