Rip Off Britain

Series 12: Episode 20

Gloria Hunniford pays a visit to the residents of one Kent town that is slowly sliding into the sea, finding out just how they are coping with their perilous situation. How some automatic bill-switching services have left customers wondering whether they would have been better off doing it themselves, and the car finance loan that has left some drivers thousands of pounds down - and, in one case, with no car to show for it. And more of our unmissable tips and advice in our annual pop-up shop.
