This is not a drill. I'm going to be on BBC Radio 1 life hacks just after 4pm today talking ticketing scams. A topic I have been going deep on for more than a decade.

Plus stay tuned afterwards for the irrepressible @martynjames.bsky.social taking calls on all manners of scams

I appeared on BBC Rip Off Britain today (and made the thumbnail) discussing the hidden risks of 'No Win, No Fee' legal claims.

👉 Law firms need to give you all the info on how they/you are insured
👉 Understand YOU are the claimant when taking a firm to court

Rip Off Britain - Series 16: 23. No win, no fee cost me £27,000
Gloria Hunniford, Julia Somerville and the team hear how the promise of a no win, no fee legal action left a man from Burnley with a £27,000 legal bill after a firm of solicitors went bust.

pretty huge news for credit unions - the government is reviewing the requirement for members to have a “common bond”, like the same employer or locality, to help them grow - credit unions are really valuable & under-utilised so it’s just good to see the gov’t taking an interest

The sun rises on another social media profile i'll undoubtedly end up neglecting before too long.

I plan on sharing/discussing good vibes, financial and consumer commentary, tips and stories. Plus any media bits and pieces I happen to be involved in.
