Wonga, Avon, Food challenges

Customers of Wonga, which went bust in August this year, are submitting up to 500 claims for compensation a day.

Customers of Wonga, which went bust in August this year, are submitting up to 500 claims for compensation a day to the pay day lender's administrators. We hear from customers who say Wonga was unable to fulfil its loans in its final days, but took repayment money out of customers' accounts anyway.

Food challenges, where you eat a big meal in a time limit in return for a place in the restaurant's hall of fame, have become really popular on social media. The restaurants say they're also benefiting financially from the challenges too. We send our reporter Jay Unger to take one on.

The cosmetics company Avon is giving their salespeople a digital makeover and is training them to become online beauty influencers. Avon hopes their representatives can demonstrate the products and then sell them to their customers on Youtube. Winifred speaks to Matthieu Comard, Avon's General Manager of Avon Western Europe.

We have the latest tips on where and when to buy travel insurance for journeys booked next year around the time we leave the European Union.
