MoneySavingExpert.com now has 1,080,000 car finance complaint letters submitted since 6 February 2024 when its founder and executive chair Martin Lewis launched its free car finance reclaim tool. That equates to a staggering 30,000 per day. A back-of-the-envelope calculation means this could be at least £480,000,000 back for those consumers, or more, as over 25% of complaints are from people with multiple agreements.

In a blow to first-time buyers – and to MoneySavingExpert.com and its founder Martin Lewis's campaign – there were no changes to the rules on Lifetime ISAs (LISAs) announced in today's Spring Budget. However, while the news is "disappointing", Martin says a shake-up "isn't off the table".  

A penalty paid by first-time buyers accessing savings in Lifetime ISAs (LISAs) when buying homes above the scheme's £450,000 property price limit could be scrapped, it's been revealed. A new report suggests the Chancellor will remove the withdrawal fee in his upcoming Budget. This would be a win for MoneySavingExpert.com and its founder Martin Lewis who have long campaigned on the issue. 

Are you buying a home, remortgaging or renting, and trying to plan your next steps? MoneySavingExpert.com founder Martin Lewis explained what could change over the next year in the latest episode of ITV's The Martin Lewis Money Show Live.

Millions of people would have to double their incomes to escape poverty, according to a new report from charity the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF). MoneySavingExpert.com founder Martin Lewis says the problem seems to be getting worse, and has joined the charity in urging policymakers to act.

The Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has hinted help could be on the way for first-time buyers who face losing £1,000s of their own savings when withdrawing funds from Lifetime ISAs (LISAs) to buy homes above the scheme's property price limit. MoneySavingExpert.com (MSE) founder Martin Lewis challenged Mr Hunt over the issue during an interview in the latest episode of ITV's The Martin Lewis Money Show Live.

Buy now, pay later (BNPL) regulation has not been shelved, Chancellor Jeremy Hunt claimed in an interview with MoneySavingExpert.com founder Martin Lewis this week. However, the Government is being careful not to be too "heavy-handed" in its approach to regulating the industry, Mr Hunt said.

The Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has admitted that there is an "unfairness" in the current Child Benefit system, which means some families get less (or no) support as a result of "overcomplicated" tax rules. Mr Hunt made the comments during a grilling from MoneySavingExpert.com founder Martin Lewis.

New rules are urgently needed to stop lenders overwhelming people with letters, calls, texts and emails about missed payments. Charity the Money and Mental Health Policy Institute (MMHPI) and its chair, founder and core funder Martin Lewis are calling for the Government to make changes to prevent firms causing unnecessary distress to those already under strain.

Broadband, mobile and pay TV firms will no longer be able to hit customers with inflation-linked price hikes mid-contract, under proposals put forward by the telecoms regulator. But while MoneySavingExpert.com (MSE) founder Martin Lewis has welcomed the move, he has also called on Ofcom to ensure any rises are never above inflation.
