5LI: Non-League Football Finance 27 FEB 2011




5 live Investigates show

Summary: Do you own your car? Are you sure? 5 live Investigates exposes a legal loophole which leaves the 1.5 million people who buy used motors every year vulnerable to having their car repossessed. At the root of the problem lies 'log book loans', which Trading Standards wants banned. These loans allow drivers to borrow cash, using their wheels as security - but if that car is sold on, it leaves the new owner liable to pay the previous owners debts. Also: the football clubs living beyond their means, spending money they don't have and going out of business because they can't make ends meet. No, not Premier League - this is non-league. 5 live Investigates exposes the full scale of the debt in semi-pro football.
