We've a raft of renters' tips including how to boost your credit score, a pimp your home checklist, and how to fight nasty letting fees<https://crm.moneysavingexpert.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID=iQRiQ1vBZKInv2TLlXqQUFU0Ru8Z645jgrrDoJp74YrHe874ahI%2BOiWCJN1_mxY1_aa44Hn4TqHzdn0aXx8n20kEeUBap

Telly property pawn (i) often makes it feel like renters are second class citizens, as presenters' eyes glint at the thought of everyone pushing themselves to the financial brink to max their mortgage. We don't agree. Some do rent out of necessity, but others choose it, wanting flexibility.

Whatever the reason, with rents rising to an average £943/mth - up 20% since 2016 - our guide has a whopping 55 Renting Tips<https://crm.moneysavingexpert.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID=iQRiUdEsFZh%2BHL%2BlVnMeawX9lFjDUtRPUOKAYvk8tUQR9e4ybJkggiyYfH%2B2VycuyUmkdE5mNI9GjR_mxhy57321vm8yO> to help, here are the highlights...

(i) deliberate misspeilling to stop spam filters blocking us.

1. [https://images6.moneysavingexpert.com/images/tip-credit-boost-new-v2.png] <https://crm.moneysavingexpert.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID=iQRiTobsM43yeJSkDG6_phKr%2Bys4d4XopQf4OtcovLm1dxi4bodxksFVVNB3%2BYTAyOKkAHDM_7zxfDfDV4IbghdQghlG_> New. Now paying rent on time can boost your credit score. Private renters and social housing tenants can opt in to a free scheme that records rental payments on your Experian credit report. If you pay on time, it could boost your score - and therefore your ability to get a mortgage, credit card etc. If you don't pay rent on time it'll hurt your score, so think carefully about joining if worried you may be late.

The scheme's actually been running in the background for 2yrs+ with 1.2m renters' payments recorded, but the payments were only made visible in people's files last month, so it now has a real impact on how firms score you. See make rent boost your credit score<https://crm.moneysavingexpert.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID=iQRiVu94FYthcvOwEOmUJrGqsmjaFaJj9n%2Bqt8GvBmtlzp%2B4aRq6bWiWnGCDHUuOw9h%2BOcc3%2Bd%2BAgbKOUwkitMAPItvaH> for full info, incl how to join.

2. Renters - you're free to switch broadband provider and many can save £100s/yr. You don't need your landlord's permission unless you require a new line fitted (eg, switching to cable). As about 85% of UK homes with a landline are already connected to the BT network, used by most providers incl Plusnet, Sky and TalkTalk, it's often nice and simple.

And it's vital to check what you pay, as millions are fleeced with up to £45/mth charges even for slow broadband and line. Yet hot, short-lived promos can slice bills in half - or better. The current top deals for new customers based on broadband speed are below. Links go via our Broadband Unbundled<https://crm.moneysavingexpert.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID=iQRiUC%2BHm3rZlW72loHh4YBQuWDsocsbhCb_xHD6KEznoE%2B4bgtohuExl52Gkds3L8FqX4P_TRJlP05RjP7tOpbhLC9ya> tool to check if it's available in your area.

3. New. The 'pimp your home for less' checklist. Save space and spruce it up - without losing your deposit. Top tips from the mass of experts at MSE Towers, eg, you'd be surprised how much you can store on the back of a door without nails. It's a first incarnation and we want to harness the collective wisdom of MoneySavers with lots more, so please add your ideas in the comments in the Pimp your home for less<https://crm.moneysavingexpert.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID=iQRiOZyD6WIQgg5AtUafvW25%2BfZmSSWgMilBTUVDl4hBfVvya7NsSTj9L%2BDlXbgXTS05bwlUd8FtTn%2BGkvU686R4WlwG3> blog.

4. Renters - you don't need your landlord's permission to switch energy tariff. If you pay the energy bill (ie, it's not part of your rent), you don't need your landlord's permission to switch tariff, unless you change the meter.

To find the cheapest, and get £25 dual fuel cashback if we can switch you, use our Cheap Energy Club comparison<https://crm.moneysavingexpert.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID=iQRiUFEuP4yM%2BMhHNlE69cpTyipG6F9fbDgRE1ZV0VA3Ldz4a57PEUk5%2BmTq_bSiSVLs7TXkCnILriBNppspqDHodhBap>. Unlike many comparisons, it searches the whole market. Fi emailed: "Thanks for nagging us to switch. Saved £402/yr – it was easy."

