General Election and Fraud report Money Box

    • Business

What are the financial issues that you will be considering when you decide how to cast your vote in the General Election in July?
Research shows that the economy and inflation are two big issues on our minds - we'll hear from some potential voters on what they'd like to see.
New figures from UK Finance, which represents banks and other finance firms, revealed that in 2023 a record number of people lost more than £450 million to thieves who tricked them, manipulated them and then drained their bank account. The slightly better news is that more of them got their money back. We'll delve into the details.
And almost three quarters of a million tax credit renewal letters are hitting people's doormats over the next few weeks - and thousands of people will need to act or face losing their payments. What should you do if that’s you?
Presenter: Paul Lewis
Reporters: Dan Whitworth, Sandra Hardial and Neil Morrow
Studio Producer: Craig Henderson
Editor: Jess Quayle
