Ever since it became apparent that banks and building societies had been mis-selling Payment Protection Insurance, people have been trying to claim it back. But now a new breed of company is emerging, intent on charging people a hefty fee and a big cut of any refund for helping them reclaim their PPI. The Ministry of Justice has issued a strict code of conduct to govern the actions of claims management companies, but Rachel Treadaway-Williams investigates Swansea based money claiming experts who appear to be breaking the rules.

Have you ever been asked to prove your age in a supermarket?

In this week's Stories of Survival, David Harding tells how he spotted two boys who'd fallen into the river Taff, and leapt to rescue them, whilst Lucy travels to Llandysul to meet the Swift Water Rescue team from Mid and West Wales Fire Service, and learns how to survive a fall in a river.
