I'm bombarded with adverts for My Estate Kit (www.myestatekit.co.uk). In theory it sounds good but has anyone actually used it? Scam checker reports website is new which is potential for a scam. Sorting and documenting everything "just in case" is something I need to do, with everything online and only accessible to me.

My mother died in December last year and probate granted in May. I am the sole executor and beneficiary. I instructed a solicitor for admin as I was to upset to handle everything, and I have paid funeral costs and a few bits and bobs since out of my own pocket as everything will come to me anyway. Mum's property has just…

A 'Telecoms Consumer Charter' that aims to better protect consumers from misleading price rises has been revealed. It comes after Martin Lewis, founder of MoneySavingExpert.com, prompted the Government to investigate the sector's problems by writing to the Chancellor over O2's recent price hike on a price hike. Read the…

A smorgasbord question for those who planned retirement and have retired. How well has your actual expenditure matched your modelling? Did you use your expenditure just prior to retirement to estimate your retirement expenses? I understand most research indicates that people spend a bit less, but similar than…

Has anyone else had problems with trying to close a credit card? It is a Royal Bank of Scotland balance transfer card that I have paid off in full a few days ago. The balance does show as zero. If I try to close through the mobile app, I get a Submit button, but when I click on it the button does change to the same button…

So a relative is in hospital and we are house/pet sitting. They asked me to do a meter reading and submit it to BG. I can see that the readings for many years are the wrong way round! Day is recorded as night and night as day! What are the consequences and should I do something about this?

Good Morning My Lovely Friends. Welcome to the new thread. Alas the budget for 2026 will be as tight as ever but I'm determined to live La Dolce Vita. What a glorious morning. Sun streaming through my bedroom window as I lounge in bed, what a lovely way to start the day. I watched the sunrise whilst drinking my coffee and…

Morning all, With the arrival of September (always a good month for a fresh start) and our newly formulated medium-term plan to move, it feels like a new diary is in order. I fear we have been living too much of the 'good life' - not that we can't afford it, but feelings about where we live have crystallised and we don't…

RWG's new site has been up for a few days now and several of us have been having a few issues with a variety of things, so I thought it a good idea to start a new thread rather than have spurious comments spread over two other RWG threads. Logging in was my first problem. Although it obviously recognised my email address…

Good Morning. Have you ever been refused payment from these without reason and then had CIA level requests for ID?, like if they can not be trusted to pay, I am supposed to trust them with my ID. Seems a bit scammy to my eyes. Needless to say I point blank refused. I am a member of many surveys sites (7 others) and while…

I'm looking for advice about an ongoing problem with my neighbour in Hampshire. I'd like to understand my legal position, who can help, and what steps I can take to resolve this without escalating the dispute. Our properties share a driveway/access, and both our deeds give us a right of way over the shared access. ("“A…

Happy New Year to readers old & new! Well, it's time for a new chapter. My old diary ("Put away your purse & become debt averse") achieved pretty much what I intended. I shared the story of how I got into debt at the age of 19 & stayed that way until a pretty enormous lightbulb pinged on during my early 40s, I've shared…

After two years keeping calm and carrying on, now feels like the right time to move on and start getting FIREd up instead 😀 Summary of the last two years: Was working for a plc, decent money but putting in a lot of hours, very little support from the business and pretty fed up with always being sent out to do battle for…

I visited a country in Middle East. I had a flight from a local city to main hub. I got to the local airport around 10pm, checked in and got to the departure gate around 12 midnight. The flight was scheduled for 2.40am (with my main flight back to UK at 8am from the hub). Anyway we waited and waited in the freezing…

I have been named on the will as executor to my recently deceased step-mothers estate. Named on the will as joint beneficiaries are myself, my brother (her other step-son) and her own son and daughter, with all receiving a 25% share. As far as I'm aware the only assets she has are a bungalow, which her son, daughter and…
