ALMOST half of people in the South West would not lend money to family members – because they don’t trust them enough to pay it back.

Around 46% prefer using cards rather than cash when buying goods with 52% of those asked said they did so as it was easier to keep track of their spending.

The survey by discount website voucher codes added people in the south west were less likely to loan to family members than people in London, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
