SNOWBALLED Matt first got a TV I can’t see how to escape never-ending nightmare

DAD-of-two Matt from Grantham, Lincs, just wanted a TV but has ended up thousands of pounds in debt.

Matt, 32, explained: “I’m a low earner and don’t have a good credit score, so when I found a shop offering what seemed like a very affordable way to buy a TV, I went for it.”

He moved in with his partner and went back for a cooker and fridge. When they had kids they needed a washing machine “and things snowballed”. Matt repays £280 a month and gets slapped with £40 missed-payment charges.

He said: “I reckon I’ve paid back at least twice the price I thought I was paying for items. I’m totally out of my depth and can’t see a way out of this endless nightmare.”
