Spendaholics last night

I enjoyed last night's programe. Felt sorry for her husband as he seemed so lovely , and you could see he really loved her.

Only downfall was they didn't actually delve into her debt and how to sort it out, they focused too much on how "She felt and why she came to it".

It was the level of legal involvement I think, but they didn't talk enough about that really, they just really skimmed over so much in this particular show.

At one point there was a letter saying there'd be a warrant issued for her arrest? When was that done?! Were there more?! How long did she have?!

Another thing that shocked me- when that psych bloke played back the video of the lady getting upset and talking to him, to her friends- she acted shocked that he was doing that. If it was REALLY a shock to her, she wants to sue that bloke for everything he's got. Surely it constitutes a breach of some kind of confidentiality?! I studied psychology and I'm pretty sure that it was taken pretty seriously that when you dealt with someone, it stayed between the two of you, it was totally private, or how is a patient ever going to trust you? That really had me amazed.

-Edit to add, I realise I didn't explain that that well, yes I know it all surfaced on TV anyway, but she surely will have had a chance to know what goes out there and veto it in advance. If she didn't know exactly what was going to be presented to friends and family and did not have the chance to stop that happening, and it was me, I'd have been foaming!

I didn't watch the show last night but surely by agreeing to be on the show she has waved that right goodbye as certain bits of the interview is shown on national TV and she agreed for a TV crew to be there.

I wonder why they never suggest (as an alternative to budgeting like crazy) maybe going into an IVA. Are they not allowed to suggest that or is the programme meant to be about budgeting rather than giving people a set time to get out of debt (the 5 years)

oh how do I put this tactfully. Looking at her outward appearance it was obvious there were problems she looked run down. When I'm not coping it shows even in my skin and hair.
