@goldstone_tony Thanks for sharing, so 5.5 years after retiring husband will get his option, then wait for HMRC to confirm that schemepays payments are reduced then wait for increased lump sum, back pay of pension for all those years which is money he can’t spend now whilst healthy, disgraceful
Wow @GMB@ZackPolanski is not showing himself in a good light this morning, car crash interview, what a wasted opportunity to show his party, insulting @edballs and assuming he has to share same views as his wife. We want to know what Green party stands for and still don’t know.
@MartinSLewis@itvMLshow Thanks Martin just fluff from Ed M hope they do get on & regulate LPG and oil heating suppliers, we lose out on best rates due to single fuel elec deals and to not give help to all when rest of market is capped is appalling. Heating has been off for 3 weeks, duvet whilst on sofa
@alitia23@MartinSLewis@LloydsBank It isn’t about that though it’s when you find out a few months down the line that you’ve got fraud on your account 🙄 the staff on the phone just don’t seem to care about customers at all
TREASURY COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE STUDENT LOANS (inc Plan 2). Within that there is a questionnaire for (potential) students, graduates, university leavers & others to feed your views into, which is worth doing... https://t.co/clEUfYYOYF
Its good to see, and lets hope it brings pressure for improvement.
PS Treasury Committee is a cross party committee of MPs, not part of the government. Its job is to scrutinise policy, examine legislation where relevant, and hold ministers and public bodies to account on behalf of Parliament.
While it can publish reports and put pressure on the government, but it doesn't have any direct power to compel the government to act.
@paullewismoney@Baringa@realVickyPryce@Moneybox@BBCRadio4 If oil price has gone up 32% how come heating oil is up so much higher? Minimum order of 500l of heating oil causes huge problems for low income households when the price is so high.
@MartinSLewis The minimum order value of 500 litres when the price hikes is particularly difficult for pensioners or those on low incomes, my neighbour doesn’t get full state pension and really struggles.
@DerekDonkey1977@MartinSLewis@itvMLshow@ITV For some finance doesn’t come easy, I’m lucky as it does for me but remember what she said in the speech is only part of the story the detail is in the thick book which we as the public don’t have access to or the conversations the press have afterwards.
@MartinSLewis If a PHEV only does 30 miles on electric how can they end up paying per mile duty and also fuel duty for a journey, this is double taxation ie travel 150 miles only 30 miles electric 120 miles petrol but will be charged duty for the 150 mile plus paying for petrol duty
@MarkDampier@ColdrickDavid@paullewismoney I’ve previously used Flagstone was good esp to spread the £85k protection but rates on there have been dismal for months so I’m back to opening accounts myself and keeping track of interest for tax purposes.
