Listener Helen also came to On Your Behalf after changing her home insurance premium payment method, only to discover she had been wrongly billed for monthly payments.
Back To School with the experts; Aoife Hamilton of Employers for Childcare, and Patricia Mooney of the Northern Ireland Childminding Association look at help and grants available to cover the cost of school uniforms and the impact on child care as COVID restrictions ease.
