    OVERDRAFT CHARGES RISE: NatWest and RBS are putting up charges for people who have arranged to have an overdraft and then make use of it. CAR TRIALS: You want to sell your car. You advertise it. A potential buyer comes round. He wants a test drive. He gets into the driving seat and before you get back in the passenger side zooms off into the distance. You never see your car again. You call your insurer. But a handy get-out clause may stop your claim better than a stinger would halt a car. We ask the insurer to take another look and ask what your rights are. MORTGAGE WRINKLES: After our story last week on interest only mortgages, we find the lenders who will extend mortgages to people over pension age. MORE CONTACTLESS: Banks are rolling out contactless credit and debit cards. In fact all our plastic payment methods will have this technology enabled soon. If you are concerned can you get a non-contactless alternative?

  • Property investor fears and chargeback problems

    Thousands of investors fear for their cash in an overseas resort scheme; 14,000 customers wait to hear if they'll get their money back after the collapse of a hot air ballooning firm; and is a do-it yourself annunity purchase a good idea? Harlequin Group filed for administration earlier this week. Investors diverted their pension savings into the scheme through self-invested personal pensions, or SIPPS. Harlequin says it is seeking external finance to speed up building construction in its resorts. It's been revealed at a creditors meeting this week that Go Ballooning has few assets to repay the estimated £2million it owes. The normal route to buy an annuity is to go to a specialist independent financial adviser. But major firms like financial management company Hargreaves Lansdowne and Tesco financial services are actively promoting another route - going online and using their computer search engine to find the best deal by yourself without any advice at all.
