The latest from Martin Lewis: Plans to end 'vicious' Council Tax debt collection practices leave Martin 'genuinely moved'



  • MoneySavingExpert.com founder Martin Lewis has welcomed the Government's plans to fix issues with the Council Tax system in England, including debt collection practices, following years of campaigning.

  • Describing existing debt collection processes as "vicious", Martin said he was "genuinely moved by this huge first step towards making things better".

  • The Government's key proposals include making councils wait longer to chase debts, capping debt collection admin fees, and reforming the 'severely mentally impaired' Council Tax discount.

Key MSE News: MSE user gets £2,000 cashback refund after reading our story – see whether you're due too



  • MoneySaver Richard Gillett has secured a £2,055 refund from cashback site Complete Savings after reading our warning about its misleading 'click to claim' ads. And he's not the only one, with other MSE users having had similar success.

  • Misleading Complete Savings ads, which would often surface on well-known retailers' websites when you bought something, were banned by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) in 2024, following our complaint. The ASA told Complete Savings that future ads must make clear that to get any cashback, you need to pay for a subscription.

  • Our news story covers the latest Complete Savings refund success and others, plus how to check whether you're affected and how to try for a refund yourself.

From our social channels: Check whether you're owed £10,000s in missing State Pension


A graphic with two quotes which read: "I got £25,000 back and my State Pension increased by £160‑plus a month", from MoneySaver Sheila, and "I received nearly £16,000 in back‑payments – this will make a big difference to our lives", from MoneySaver Mary.


Did you take time off work between 1978 and 2010 to look after children or someone with a long-term disability? If so, you could be due £10,000s.

This is because of errors in the old 'Home Responsibilities Protection' system, which meant over 100,000 people ended up with gaps in their National Insurance records and so got less State Pension as a result. These people are now owed this money.

And as our recent Facebook post illustrates, a number of MSE users have successfully claimed – one received £25,000 after claiming, while another got nearly £16,000. So check NOW if you think you could be owed.
