Episode notes
Car Finance Supreme Court Impact
- The Supreme Court verdict on car finance commission disclosure could shake the foundations of consumer lending in the UK.
- This decision might cause widespread payouts and prompt government and regulator intervention.
Avoid ATM Foreign Exchange Rip-Offs
- Always pay in the local currency at foreign ATMs to avoid poor exchange rates.
- Use specialist overseas cards like Barclaycard or Chase for better foreign exchange deals.
