Next week's edition of Your Money, Their Tricks will include an item about private parking companies - should be of interest to many on this board.

Edit: It's on tonight, BBC1 8pm. The link is to the BBC page about tonight's programme:

    I thought putting BBC1 in the title might be a clue...


    ETA For Edward123 - I came back to add a smiley in the edit because I thought my reply might have read as 'sarcastic'. But you took it better than some of the sensitive souls who post on MSE, so I'll leave it as it is. :D

    New tv programme - first in the series started tonight - advertised as "Consumer series which fights back against companies trying to trick you out of your cash." Sounds promising!

    Have they postponed the item on PPCs? Here is the synopsis for tonights programme:-
    The motor trade comes under the spotlight in this episode, as the team reveals how one of Britain's biggest garage chains gets drivers to pay for unnecessary work. Undercover cameras reveal mis-selling of secondhand cars, and there's advice on how to save hundreds of pounds on vehicle insurance.

    Might only be a small part of the show on PPCs, or they have pushed it back a week to get more dirt on them
