Flood insurance, Age UK energy deals, DIY revival
Age UK says it did not promote unfavourable energy deals - the programme talks to people who had those deals and finds out how they worked.
People living in houses that are at high risk of flooding are finding it more difficult to find firms who'll insure them. You & Yours has spoken to two brokers who say they are struggling to find cover for customers.
The Energy Regulator, Ofgem, says it will investigate claims about the relationship between the charity Age UK, and the energy company EON. A major newspaper claims the charity has been selling costly electricity and gas deals to older people and are getting millions of pounds in return from EON. Two listeners talk about their experiences with the company.
Plus are the days of DIY back? Lloyds Banks says its customers are spending more on DIY. While the owners of Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔbase and B&Q say they expect to attract more customers this year.
