A debt centre manager for Christians Against Poverty (CAP) in the west of the capital has explained the harrowing scenarios that many households are facing in Edinburgh.
Melanie Kilburn, 57, has said that her debt advice service that is based out of Trinity Church in Wester Hailes is inundated with clients as the cost of living crisis worsens in Scotland.
She says that there is now a three-month waiting list for those seeking advice and that mothers are waking up in the middle of the night due to “panic attacks” connected with their debts.
