Kez Duxbury from Teach Me About Money is joined by Martyn James, an award-winning consumer rights expert, journalist, and broadcaster. They discussed new protections and urgent warnings for consumers, focusing on three major areas:

Savers: The proposed increase to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) limit from £85,000 to £110,000 per person, and the importance of spreading money across different UK-regulated business groups.

Renters: The new Renters' Rights Act, which includes a ban on "no-fault evictions," though full implementation is expected later. They also touched on the complexities of leasehold management companies.

Drivers: The ongoing PCP car finance misselling scandal. Martyn explained the scandal relates to excessive, undisclosed commission paid to brokers. He advised that the FCA is proposing a compensation scheme with an estimated average payout of £700 for approximately 14.2 million people. Crucially, Martyn strongly advised against using claims management companies, urging affected individuals to use the free and simple FCA process for compensation themselves.
