Road pricing is an option that’s very much on the radar for UK drivers in future years, as planners and politicians explore ways of recouping fuel duty revenues lost by the switch to electric vehicles. There’s been debate for donkeys’ years over whether pay-as-you-go schemes are the fairest way forward, but they’ve been a feature of life on the road here since 1663 when the first turnpike or toll road was authorised on a section of the Great North Road.

The coronavirus has had a big knock-on effect on consumers, and This is Money has received thousands of reader complaints in 2020, many from customers struggling to get their problems sorted.

You must get plenty of letters about older people being scammed out of their money by shysters.
Unfortunately, I am a stupid woman who has been conned out of £12,500. Only when I asked my husband for more money did the scam, which started with a phone call, come to light.
