There really is a 'Day' for everything and today is 'International Identification Day' (16th September) so Emma & Zak are looking at ways to sort out your ID while you’re in prison.

To help them, they’ve invited back Paul Retout from the Tax Academy (And frequent Inside Time contributor) to look at how it might be possible to source a birth certificate, passport or driving licence while you’re inside. Spoiler: It’s not going to be easy but it IS possible

Having some form of valid ID is really important as it can help you secure a bank account, employment and it will even allow you to vote!

One of the most difficult things to do when you’re having debt troubles, is getting in touch with your creditors. You might have feelings of embarrassment or be worried what the next steps might involve. The anxiety surrounding this can be made worse by being in prison, it’s no longer a case of making a phone call or going online

If this sounds familiar, then Money Mondays is here to help. We’ll be looking at why it’s important to speak with your creditors, how to do this from inside prison and the kinds of support they might be able to offer you.

We welcome Rachel on to the show who is an industry expert with a heart of gold. She has spent years supporting customers and helping people with debt issues get back on their feet. She explains the problem but more importantly, looks at the potential solutions too
