Who Really Pays Inheritance Tax? In 90 seconds.

The home heating oil situation is terrible for many unlucky enough to be about to refill. The outrage is this is an unregulated, unprotected, market (we've long called for that to change). We are subserving many, especially those who live in rural communities.

For those who've already complained you'll be told your compensation within 3mths of that, asked if you accept, then paid. That should happen by the end of 2026. Full statement www.fca.org.uk/news/stateme...

News: Car Finance Redress Scheme

The FCA has put out an update. It says it will announce the scheme at roughly 5pm one day late March. Then there'll be a 3mth implementation period (5mths for older agreements). CONT

Chancellor just stood up for the #SpringStatement. As noted yesterday, they say this'll only be marco-economic so outside my bag. There are many great commentators out there who know far more on this than me. So unless there's direct Consumer Finance measures I won't be posting.

The other immediate domestic energy concern is the cost of domestic heating oil which has risen sharply.

In the short term its primary consumer energy bill impact will be to push up new fixed rate energy tariffs costs. How much it impacts the (July onward) Price Cap is a function of how long it spikes for. If it's short it will be minimal, if it's longer then its likely to drive prices up from July.

The spike in the gas price (a prime driver of UK electricity prices) is substantial in the context of the last six months, but as the second image shows it isn't a Ukraine war type spike. CONT

Delighted to close the door on this week, not my finest one. I can't understand (and am envious of) how politicians can cope with flak so easily, my skin is far too thin. I'll see you all Monday. I hope you have a good one.

Pls do me a favour. This is my site does this look like where you were Cheapenergyclub.com

Are you sure you used Cheap Energy Club on MoneySavingExpert. I'm pretty sure we don't request a phone number (or at least not in a compulsory way)

Are you sure it wasn't a site with a simialr name, like MoneyExpert?

Just a reminder MoneySavingExpert does not cold call. If someone knocks at your door (or calls you) claiming to be from us or sent by me, to switch your energy or owt else, it is not true, be careful.

Wots going on. This type of labelling seems designed to confuse. Apparently a serving size is 5/6th of a bag. Who eats 5/6ths. Just state the facts about the bag. Pointless, misleading, nonsense.
