BBC One - Panorama, Buy Now, Pay Later: The New Debt Crisis?

Ellie Flynn investigates the Buy Now Pay Later market, as debt charities express concern.

Ellie Flynn investigates the Buy Now Pay Later market’s close relationship with retailers and asks if enough is being done to protect customers from ending up with big bills they can’t afford.

Reporter Ellie Flynn investigates the Buy Now Pay Later market’s close relationship with retailers and asks is enough being done to protect customers from ending up with big bills they can’t afford.
