Episode 8

Consumer magazine. Rachel Treadaway-Williams investigates the plummeting value of homes on a new development in Aberporth. Plus students targeted by payday loans companies.

Rob and Dods Arnold thought their new bungalow at Aberporth would be a great investment. But just a year after they'd bought it cracks began to appear in their hundred and eighty five thousand pound bungalow, garage and garden. The same thing seemed to be happening to other nearby properties. Now, the owners of other homes on the Clos-y-Fferm development are being told that their properties have no value and can't be sold. So what went wrong at Clos-y-Fferm in Aberporth and who is to blame - the builder, the surveyor or the insurers? Rachel Treadaway-Williams investigates.

Lucie Bush from Llanelli thought that cancelling her mobile phone insurance would help her save money. But months later she discovered that she was still being charged by Carphone Warehouse. Lucy's on the case.

When Catherine and Bill Lewis left their Mini at the Sytner garage in Newport for a fortnight, they certainly didn't expect their car to be spotted speeding at a roundabout sixteen miles away in Pontypool. Rhodri finds out what went on, and how you can make sure your car doesn't become the garage's runaround.

And Lucy finds out why college students are being targeted by payday loans companies.
