'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:
'Pressure in the system' but bed figures are wrong says Manx Care
Work permits 'form part of longer-term plan' says Johnston
First Deemster and Clerk of Rolls appointed to senior roles
Mother's Day recognition for women who ‘shape our community’
