As a Which? investigation finds home insurance complaints are on the rise, we hear how delays, unsatisfactory pay outs, and obstructive insurers are being blamed by unhappy claimants. 

In this week's episode we also speak to one woman waiting for thousands of pounds to be paid, and hear why the industry needs urgent reform. 

This episode is hosted by Rob Lilley, alongside Which? insurance expert Dean Sobers.
