A couple, both with learning difficulties and health conditions, were offered a bank overdraft, but they didn’t understand quite what an overdraft was, and spent money, believing it was theirs, only to find it wasn’t and they were now in a lot of debt. They have been working with our agents to find a way out of debt, and remain in touch to stay out of debt. Our agents told us that the couple’s daughter, who also has learning difficulties, desperately needs a single bed. The couple are not in the position to be able to purchase one for her, and are afraid of getting into debt again, plus they are struggling now their child tax credit and child benefits payments have stopped. We agreed we would send across £100 as a contribution towards a bed for her.
