Consumer Fight Back

Available for 25 days

Loyal wrestling fans in Northern Ireland – ended up paying double the price of tickets when they were first released – due to subsequent price drops. Fans are peeved off and out of pocket – but what are their rights? Linzi Lima finds out what services the Credit Union provides, in our new Organisation Handbook strand. The cost of a traditional funeral in the UK has hit record levels, forcing bereaved families to cut back on funerals while household finances remain under sustained pressure from the cost-of-living crisis. We find out what financial support is out there. And Blue Monday - also known as the most depressing day of the year - falls on the third Monday in January. But for some people, it can be a day to look at how we work, as well as the ways in which we might live with less and enjoy life more - through frugal hedonism - perhaps better known as 'waste not want not'.
