The serious consumer issue of credit rating will come under investigation by the Channel 4 'Dispatches' programme on Monday night, with the help of the North West Area champions, the Leyland Band.

Agencies

'Secrets of Your Credit Rating' and the impact it has on individuals is put under the spotlight, and Leyland's long standing cornet player, Brian Heyes, soprano, John Doyle and chairman Iain McKnight will be amongst those featured discussing credit rating agencies.

A band spokesperson told 4BR: "Filming took place at a Christmas concert last December and we await with interest to see the programme feature on a subject that effects everyone — brass band players included."
