The people who spent thousands on a bold new venture only to be left with nothing.

Rip Off Britain looks at people who spent thousands on a bold new venture only to be left with nothing to show for it. Plus parking tickets that ended up with a summons to court.

Rip Off Britain looks at the people who have suffered disastrous situations that have turned their lives totally upside down, including the people who spent thousands on a bold new venture only to be left with nothing to show for it. And the families left in financial limbo after a decision their parents made to protect their inheritance backfired. Plus - innocuous parking tickets that started as an annoyance and ended up with a summons to court. Along with all that, the advice clinic opens its doors once more – with plenty of take-home tips to keep more of your money in your pocket.
