HMRC praise
Having recently retired and taken my pension early to go with a pension that was already being paid I found that the tax codes that had been automatically allocated for both pensions were not doing the best job - one was a M1W1 so wasn't recovering previously overpaid tax, and the split was such that one pension didn't…

Praise - Swift Cover home insurance
I moved house 4 months ago and thought it prudent to get decent home insurance including home assistance (as you never know what may be lurking under the floorboards when you move house). Insurance was still only £200 all in for home contents, bike, assistance on a 4 bed house. At 7.30pm we had a partial powercut, I did…

Is LeisureGuard breaching GDPR rules?
LeisureGuard emailed me to say my travel insurance would renew automatically and I wanted to make sure the payment method they had for me was not, say, an out-of-date credit card. This proved to be impossible online nor was it possible to establish that I had in fact authorised automatic renewals. So I emailed them with no…

Evri
I, after waiting almost a year, was able to order a Steam Deck from Valve. I spent almost £600 on this, and was, therefore, horrified when I discovered that due to the Parcelforce strikes, my delivery was going to be handled by Evri. I received notification of it arriving at my local Evri depot on the morning of the 1st…

Money Moral Dilemma: Should I return the 100+ stamps that Royal Mail sent to me by mistake?
This week's MoneySaver who wants advice asks... I sent 45 non-barcoded stamps to Royal Mail under its swap scheme, and it sent me back four envelopes, each containing 45 barcoded stamps - 180 in total. I called Royal Mail, explained the error, and was sent an envelope to return the 135 extra stamps. I posted them back,…

'Amazing' prices ? Martsew.com.
Another ad for an air fryer popped up on a Facebook page at an amazing price of £32.61, (normally £200 or so}, and I wonder if anyone has had experience of Martsew.com? Scrolling down the ad, there is a contact phone no and the URL is 'https' which I believe is secure, I put the URL in the search bar rather than follow the…

Heaterprox - AVOID !
https://heaterprox.com Is confusing me It appears to be a cheap Chinese manufacture - doesn't state where it is made There are custom fees to pay and It doesn’t even state the
power rating (which I have discovered is 350 watts - so its heat output is negligible)
and a single years warranty costs an extra £5 it also states…

Bank account hack without breaking into (stolen) mobile phone
Just discovered from a BBC broadcast that online banking typically allows your cashpoint card PIN to be viewed. If your phone and card are stolen together, fraudsters can easily set up online banking on THEIR phone. A one time access code is then sent to YOUR phone, but unless you have blocked notifications to your locked…
