Older renters face growing financial strain

Consumer Fight Back

Available for 29 days

Linzi Lima discusses a new report from the Commissioner for Older People for NI, which reveals the growing financial pressure facing private renters aged 65 and over. We get tips on how we can improve our financial literacy by better understanding our incomes, spending patterns, and contingencies to stay afloat when life throws you a curveball. We hear about the services of The Royal National Institute for the Deaf, which serves 18 million people across the UK who have a hearing loss or who are profoundly deaf. We have an update on our story about a faulty shower pump that caused extensive fire and flood damage to listener's Diarmuid family home. Plus, Limavady is named the best place in Northern Ireland for remote working – we find out why. And if you’ve got a story or an experience you’d like to share, you can get in touch - just email cfb@bbc.co.uk.
