How insurers get out of paying out
Article Abstract:
United Kingdom insurers face intense competition which has pushed down prices, and some analysts argue that they are also seeking ways not to make payments for claims. They may argue that non-disclosure of relevant information absolves them from paying. Customers should ensure that they do not misrepresent facts, for example by taking out motor insurance in the name of another driver who is charged less. Customers should also ensure that they are aware of exclusions that may mean they cannot claim.

Bring them up as banking babies
Article Abstract:
There are a number of ways in which children could be taught about personal finance. The Personal Finance Education Group believes that financial issues should become part of subjects already taught in schools, rather than being regarded as a separate subject. Parents can also help their children to learn about personal finance by practising good money skills. Children should be introduced to the discipline of saving at an early age, and should be encouraged to open a savings account.
