Booked your holiday? Beware a slap... from Martin
After telling our boss he'd booked his trip abroad months ago but not got travel insurance yet, a crack sounded as a wrist was slapped (look closely and Martin actually slapped his own hand, but ignore that for drama). As our poll shows roughly a third are in the same boat, we asked Martin what the problem is. "Half of the point and cost of travel insurance is cover BEFORE a holiday, in case something stops you going. Every year someone contacts me, in distress, say after a cancer diagnosis, as their chemo means they can't holiday in a couple of months, but the airline won't refund tickets. THAT'S WHAT INSURANCE IS FOR, to cover this, and a host of other risks before you go. If you've delayed getting it, you're unprotected." Full help in Cheap Travel Insurance, here's the key info...

CAMPAIGN OF THE WEEK If you've been scammed, report it to help stop it happening again. This Scams Awareness Month, the charity Citizens Advice wants to remove the stigma around scams by encouraging victims to report them. Even the most financially savvy can fall prey - it shouldn't make anyone feel embarrassed. If you've been conned, report it to help the authorities take down the offenders. |
THIS WEEK'S POLL Would you admit to being scammed? Scams are getting more professional. Nearly 1 in 5 are now complex, polished and involve legal and financial elements. However, some people are embarrassed that they've been scammed and don't admit it. So would you admit to being scammed? Over HALF of you want the railways renationalised. In last week's poll, we asked if the railways should be renationalised. Over 11,500 voted and the majority of respondents were for renationalising the railways, with the 50-64 age group the most keen. Interestingly, those aged under 25 were the most reluctant to support state control. See full railway renationalisation poll results. |
MONEY MORAL DILEMMA Should we pay to repair our neighbours' car? Our van caught fire and damaged it. Our insurer won't do anything about their car as the fire wasn't caused by negligence, and our neighbours don't want to lose their no-claims bonus going through their own insurance. Should we offer to take their car for repairs, even though the fire wasn't our fault?

MARTIN'S APPEARANCES (WED 20 JUN ONWARDS) Thu 21 Jun - Good Morning Britain, ITV, Deals of the Week, 7.40am MSE TEAM APPEARANCES (SUBJECTS TBC) Wed 20 Jun - BBC Cumbria, Money Talks with Ben Maeder, from 6pm |
QUESTION OF THE WEEK Q: I'm 31 and hoping to return to studying to get my first university degree. If I take out a student loan, will this affect my chances of getting a good mortgage rate? Laura, via email. MSE Sarah G's A: Student loans aren't the same as normal debt as they don't show in your credit history. And so having one shouldn't affect you getting a mortgage, loan or credit card when a credit check is made. That said, mortgage lenders may still ask whether you have a student loan. This is because how much you repay each month could affect whether or not you'll be able to meet your mortgage payments, which could impact whether you'll be given one. For lots more help, see our Student Loans and First-Time Buyers' guides. Please suggest a question of the week (we can't reply to individual emails). |
I'D RATHER READ MSE THAN WATCH THE WORLD CUP... That's all for this week, but before we go... World Cup 2018 has well and truly kicked off, with goals galore, video-assistant referees and a victory for England. But not everyone is a football fan. So we asked MoneySavers what they like to do instead of watching the World Cup. Responses included moving to the garden to get your tan on, reading MSE (of course), washing your hair, or to put it bluntly, just not watching it. Share your World Cup alternatives on our footballing Facebook post. We hope you save some money, |
