Call You and Yours: Should you lend money to family members?

BBC Radio 4 - You and Yours, Call You and Yours: Should you lend money to family members?

Lending money to relatives is at an all-time high. What does that mean for families?

Research shows one-in-four of us has lent money to family members. Have you? How did it turn out? Contact us and tell us your stories.

The family lending economy has reached £31 billion, according to new research. That's three times what the Government is giving banks to boost lending to small businesses. What's your experience of borrowing or lending within the family? Has it put your own finances under pressure? Was it willingly given and gratefully received or did it ruin relationships? Has what used to be a rare thing become the norm in these days of rising house prices and student loans? Contact us now and tell us your stories. Email us at youandyours@bbc.co.uk.
