Money Box: Festival goers refund woes

Festival goers refund woes

BBC Radio 4 - Money Box, Festival goers refund woes

Festival goers refund woe, credit scores, pensioners losing out and mortgage holiday costs

Festival goers being denied refunds, credit card limit cuts affecting credit scores,  thousands of pensioners missing out on up £80 a week and how much do mortgage holidays cost?

Festival goers are trying to get their money back from the organisers of Afro Nation but are being told that Portuguese law means they’re not entitled to a refund – what can they do? Lenders are cutting credit card limits and that could affect your credit rating... but not in the way you might think.  Former pensions minister Steve Webb tells us that tens of thousands of older married women pensioners are being paid up to £80 a week too little - how do you go about seeing if you're missing out and how can you claim if you are? Mortgage repayment holidays have helped ease the finances of millions of struggling home owners during coronavirus but how much will the delay in paying cost in the long run?
