The following note is from the producers of ITV1’s Tonight with Trevor MacDonald programme

Tonight with Trevor MacDonald are looking for debt case studies. As part of the programme Money Saving Expert, Martin Lewis will do a money makeover on the families. The story is about people’s relationship with money, the impact it has on you, your partner and your family.

The programme is especially interested in people who have spent money and got into debt without telling their partner spouse. As part of the programme a relationship counsellor will be available to help deal with any fall out of ‘coming clean’.

Please contact Jacqui in strict confidence on 0161 827 2658 or 0773 6089154/ Email [EMAIL="Jacqui.lloyd@granadamedia.com"]Jacqui.lloyd@granadamedia.com[/EMAIL].

Quick note from me. Obviously by contacting Jacqui you’re signalling you may be interested in taking part in the programme, however don’t worry if you call, and then realise its not for you, its no problem, the call is in confidence.

It’s worth remembering this type of hidden debt is a problem for many people, and by taking part in the programme as well as hopefully helping yourself, many will benefit.

All the best

Martin