PS, some landlords may wrongly claim you need their approval, but regulator Ofgem says they can't unreasonably stop you. If in dispute, show 'em our Landlord Energy-Switch Factsheet<https://crm.moneysavingexpert.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID=iQRiPPmIoI_GhaDP5eKt2kJNsU3Kfif8FO2kiu1C71wSXlaybHVYPfVQ1Wlltw_XnWLu4f4YqCM7EheWccaVjxclUlSGo>.

5. £1,000s free towards your first mortgage. There's no shame in renting. Yet if you're lusting to own, ALWAYS save for your deposit the right way to reach your goal sooner. A better credit score helps, and for most first-timers a top Lifetime ISA<https://crm.moneysavingexpert.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID=iQRiP6t%2BkAnJeDXHJYVqSDclDmGwCdJeuluWMbGZLj3bhRk4aW6uSAOiSryTN7JOA0umrv8WDoZPrN5ldO%2BY5nbXDkSG8> or Help to Buy ISA<https://crm.moneysavingexpert.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID=iQRiShwsTl1kpbknoqqeJj%2BIc%2BH1W6Gw5PjerlV9sR5TXyByaXb2p2o7PZnapfKJzIIb6nNerWWWbhrCCYCM2EqRiImWN> is a no-brainer too, as you get a 25% bonus on your savings - £250 more per £1,000.

Plus if you're starting the first home journey, read our free 56-page MSE First-Time Buyers' Booklet<https://crm.moneysavingexpert.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID=iQRiTZKoP8Tn8pdsuxUw87BBmMyIlDOagQ_SwIvRQw7j4JT4aV6xmpuVqsYGcyZF3ovEIp9OIN2LDOjxxPS62beDJp24V>.

6. Save 60%+ on rent by becoming a property guardian. For those who can be flexible in exchange for cheap rent, you can babysit empty properties to deter squatters - these can be private homes, office blocks, fire stations, churches, schools and more. We found a former school in Somerset for £225/mth, and a care home in London for £300/mth. Full info in Property guardians<https://crm.moneysavingexpert.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID=iQRiVjTSMCS7aaFuj5s39P_xFmC_shQCocOzPyE71yYX4OjyaHGN3Fwm1nTtQYiTvtLx17y1E7GBzTNH4M3lMCmedqWWl>.

Here's MSE Becky's story: "I've lived in guardian properties for 2+ yrs and pay a third of normal London rent. Places can be huge but you often don't know how long you've got, while facilities can be basic."

7. Check your deposit's protected - if not, you could get it back plus 3x the value. If you've the most common tenancy called an 'assured shorthold tenancy' and moved on or after 6 April 2007, your landlord or letting agent MUST put your deposit into a Govt-backed protection scheme by law in Eng & Wales (similar schemes apply in Scot/NI). See deposit protection help<https://crm.moneysavingexpert.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID=iQRiT9fGWoxZdvBj8bnLNR6KTdXJMpaVpG%2BIo0V0WZFIVZE4aBIp9lACv5ENhMtk3pD2M0Q_xHBssQ_wFjGaGMr7e6I4b>.

8. Grab cheap contents insurance. Your landlord is responsible for buildings insurance, so you only need contents cover (essentially for the stuff that'd fall if you turned your home upside down). When buying, NEVER auto-renew, and here are the easy steps to save (full help in Cheap Contents Insurance for Tenants<https://crm.moneysavingexpert.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID=iQRiOdb_cQNo7ih3eZku%2BGvRjV_WWJc7S68LW05Tn_mS_FTyaTtNnnSKCQhZqqV7sbsA_NYeDjYY7ylr4pFBXp8L13Dac>)...

