Over 50s plans are sold by some of the biggest names in insurance but have been roundly criticised by the consumer organisation Which? It says they may be worse than a savings account - or even putting your money into a box in a cupboard. What do they really give you? Money Box gets the response from some of the providers and speaks to Richard Lloyd, Which?'s executive director. Paul Lewis also looks at the story of a Church of Scotland Minister who was charged for unwanted texts, reward credit cards, PPI compensation delays and the likely purchase of hundreds of Lloyds branches by the Co-op Bank. The programme was produced by Bob Howard.
