    Credit cards – we use them safe in the knowledge that should anything go wrong, we’re much better protected than if we paid by cash or cheque - but there are some exceptions you might not know about.
    We look into what happens when you use your credit card to pay for something through a third party.
    In this episode we also let you in on a little known fact about how to claim money back from your debit card when a purchase goes wrong.
    And something you don’t want to miss – we reveal how your pin number might not be as safe and secure as previously thought. Just how easy is it to get hold of your cash?
