At a time when Bank of England interest rates were regularly changing, I went to invest in a fixed term savings plan. The staff I spoke to advised me holding on for a few days as they foresaw another increase in rates coming. I followed their advice and was happily rewarded. Reviewed on: 7th February 2023
