Past relationships are leaving younger women with STDs - sexually transmitted debt

Social lender company, Money Sweetspot, has launched a new lending scheme linking debt repayments and financial literacy.

They have found an increasing trend of females aged 25 to 39 taking on debt from ex-partners -- including loans they were unaware of.

Chief Executive Sasha Lockley says these could be harmful to their financial futures.

She says the money owed related to phone contracts or buy-now pay-later payments for items from the previous relationship.
