Watchdog will be back on TV in the early autumn, in a new exciting new format. But please keep your stories and experiences coming while the programme's off air - the team will still be reading them and selecting ones to investigate. You can send them to us by clicking Got a story?

And, of course, throughout the summer you can explore our Consumer advice section, and read the Watchdog reports for tips and guides, including financial advice in the Watchdog factsheet.

The Watchdog reports have been closed for comments because the moderation team are taking a little break, but you can still read the thousands of comments that have come in during the past year.

The reports you blogged on most include:

• DVLA blunders


• Am I paying too much for gas?


• Nike's stinky trainers

To watch all the video reports and read the comments you sent in, click on the relevant topic area in the topics list below.
