When I collected my car i noticed a small dent…

RAC rip off!
I just wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this or if I'm being unreasonable?! I pay for a Total Van breakdown cover with the RAC that includes 'recovering my vehicle to a garage of my choice in the UK'. It's a specific Van policy to cover my size of van (standard Ford transit van, nothing unusual). Van broke…

Employer did not notify me of a speeding offence
My employer did not notify me that I was caught speeding and gave the wrong address. I have a very toxic relationship with my employer. I’m currently looking for work elsewhere.

Hi, so buying a used car 75000 miles on clock. Dealership is offering RAC platinum plus warranty for 2 years. I've pointed out that RAC warranty says under 8 years OR 80000 miles.

Hi all, I have tried to condense my problem into the title, but here's a bit more info: I was in a small collision 6 weeks ago, and at the time we agreed to settle it outside of insurance.

Can you park a company car fully on the pavement outside your shop
Yesterday I noticed a new business has opened quite near to where I live and they have parked two 'company cars' on the pavement right outside the shop. There are actually bollards along the pavement edge, I guess to prevent parking, so the cars have obviously been driven onto the footpath further along the road, then…

Second hand car advice

From Zero to £335 - Electric van tax hike in April 2025
In April 2025, electric vans that previously benefitted from £0 road tax are to be recategorised as Light Goods Vehicles (the same as any diesel van) and will be charged a whopping £335 in road tax (current 2024 tax which is likely to go up come April).
