Cash Chats UK Money & Personal Finance podcast

Ever bought something you don't like, or received an item that's damaged? Do you know your rights? In this consumer rights special of Cash Chats I talk to Helen Dewdney about getting your money back and complaining. I'm a frequent complainer - though only when there's a reason to do so - but my guest this week takes it to another level. Helen is more commonly known as the "Complaining Cow", and you may have seen her on TV sharing some of her tips to help you fight your corner when trying to get money back or compensation for poor service and dodgy goods. Listen in to find out some of Helen's tips for complaining, and we also discuss your rights to return for shopping in shops and online.

It's been a busy week in the world of money, for two very different reasons - both of which I tackle in this week's pocast episode. First up a few tips on Black Friday. Yes it feels like the sales have been on forever (it's probably a few weeks so far at least), but the big sales and the biggest discounts will be this Friday. And I do get excited about them! Next I've gone through the 2017 Autumn Budget. So if you want to quickly digest the biggest policy announcements and how they'll affect you, then this exactly what you need. The big news was around changes to Stamp Duty. More over at https://becleverwithyourcash.com/podcasts/

My guest this week is Emma Drew. Emma was one of the first guests on the podcast back in January so it was great to get her back on Skype following her Best Money Making blog win at the UK Money Bloggers SHOMO awards in September. I asked Emma to share three easy things anyone can do to make some money so listen in to learn about these simple side hustles. First we discuss mystery shopping, then online surveys, and finally eBay reselling - all activities which earn Emma a healthy bit of extra cash.

Another episode where I answer your questions. This week I explain a simple trick to help cancel Tastecard, analyse whether it's worth switching to get the new First Direct or HSBC cashback schemes, and finally how to get a Monzo bank card.

A fun chat this week about Uber, shrinkflation and those big charity cheques. Plus why you need to be buying your chocolate from Aldi! My guest for this episode is Charlotte Burns. Charlotte was actually the guest for my first ever episode back in January and it's great to have her back on the show, particularly when she shares her clever money saving tricks!

This week on the podcast I want to share with you a couple of phone recordings I've made. Don't worry I haven't been hacking celebrities' phones. Instead I've got a couple of calls made to me and my neighbour highlighting some of the different types of cold calling scams out there. Hopefully you'll get a sense of the things that point towards a fraudster, plus I share some ways you can make sure you don't get caught out by even the most convincing scammer.
