Joint Account

The premise

Hannah has no access to her own wages and a credit file she does not recognise. Leaving safely takes planning, help and courage; the series follows her from recognition to independence without pretending the path is quick or simple.

The protagonist

Hannah Vossberg — Charity worker who realises her partner controls all the money and has taken out debt in her name

The council

Every council member is an original fictional character. None represents, quotes or is endorsed by a real person.
