Debt-ridden travellers stranded abroad could get some help from UK banks Some are waiving charges for withdrawing money while the volcanic ash cloud keeps flights grounded to help stop thousands spiralling into debt. However people needing credit card limit extensions to cover the cost of getting home will need to get approval from the card issuer. There are reports of many spending thousands of pounds trying to get home, while many have to dig deep to pay for hotels and food.
