Van seized after fake debt ruling

The team in Salford investigate how it was possible for a company to invent fake debts against other businesses, take their directors to court and have legal judgements rubber-stamped against them. It’s resulted in bailiffs seizing one blameless business owner’s van and another paying thousands of pounds he didn’t really owe. Also on the programme, the company that’s been switching people’s energy to a new supplier without telling them first – leaving them battling to win back control of their accounts. And with a growing number of cars being written off by insurers, could more be done to reduce the environmental impact of vehicles being sent to the scrap heap?
