How Much Money Are You Wasting on Subscriptions or Service Fees? Here’s How a Personal Assistant Can Help You Save in the UK

In today’s digital world, it’s surprisingly easy to sign up for services—and even easier to forget about them. Whether it's unused streaming platforms, duplicate antivirus software, or old mobile contracts, these forgotten fees can silently drain your bank account every month.

The Numbers Speak for Themselves

According to a survey by Barclaycard in 2021, 1 in 5 people in the UK were paying for subscriptions they no longer used, spending an average of £39 per month on forgotten services. That’s £468 per year—money that could go into savings, a holiday, or simply easing everyday expenses.

Now imagine if you're also overpaying for broadband, energy, or phone bills just because you haven't had the time or energy to switch. Which? magazine found that households staying with the same broadband provider past their initial contract could be overpaying by up to £220 per year.

Combined, these costs could reach £700 or more per year in lost money—just by not reviewing your bills or cancelling what you don’t use.

Why Is This Happening?

Many people—especially older adults or those with busy work and family lives—don’t have the time or confidence to manage all this. Logging into accounts, comparing deals, reading small print… it’s a lot. And companies know that. They rely on you not noticing.

How a Personal Assistant Can Help

That’s where a Personal Assistant (PA) like the one at RDS Personal Solutions comes in. With a trusted PA, you can:

• Review all current subscriptions and services

• Cancel unnecessary or duplicate accounts

• Switch utility providers for better deals

• Track renewals and contract dates

• Ensure you’re only paying for what you truly use

Imagine having someone who treats your money like their own, without selling you anything—just helping you save.

It’s not just about saving money—it’s about taking control. Whether you’re 70 and overwhelmed by online billing or 40 and too busy to compare energy tariffs, a personal assistant gives you peace of mind. No more hidden charges, no more confusing contracts—just clarity and calm.
