DEAR DEIDRE: I AM drowning in debt after losing my great job as a legal secretary when the company I worked for merged a load of resources due to Covid-19.
I’m a woman of 23 and I’ve managed to get a job for a betting firm, but it’s part-time and my income has halved.
Now I have to think twice before going out for a meal with a friend or buying a new top.
I’m relying on my credit card and the situation is causing stress and anxiety.
My team and I are working safely from home but we are here to help you as always.
Send an email to problems@deardeidre.org.
