Malin Svensson has been given a loan to buy a house in Malmö, Sweden. But the fee has been increased from the original $1,000 to $2,000.

Svensson says the increase is due to an increase in the cost of living in the city. She is now in talks with the bank to try to get the fee back down to $1.00 per month. For confidential support call the Samaritans on 08457 90 90 90, visit a local Samaritans branch or see www.samaritans.org.
