Episode 367 - On this week's podcast, I talk about the latest interest rate rise by the Bank of England. I reveal how much the interest rate rise will add to the monthly repayments and what action even those on fixed-rate deals need to be taking now. Laura then joins the show to talk about 'Buy Now Pay Later' provider Klarna, explaining the likely impact of its decision to start reporting customer transactions to credit reference agencies Transunion and Experian. Finally, Andy explains the help that is available if you are struggling to pay your energy bills including whether a supplier can disconnect your supply if you can't pay.
