Consumer Fight Back

Available for 27 days

Linzi Lima hears how a happy engagement time for one couple back in September - has turned to frustration as the ring they sent off to be resized in October hasn’t been seen since... We dig into what’s driving car insurance costs through the roof in Northern Ireland, and find out about the new graduated driver licensing reforms coming into Northern Ireland. We shine a light on the services provided by the Belfast Tool Library and the range of tools that are available for hire. Linzi learns about the rising wave of fake beauty products and why it’s becoming a real problem. Plus staying warm while the temperature drops? We visit a community lunch club where older people can enjoy an affordable meal with company and a cosy environment. If you have a story or experience you want to share email [email protected]
