One of the most extreme cases of Companies House Fraud You and Yours has ever investigated

One of the most extreme cases of Companies House Fraud, plus have the TikTok generation discovered car boots and how eco are you when it comes to what you buy?

Shari Vahl is on the trail of Rong Yang - a man who has set up fake companies at multiple addresses across the UK in what's been described as one of the most extreme examples of Companies House Fraud yet.  Shari knocks on the doors of people affected and offers help and advice. Plus we put our findings to the Business and Trade minister Kevin Hollinrake and ask whether a change in the law will stop this from happening in the future.

Also in the programme, #carboot has had over 750 million views on TikTok as a new generation discovers Sunday mornings rummaging around a car boot. We hear from one TikToker and her mum.

Plus we'll be talking eco shopping as new figures from Kantar suggest an increase in shoppers going green.
