Download Question Time: How to escape a joint account? When not to claim child benefit? Who is Martin’s successor?

In our Question Time podcast, Martin Lewis gives you answers on anything and everything, including: how do I escape a joint account? If I cancel a Direct Debit, do I have to tell the company? When isn’t it worth claiming child benefit? Where do I put the money from my house sale? And, who’s going to take over from Martin when he retires?

If you want to ask Martin a question, you now can! His Question Time podcast lets you ask Martin absolutely anything and everything (within reason!) – so if you’ve always wanted to know if he’s got a favourite musical, if he’s any good at building flat-pack furniture, or have a very complicated question about your personal finances, email it to MartinLewisPodcast@bbc.co.uk.
