Rip-Off Britain Season 16 Episode 24 Thieves Charged Hundreds to my Phone Bill Airs November 21 2024 on BBC One

On Thursday, November 21, 2024, at 11:45 AM, “Rip-Off Britain” returns for another eye-opening episode, shining a light on the hidden scams and unfair practices that affect ordinary people. Hosted by Julia Somerville, Gloria Hunniford, and the team, this episode tackles some shocking cases that will leave viewers questioning the integrity of certain industries.

One of the main stories involves mobile phone theft, where victims discovered that thieves had charged hundreds of pounds to their bills using a little-known feature called “charge to bill.” The team investigates how this happens and what can be done to protect consumers from such exploitation. Additionally, they turn their attention to a 94-year-old stairlift user who feels short-changed by the high costs of a maintenance plan, highlighting issues many older people face when it comes to essential services. Finally, the show examines new insurance rules that were meant to stop loyal customers from being charged more than new ones, but are they actually making a difference?

“Rip-Off Britain” continues to hold businesses accountable and give a voice to the people affected by these often-overlooked issues.
