Panorama - Maxed Out: The Credit Card Trap - BBC iPlayer
I watched the Panorama programme on credit cards, which might be of use for your research for assessments one and two of the Business Comm. unit.
A brief synopsis of the programme then:
As the cost-of-living crisis continues, millions are leaning on credit cards to make ends meet. Credit cards are part of everyday life, but with card debt rising rapidly, many are struggling to keep up. Credit cards offer convenience, free credit and protection against dodgy traders, but for those unable to pay them off in full each month, they can be a slippery slope to persistent debt.
Reporter Iona Bain investigates the hidden dangers of easy credit, from soaring interest rates and minimum payments, to lenders pushing higher limits and interest-free deals. With personal stories and expert insight, Panorama asks if regulators are doing enough to protect us and offers tips on how to avoid unnecessary debt.
All the best,
Mark
Thank you. I’ll watch this I think, looks good.
ReplyDeleteYes, it’s not mandatory to watch of course, but it’s certainly of interest in terms of connecting to what we are doing in the assessments. I personally find Panorama documentaries to be informative, relevant and watchable. It can also be a reference in your PP for the meeting and / or the report! All the best, Mark
