In our Question Time podcast, Martin Lewis gives you answers on anything and everything, including: can I shift a £15,000 loan to a 0% credit card to cut costs? How do I find any car finance agreements my deceased father had so we can reclaim them for my step-mum? Can I trick the bank into thinking I’m a higher earner to get £500 for free? We have a huge success, where one call to this podcast got our caller £5,000 back! Plus, we reveal what we’re going to call you if you ask a question or come on the podcast. What is it? You’ll have to listen to find out, of course! If you want to ask Martin a question, you now can! His Question Time podcast lets you ask Martin absolutely anything and everything (within reason!).

MPC and ESQ. We're gonna reveal that at the end. Hello, and welcome to the cunningly named The Martin Lewis Podcast. I do wonder what that's gonna be about. And this is our Question Time edition, where you get to ask me your questions on absolutely anything and everything, open brackets, within reason, close brackets. And this week you ask me, "Can I shift a fifteen-thousand-pound loan to a zero percent credit card in order to cut my costs?" Then we go on to a big success. Just one phone call to this podcast, and he got back five thousand pounds. Then, how do I find out what car finance agreements my deceased father had, so we can reclaim for him? And finally, can I trick the bank into thinking I'm a higher earner in order to get them to give me a free five hundred pounds? Play the theme tune.
