Refused a home Covid test
No credit history - no covid test, the guides to scamming for sale on social media and the latest on the Chancellor's job support plans.
A Money Box investigation has found that people across the UK are being refused home Covid tests because of their credit histories.

And the ins and outs of the new furlough as announced by the Chancellor on Thursday.