9. How to fight nasty letting fees. We've heard of fees of up to £60 for photocopying a contract or references.

Urgent. Got existing credit card debt? The top 0% deal to shift it to ends on Fri. With no decent replacements likely, sort it NOW<https://crm.moneysavingexpert.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID=iQRiOhGOsvlfxMQOm3ZK9ynhTl0mlFIH8WObXIV0bjck7Y_ybGX7o%2B05M2ZX4VVw5mfsa7eZsuR5LAno3M8NATXZ2NWOl

Anyone paying interest on existing credit or store card debt should look at doing a 0% balance transfer. That's where you get a new credit card which pays off the balance(s) for you, so you owe it instead, but interest-free. Yet deals are getting rapidly worse. A year ago you could get 0% for six months longer than now, and this week the head and shoulders top pick for most is about to be pulled (see below). So here are the key tips and best buys.

- Find which cards will accept you before applying. Use our balance transfer eligibility calc<https://crm.moneysavingexpert.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID=iQRiUJGo7HT3XmXgGP0a3cdpveX7rubrfrs32zZ1kd6mBFC4brrK4FGId6ejJbF8rDsKYx3Ro4wH0ljb6I%2BzMxU96t_Ga>, which shows which of the top cards you're most likely to be accepted for, without impacting your creditworthiness.
- Go for the lowest fee (factoring in cashback) in the time you're sure you can repay. Most charge a one-off fee on the amount transferred - try to minimise this. If you're not sure how long you need, play safe and go LONG.
- 'Up to' cards mean you may get a shorter 0% deal if accepted. That's why we include the best 'non up to' options.

Martin: "We need to talk about Plevin... if you've had a loan, mortgage, overdraft, credit card or car finance, you may be due £1,000s back."<https://crm.moneysavingexpert.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID=iQRiOk3P%2B6ovm_Y72ZlsZ8eWmWCQuN_21ZErTBlZmYKS0B14baKBHbNnOItfOKEUPXH0S616S5W7zNMxaX7ePB8T_UHGE

Stick with me, this is important. For years PPI has been a horror story of systemic mis-selling, and more than £30bn has been paid back. And now there's Plevin - a new-ish rule that means you may be owed £100s or £1,000s, even if you WEREN'T MIS-SOLD PPI. However, my antennae have stopped twitching on it. I get fewer questions and I worry this means many will miss out, as even though it's a new thing, the Aug 2019 PPI deadline still applies.

And Plevin may be big cash, as Martin Hall tweeted me: "@MartinSLewis Used your tool to reclaim Plevin, took 5 mins, then our first child Dylan was born on Fri, and I've just had nearly £7,000 back. We're shaking, thanks so much".

1[https://images6.moneysavingexpert.com/images/martin-founder-new_6.png]<https://crm.moneysavingexpert.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID=iQRiTbxcwJkBFOMqfRuKzUNZWwnon_NM63dXYrspkjECp2a4bw8S3BCfYEj8pf69TG25oTJcvYyjfJ8xX_2OKSmojPvyB>. Plevin is all about the huge hidden commission you paid for. Payment Protection was an insurance policy systemically (mis-)sold by banks as an add-on when they flogged different debts. Banks received huge commission from insurers for doing this. After a 2014 court case involving Susan Plevin, regulator the Financial Conduct Authority ruled that if commission was over 50% of the PPI cost and they didn't tell you (they rarely did), you're due the extra back. As average bank commission was 67%, most people who had a PPI policy are due this. For help, see Reclaim Plevin PPI for free<https://crm.moneysavingexpert.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID=iQRiQSa95o%2BcgKd4MIQtcIBpNhjUMEcfirdzjuCjRT5srYU4aHfJJtx%2BuryObx2OPsPTj_XQHkciER5YCOU9__qovS9Gg>.

2. Plevin rules require your debt and PPI to have been active after April 2008. So even if you borrowed before that, if it was still ongoing it counts. There are a few exceptions, so if in doubt, see the full when is Plevin claimable<https://crm.moneysavingexpert.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID=iQRiRcFXL58xLWA7QoEm9M7ZzZLb_nJYtvAXbILFNpticDV4bGQB36PUG3%2B7N7wpDzt8c8z9TsWZybYexXWOfrzHuz949> breakdown.

3. You can claim under Plevin, even if you were previously rejected (incl by the Ombudsman). Plevin only became a claimable route on 29 Aug 2017, so if you were rejected for mis-selling before that it's unlikely it looked at Plevin, so you could still be owed. If you did get a full payout before then, you can't double dip so won't get a Plevin payout.

