Grant of Probate post problem
I was e-mailed by the Probate Office that my grant had been issued on the 2nd Jan but it still hasn't arrived. Somebody here posted that their grant arrived the next day. The post is dreadful in my road and we haven't had any for 10 days. Sometimes we wait 3 weeks or more. A house sale sitting on this and I am very…

Understanding question from late Grandparent's pension provider
My Nan died at the end of last year aged 100. For over 29 years she was in receipt of a widow's pension from my Grandad's pension provider from his workplace. My Dad is the executor of Nan's will. She left cash only in a bank (no property). He has informed the pension provider of Nan's death and sent a death cert but had…

Forgive me if I shouldn't have posted this but I've read through a few pages of this forum looking for something that relates to my situation but couldn't find anything that was the same. Essentially I have just found out about a fine issued CPM for 'parking' at a Hospital on the 13th of December. This has now been…

Has anyone succesfully argued a Clean Air Zone charge away?
Hi everyone, Just got home to find a Birmingham City Council penalty charge waiting for me. My first reaction was to scratch my head as I distinctly remember paying the £8 charge before I made my journey into Birmingham, and looking through my credit card statement I can see that that is exactly what I did........ but then…

Hi all, Moved house back in October from a two bed to a four bed with my partner; it is fitted with a water meter. During the move our water bill DD changed from about £25 a month to £52 a month.

Meteor - IsBank - 1yr Fixed ISA
Hi everyone, I've just started an ISA transfer from Moneybox to Meteor to be able to open their 1 year fixed rate at 4.35%. You can't open the account until the transfer is complete so it is a gamble but my current rate with Moneybox is 4.13% and I'm sure I'll be able to get this elsewhere is Meteor remove the rate, has…

DCB Legal - letter of claim
Hi there, long story short I stayed at a hotel over 3 years ago. I got a parking ticket for the hotel. Tried to complain to the hotel but they were useless and didn't resolve anything. I ignored the debt collectors letters, then silence. Now I've started getting DCBL letters and now a LOC. I don't have any record of the…

Seeking help about a Charge Certificate for a second PCN (that I didn't realise I had)
Hello, I have received a Charge Certificate for a second PCN within a 24 hour period, and I am looking for advice about whether to challenge this, and if so how. I have a resident's parking permit. It now looks like I was issued two PCNs on consecutive days, for parking during a two-day temporary traffic order (TTO) on 17…

Is scheme specific lump sum protection *additional* to the LSA?
I have 2 pensions, neither accessed yet - the older one has "protected rights" of some kind on it which I believe is the same as "scheme specific lump sum protection", namely at some point in the distant past I became entitled to take more than 25% tax free from that pension and those rights still exist, potentially. I've…

Combined postage
Hi I've just sold 2 items to the same seller who has paid. I've been sent 2 RM prepaid labels, 1 for each item. One is for £2.18 and the other for £1.20 which is the same as the usual £3.38 postage. Do I just package both items together and print both labels and stick them on the package? Thanks

Completing IHT400 - my experience!
Well, after a sleepless night worrying about completing the form (and 8 supplementary forms!), I've spent the last 2 days on this and it's about done. Once I focused and stopped panicking, it wasn't so bad. Contrary to what it says on gov.uk, ''You cannot save a partly completed form so we suggest you gather all your…

Easter 2025 I’m coming to get you!
OK so that maybe slightly optimistic but you have to dream big! I’ve been reading these for a while and decided it was time to go public instead of lurking; hopefully I can keep up with it and keep motivated. I have a mortgage which is not huge but I still have one. Originally £80,000 in November 2015 and as of tonight…

Debt and Job loss
Hi, Please no judgment, I am exhausted with worry and really dont need to be told how wrong I have been. Long story short- I have a senior job which pays well. Things have gone wrong in work and I think there is a real chance that I may well lose my job. Not a misconduct issue but more a performance issue in the business…

Vanguard - Moving funds to drawdown and change to II
I have posted about this before last year, but I was given some incorrect information by Vanguard then. I usually keep 2-3 years money in a STMMF which I would like to use for drawdown, in case of market fluctuations. When you go through the drawdown process you specify which funds or cash to move the money to, but you…

Interactive Investor Advice/Managed Portfolios
Noticed this which is new from ii. https://www.ii.co.uk/ii-accounts/ii-advice Not quite sure how much of a full "advisor" offering it is v a bit of a "what Vanguard tried to do" but looked like it might be a reasonably priced option if anyone is looking for that sort of offering. Seems limited to MyFolio Index funds though…

DWP forecast says 34 years out of 35 is only pennies less per week than full state pension.
My wife spoke to DWP today to discuss her pension forecast and was told that if she only qualifies for 34 out of the 35 years, her forecast says that although she will not receive a full state pension, the amount will only be 16p less per week. I asked why and was just told that's what the forecast says and it is different…
