Action Fraud

You and Yours

Available for over a year

Action Fraud is the UK's national fraud reporting centre. If you've been scammed, ripped off or conned, it's the first port of call. But is it helping victims of crime? As mobile phone usage increases, more of us just don't want a landline. Why can't we buy Broadband and TV package without paying for a landline? The days of nine-to-five work have all but disappeared which means that many of the 12 million Britons who work unpredictable hours pay too much in fares. When will flexible fares be introduced? This week the Planning Inspectorate began a public examination process for Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon. The examination phase will run to 31st October 2014, and will include a series of public hearings to be held in Swansea Bay. But will offshore wind farms deliver value for money? An estimated 24 million people work for small or medium-sized enterprises and for many the issue of propmpt payment is a matter of survival. The Government has introduced a Prompt Payment Code so why is there still a problem. One side accuses the other of scaremongering. The row between housing charities and landlords over teneant evictions in the private sector. And, we hear how passengers flying from Northern Ireland to the States may be due a windfall - after they paid a tax they didn't need to.
