Claimed and Shamed

Series 8

Episode 6

Duration: 45 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC One HDLatest broadcast: on BBC One Wales

Claimed and Shamed is back for its eighth series, exposing even more insurance fraudsters lying on the phone or caught out on camera. The series highlights the extraordinary and often ridiculous lengths some people go to in order to try and receive a bumper payout.

A man with a genuine claim is left empty handed after secret filming reveals he's been grossly exaggerating his injuries. A serial fraudster is sentenced to a decade behind bars when the law catches up with him. A claim for a lost mobile phone is cut off when investigations reveal the owner's already put in ten identical claims. Call recordings come back to haunt one claimant when they try to claim for personal injury compensation, having previously declared they weren't hurt at all, and a passenger on a night bus discovers it's hard to prove you've suffered whiplash injuries when CCTV shows there was never a collision and you stayed asleep the entire time.
