Hi all,

I have just listened to this report on the radio 5 website "listen again" section, if you have a spare 34mins click on the link below and look for the link on the right hand side of the page. Its very informative and interesting.

I listened in the car this morning, I thought it was one of the better five live reports. At first it seemed to be taking too simplistic an approach (to be fair, they don't have very long!) but I thought the personal testimonies reinforced the point that bankruptcy is not something to be taken lightly.

Possibly the only thing lacking was a decent explanation of how people find themselves in so much debt, the emotional side of overspending and denying the problem. There just wasn't a convincing answer given against the contributors who thought those in debt were simply reckless, irresponsible and deserved no sympathy at all. Obviously I believe in personal accountability and taking responsibility for our actions but still...!

Hope that makes sense, just my thoughts but I'd be interested to know what others thought?
