The team meet one man worried that the £300k he spent on rare whisky might have vanished after the investment firm went bust.

Julia Somerville, Angela Rippon and Gloria Hunniford meet the man worried he may have nothing to show for the £300,000 he invested in rare whisky after the investment firm he used went bust. Also, how many of us could be forced to pay to fix a leaky underground water pipe even though it’s not on our property. The team meets the woman railing against a £1,400 bill she had no choice but to pay. And how to avoid unwittingly buying a clocked car. Last year, the team helped one man get a refund after being sold a clocked car – but they’ve since discovered it’s back on sale with no clue as to its tampered mileage.
