Letters to the EditorTV Show Seeks Bankrupt Worker
We're looking for someone young who has had to declare themselves bankrupt. From what I gather it can happen where someone looses their job, finds they've got credit card debts and maybe other items they've bought such as a car. After being pursued by their creditors some people elect to declare themselves bankrupt. In terms of the story we want to do it would be a person in their 20s or 30s who has had to declare themselves bankrupt through spiralling debts. Essentially we want to do the story so that other people who might find themselves in a difficult situation might look for assistance before it's too late. The second story where I'm looking for a casestudy is where one partner finds themselves suddenly single due to their partner being killed, divorce. We want to find someone who may have left the management of the finances to other person. My direct line at Channel Nine 9965 2865. Kind Regards Katrina Wing, Money program
