Debt Relief, Cost of Funerals and Car Park Insurance

You and Yours

Available for over a year

New finance rules means that people who don't own a house and owe less than £50,000 could find it easier to get rid of their debt entirely. The new Debt Relief Order is expected to lead to a 15% increase in people seeking debt relief. A parking app is offering to insure your car every time you park. It often costs more than the parking fee to buy and lasts for as long as your parking session, why would anyone buy that? Fraudsters put a new spin on an old scam. Beware a text purporting to be from a relative or friend abroad asking you to get them a replacement phone! After two years of falling prices, the cost of funerals is on the rise again. What can you do to remove a disputed mark on your credit file if the organisation that put it there no longer exists. PRESENTER: WINIFRED ROBINSON PRODUCER: KEVIN MOUSLEY
