'Significant increase' in residents seeking advice again
The rising cost of living hasn't resulted in increased numbers seeking debt advice - but those who've previously needed help are returning.
That's from the Isle of Man Office of Fair Trading which provides a debt counselling service to Manx residents.
Rising energy costs, increasing inflation and the Covid situation have all have an economic impact on the Island.
Head of the OFT John Peet admits he thought more people would need support but a different trend has emerged:
More than 500 Isle of Man Energy customers overcharged for VAT
Police working with schools to teach children about the dangers of social media
Drivers turning in Douglas Fire Station forecourt leads to 'near misses'
Isle of Man Government ‘closely monitoring’ impact of US trade tariffs
