Financial Abuse

What can you do if you suspect a relative is the victim of financial abuse? Email moneybox@bbc.co.uk with your questions and experiences.

How do you recognise and bring an end to financial abuse? Maybe you’ve spotted that a relative is no longer eating properly, heating their home, or that money and jewellery has gone missing.

Or perhaps somebody close to you is taking money, trying to take control of your bank account or even suggesting you should change your will.

How do you tackle such difficult personal issues and suspicions?

Paul Lewis and guest will be here to answer your questions about protecting yourself or a loved one from financial abuse on Wednesday’s Money Box Live. Joining Paul will be:

Veronica Grey, Elder Abuse Charity, Hourglass
Gary Rycroft, Solicitor & Partner, Joseph A Jones & Co
Sandra McDonald, former Public Guardian for Scotland

E-mail your experiences and questions about financial abuse to moneybox@bbc.co.uk
