Car finance Mis-selling: what you need do | Top joint bank accounts | Economic Abuse the signs

The Martin Lewis Podcast

Available for over a year

In this week’s podcast Martin Lewis gives an update on the car finance mis-selling story. He questions such as: ‘what counts as mis-selling?’ ‘How do you know if you were mis-sold?’ ‘How much will be paid out?’ ‘How can you find old agreements?’, ‘What if you’ve complained and not contacted?’ And so much more. We also look at couples’ finances – in Tell Us this week we talk through how you and your partner work on your money together. Martin runs through the top joint accounts and the rules on joint accounts if something goes wrong. Plus how joint accounts can be misused as a form of domestic abuse… he talks to the charity Surviving Economic Abuse about that. Plus news on stamp prices, mortgages, student finance and Martin’s reaction to the news that some customers using Bank of Scotland, Lloyds and Halifax apps have been able to see other users' transactions on their accounts. If you want to ask Martin a question, you now can! His Question Time podcast lets you ask Martin absolutely anything and everything (within reason!) – so if you’ve always wanted to know what colour his eyes are, what he's planning to do in his eventual retirement, or have a very complicated question about your personal finances, email it to MartinLewisPodcast@bbc.co.uk.
