Student gambling, fake companies and forced prepayment warrants
You and YoursAvailable for over a year
The government is promising its long-awaited Gambling White Paper will be published soon - we hear about new research into students' gambling habits - and speak to someone who lost his student loan this way within 24 hours. Also on the programme - the man who gets thousands of letters addressed to companies using his address to avoid paying VAT, and magistrates defend themselves over the granting of warrants to force fit prepayment meters in people's homes. And - did the Covid pandemic change your weekly supermarket shopping habits? PRESENTER: WINIFRED ROBINSON PRODUCER: TOM MOSELEY
