Train company that owes me £10 ignoring me. What are my options
A couple weeks ago, I got on a train and the conductor came round. I handed him £10 for a ticket which he took. He faffed about on his ticket printing machine and then told me it was broken and that I needed to buy a ticket once I got off the train, so I did. But then I realised that he didn't give me my £10 back! I don't…

DLR noise? Loud horn....
Hi, So I recently moved into an apartment block right next to a DLR station. I can hear the trains coming to and fro, and that is not a problem. However what does happen is that occasionally the trains coming into the station would sound a very loud almost fog-horn like noise. And this happens throughout the day up until…

Money Moral Dilemma: Should I pursue damages for my bike?
This week's MoneySaver who wants advice asks... My bicycle got damaged as a motorcyclist went into me and we both came off (no injuries as it was at slow speed). He agreed it was his fault verbally and agreed to pay for damages, but he's ghosting me now and has blocked my phone number. It's only £80 - should I pay it…
