BNPL Rules, Car Safety Systems, Cyber Attack latest

We find out about new rules to regulate Buy Now Pay Later as record number of consumers are found to be using it.

After a number of years of delay, the Government has announced new rules to regulate Buy Now Pay Later including affordability checks due to come in next year. Last week the FCA's Financial Lives survey found that the use of buy now pay later is at record levels with nearly 11 million people using these services in 2024. Shari Vahl talks to someone who got into debt after using BNPL and Peter Tutton from debt advice charity Step Change about what the new rules could mean for shoppers.

Over half of drivers switch off car safety systems because they find them annoying or that they don't work as they're suppose. Two drivers talk to Shari about their experiences and Yousif Al-Ani from Thatcham a company that tests them for insurers explains more about how they work.

And with empty shelves in the Co-op and no online orders at Marks and Spencer weeks after the retailers were hit by cyber hackers we get the latest on when shoopers can see normal service resume with Steve Farrell from the Grocer and cyber expert Jake More.
