Listen Later

The banking trade body UK Finance says that every minute of 2022 thieves stole £2,300 from bank and credit card accounts. In total they took £1.2 billion from nearly 3 million people. These figures were released this week in its Annual Fraud Report.

The Chief Economist at the Office for National Statistics answers your questions and talks about the new ONS comparison tool where you can check prices.

And how to make sure you get a new Cost of Living payment if you're entitled to it.