4. If you were mis-sold PPI you get more money than a Plevin claim. PPI was mis-sold as a matter of course. Lenders added it without asking, lied that it was compulsory, sold the self-employed 'unemployment' cover and didn't warn of pre-existing medical condition exclusions - see the mis-selling checklist<https://crm.moneysavingexpert.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID=iQRiVnAV_fBPRdLcTTSfZITUM9bdXHBTTnSP1qed2LsRg13yamgdzEnd6Cs5HtJM3R_xnqUoH9_SSrrd0QV6JMaxjZgWZ>. If you were mis-sold you get the whole PPI amount back plus interest, not just the commission above 50% as with Plevin. See the free PPI tool<https://crm.moneysavingexpert.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID=iQRiRxfhQpXgG9QlNY0lCheyI_FaDm_IjVSKpSVpkL5%2BlJ8ybnLsqcMhzvEjQRrcT9JhtJas8oWrm54f4OkVY57_Tdoql> to reclaim. Even if you're then rejected for traditional mis-selling, banks must now automatically look if you're due a Plevin payout.

5. Not sure if you had PPI or even who your lender was? Don't worry, that's common. You don't need to pay anyone to find out. Full info on how to find out is available in our did I have PPI?<https://crm.moneysavingexpert.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID=iQRiQsk5uHAilvFMu7JOAlqwSEwYK7Oj656kcLbvdr2yoYx4bMdLYIdxWieHD9uKIPFxYTm_wY6xyCyOCcgtZmmGTblGY> help.

Warning. Solar panel subsidy to be cut - if you want 'em, do it ASAP<https://crm.moneysavingexpert.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID=iQRiS3d4cQglbo9dxD3pUmaZrkuPDua9pyipKvbu07AwD6uybJ353RyGPVmeRf3U9UHvfnEh7zS_jol2kvLQvNEQ5CEaW
The Govt is proposing to scrap the 'feed-in-tariff' payment solar panel owners get for generating electricity<https://crm.moneysavingexpert.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID=iQRiTl8jwQ7anzytBggTaFyU9_qs1r6MlhXW7WZAmB4_uyj4bxki%2Bpm5L0miE6IDqPHZsdV6vmUxhOlU31hVECW_bsxiT

Solar panels have been a great investment for some. While bill reductions from generating your own power are relatively small, the real whoop is the 'feed-in tariff' (FIT) payments you get for generating elec, whether you use it or not. A few years ago these were big, and many still get good sums as the rate is locked for 20-25 years. But the FIT has gradually shrunk for new adopters - and the Govt now proposes to end it for those who get panels installed and registered after March 2019. As fitting takes time, if they're right for you, hurry. Full info in our Solar Panels<https://crm.moneysavingexpert.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID=iQRiOm01krUjd1IXoITwaJbJrwVt6aM8QOWBOhG2rWiJAyLybfQalOSpkne4%2BVPLPnBdNRqcLv1FfqjqaQMeBWbuBFzit> guide - here's a summary:

* [https://images6.moneysavingexpert.com/images/tip-energy-solar-v4.png] <https://crm.moneysavingexpert.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID=iQRiQJQDdixt2Mu2NK0TD1z%2Bqo7k4ILXLebs4FWpOT757pfybM1T1Nq8DbcN4eGAAlSOe31qXEzKQ1cMKr72ueX31r9yc> Who can get solar panels? Technically, everyone who owns their home can. Yet the more sun you get, the more you benefit - a south-facing roof in Cornwall is more effective than a north-facing roof in Aberdeen. See who solar's best for<https://crm.moneysavingexpert.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID=jRQjToz_cw3Ol2Glegxv3SdaxnhOcJ%2BBKGL1p3sLa7S9ReL5ba9CxTjafjbHmyYsUKue3XJBkkd_0Qi37d4vvJVRMW_5_>.

* What do they cost and what's the payback? The average cost ranges from £5,000-£8,000 - see panel prices<https://crm.moneysavingexpert.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID=iQRiSm_4OdhFAdxfJdt38FpigTVpR1KJfVb28byrIQY9jLj4b5EmDVlL1UiMytEF%2BndpImCvr6sXjwf01wCnIQk3OW%2Big>. Estimated bill savings range from £85/yr to £220/yr, but for most who are out during typical daytime working hours, savings are at the lower end. A typical home would also expect to earn up to £240/yr from the FIT - that figure is far more if you got solar panels many years ago. Whatever you earn, the rate is locked in for 20 years. See how the FIT works<https://crm.moneysavingexpert.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID=iQRiSdKA0BLIueneEUm1e2h2Xkrfru75skPUfyzLSubI3SdyaZphj1jf9IHjmZC02oYYGqDEu4xKFEQKXmK72zf0dPx4N>.

