Heating Oil, White Goods Fraud, Clothes in your 30s

Rogue companies have been targeting vulnerable people, miss-selling them insurance for washing machines, televisions and fridges.

We track the price of Heating Oil which has been volatile over the past few weeks. To give you an idea of the price changes, 500 litres of heating oil cost Β£320 on 23 February, the day before the war began. It cost Β£662 last week. It's fallen slightly since. In Northern Ireland, around two thirds of households use oil for heating. Prices have been so unpredictable since Russia invaded Ukraine, that some people can't even get a price quote when they order. Instead, they're being asked to pay on delivery, whatever the oil costs.

Rogue companies have been targeting vulnerable people, miss-selling them insurance for washing machines, televisions and fridges. The Information Commissioner's Office are issuing five companies have been fined a total of more than Β£400,000 for breaking marketing laws. These companies were cold-calling people, persuading them to set up direct debits or make one off card payments.
