A Martin Lewis fan has revealed how she saved £500 a year on broadband after one simple phone call. Emma wrote in to Money Saving Expert (MSE), which is founded by the personal finance guru, to rave about her positive result.
She said: "After reading about BT's social tariff, I made one phone call to see if we were eligible, as we're currently receiving universal credit, and got our bill reduced from £65 a month to £21 a month - that's a saving of over £500 a year. We couldn't believe it. Thank you so much."
