Mortgage Prisoners, Charity Adverts on TV, Disabled Parking Bays

BBC Radio 4 - You and Yours, Mortgage Prisoners, Charity Adverts on TV, Disabled Parking Bays

Trapped in an expensive mortgage, toning down charity adverts and disabled parking bays.

How it feels to be trapped in a mortgage dating back to the last financial crisis. Plus why charity ads aren't as hard-hitting any more and the fight to save disabled parking bays.

Charities say hard-hitting emotional TV adverts are being dropped for friendlier versions, we ask if the shock tactics of the past simply don't work any more.

Insurance for young people is on the rise again - but is there anything they can do about it?

We catch up with a family struggling to meet the monthly mortgage after being trapped in a deal dating back to the sub-prime days of the last financial crash

And why car park companies are being warned not to move disabled parking spots to fit in new plug-in spaces.
