“Rip Off Britain” is back this Tuesday, continuing its mission to arm consumers with the knowledge they need to avoid scams and unfair practices. This time, the team tackles a range of issues impacting wallets and peace of mind, from fire safety upgrade costs to electric car crashes and phone repair woes.
One segment focuses on residents facing hefty bills for fire safety improvements in their building. They believe the managing agent should bear the cost, but the agent disagrees. The team digs into the details to determine who’s actually responsible. In another case, the show examines the aftermath of an electric vehicle crash that damaged an elderly neighbor’s home, while presenter Louise Minchin gets behind the wheel of an electric car to explore the challenges of driving these vehicles.
Plus, the team tries to help a woman facing a ridiculous 200-mile trek for a phone repair after a software update fried her battery. It’s the kind of consumer nightmare that makes you want to chuck your phone out the window, but the “Rip Off Britain” team are on hand to help find some sensible solutions. Catch it all on BBC One, Tuesday, April 29th at 9:30 AM BST.
