Host Mustafa Alrawi and personal finance editor Alice Haine mark two years of the weekly The Debt Panel column and speak with reader Sumera Hasan about her ultimately successful five-year ordeal with personal debt.
We also discuss new rules from the Central Bank capping how much lenders can charge customers for their services and products. They also explain the importance of developing money management skills no matter how much you earn.