* So are solar panels worth it - should I rush to beat the cut? You may get 'em for environmental reasons, but from a financial perspective this is about how long it takes to claw back installation costs.

The FIT rates are set at sign-up and locked in at that level for 20 years. So on a £6,500 cost, it can take 14-25 years to make the cost back under the current system - from the FIT and bill savings. If you miss the deadline, it jumps to a massive 30-77 years - as you've only bill savings, many won't live to see it made back. There are many more things to consider, such as whether you'll stay in your home. For a full rundown, see our Is solar worth it?<https://crm.moneysavingexpert.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID=iQRiVx7MlL0GvX2iTvYPbHMgB3N30W_jffAo9yfcS%2BFrrR_4a9b425UTa0P4D87LFdxlawcRIA_jUAwhuv1E7kwdFvbOH> analysis, incl a tool to help work out YOUR timeline to earn costs back.

* March is the 'on-paper' deadline - in reality it's much sooner. The proposal is that those who get panels certified after March 2019 get no FIT, as the Govt believes there's no further need to subsidise them. Don't think "March is ages away" - that's the deadline for certification after installation. You first need to make your decision and find a supplier, then it can take 3mths to get panels installed and certified. So if interested, start now - see how to get solar panels<https://crm.moneysavingexpert.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID=iQRiSyvDp7i0YEi48MBHcQ77BbqOVqbSacjQErMUobJtTa8ybfeMOsjWFBuh37k2qv24BO1fSnJzlq2jK5G7cy0%2BmvKG6>.

* What if I already have solar panels? Nothing changes - you still get the payments you signed up for.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Q: My friend told me I could save by switching broadband provider as I've been with my provider for years, but isn't it better to be loyal? Catherine, via email.

In fact, your price often increases the longer you're with it - and the best deals are usually reserved for new customers.

For example, looking at standard speed broadband and line rent, if you're out of contract you can pay up to (a whopping) £545/yr. Compare this to the cheapest deals for switchers, which are often under £200/yr - or even less if you claim the voucher or cashback that many of our best buys offer - and switching could easily save you £350/yr.

Pop your postcode into our Broadband Unbundled tool<https://crm.moneysavingexpert.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID=iQRiTEXVcGdOv15DwyPvJorDrCRi5jr_7L6z22cy9y%2BjsR4ybfk3DxVUpdoUz7mM6_TmGJC0E4kt4fjuNAy%2Bcw04J1SqH> to see the best deals in your area, or if you'd still rather stay put, see our 15 top haggling tips<https://crm.moneysavingexpert.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID=iQRiSIhpc8KJhTBVF0j7%2Bqh_mSTxj1kXiAUXKTbuSSPWJ3SyaXirCv05zybBFQDnTVrVZaYaPzyboKX63QOfKOkVKkn4X> for more information on negotiating a cheap price with your current provider.

MARTIN LEWIS ON THE NEW £50 NOTE?

That's all for this week, but before we go... with a new design for the £50 bank note on the way, it got us thinking about whose face should be on it. Rick on Twitter suggested our very own Martin Lewis - but as Martin pointed out<https://crm.moneysavingexpert.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID=iQRiRNaojLjzmbJaOvAaL7ajJ5X1rYeo1%2BwAsGWh7h41j%2Bb4aMNdjixc9PWEQDupRu3n16pw%2B9gJwnWL6RXAS10L6PgGW>, that could be an economic nightmare. People would get the note out, see his face and think "nah I probably shouldn't buy that" - the notes would never be spent, recession would follow... catastrophe. Let us know who you think should have the honour of having their face in your pocket in our £50 bank note <https://crm.moneysavingexpert.com/optiext/optiextension.dll?ID=iQRiRiO3D7Hk08fAdt42RZlUFdY1%2BbyO6GMvlmKED5qEn7XyadWC_XDdAzZvTw6t9uDChs0c4ntLo9Ccm9FlswnS2E_io> forum thread.
