Blacklisted because of my surname

BBC One - Rip Off Britain, Series 16, Blacklisted because of my surname

The team help a woman banned from opening an online account by an algorithm.

When an algorithm banned one woman from opening an online account because her surname was McManus, she asked Rip Off Britain for help!

Angela Rippon, Julia Somerville and Gloria Hunniford are back fighting your corner. Today, the advice clinic experts help one woman who was told she couldn’t use her real name to register an online mobile phone account because it included a ‘forbidden word’. Also, how tens of thousands of families with disabled teens could be locked out of their child trust funds when their children turn 18. And the mobile phone companies offering bargain contract prices without being clear there’s a catch that could cost you.
