Barclays Partner Finance (BPF)- from 07/2014- Do they still have the paperwork?
I purchased a vehicle using BPF in 2014, through a Fixed Sum Fixed Rate Agreement. I was always questioning the interest rate at the time, as my credit score was very healthy ( I had a monitoring credit score of "excellent" with a credit bureau). BPF would have undergone their normal credit scoring methodology & come up…

Is this pension performing poorly or not?
Hi, all I have a pension with Scottish Widows ( shows up in my Halifax app ) which is frustrating me. It's crystalised as I took the 25% tax free withdrawal a couple of years ago. I don't contribute anything to it. For years now it's just seems to hover at the same level (around £110k). It just doesn't grow, but maybe I'm…

I'm paying how much interest a year??!!
Starting this to keep myself honest and on track. This is the year, well the first one of a few. I've always had the annual mortgage statement come in and put it away, little to no attention paid to it but not this time.

More than £10k in interest - self assessment form
Hi All - apologies if this has been asked before. I'm likely to hit £10k in savings interest this financial year. It will be a one off - we sold our house in March, and won't be buying for a few months - and are hence sitting on quite a lot of cash. Have already maxed out Cash ISA and PBs -so can't really move money around…

Stansted Airport Drop off/Pick up
Hi all, I used the Stansted Airport drop-off/pick-up area on Tuesday night, entering at around 23:45 and likely leaving within a few minutes—probably before midnight. As you know, payment is required online by midnight the next day. However, when I tried to pay, the website only offers payment options starting from 1:00am…
