Dear Listener

In Money Box this week

You may recall the split capital investment trust scandal. About 50,000 people lost hundreds of millions in these investments. As a result the rules on investment trusts in the UK were tightened up. But these tough rules are not imposed on foreign based firms coming into the UK market. We hear the concerns of consumer watchdogs and trade bodies.

Members of a leading charity complain after their details were passed to commercial companies.

If you have ended a mortgage in the last ten years you may be able to get a refund of the fee the lender charged to wrap up the loan. We explain how – and how much!

And if you have some cash to save up before the end of the tax year – perhaps from your mortgage refund! – we tell you the best tax-free cash ISAs that are open now.

That’s Money Box – live on Saturday at noon, repeated Sunday at 9pm and any time (after midday) on the web.
