Life insurance - would your family cope financially if you died? Plus early car finance payouts

This week, Martin Lewis answers your questions on one of the most important forms of financial protection: life insurance. He explains how to make sure your loved ones would be financially secure if the worst happened to you, who needs cover, who may not, and how to choose the right type of policy without paying more than necessary. Whether you have a mortgage, children, or other people who depend on your income, Martin shares practical guidance to help you decide what protection is right for your family.

Plus, Martin brings the latest on the car finance mis-selling scandal, explaining where claims currently stand, what key developments mean for consumers, and whether there's anything you should be doing now as the process continues to unfold.

And in this week's Mastermind, Martin puts Adrian to the test on the payments and financial commitments most likely to appear on your credit file.
