MSE Forum poll: Self checkout vs human cashier?
You're the only customer in the supermarket and have five small-to-medium size items in your basket. For the sake of argument, let's say: a pint of milk, a jar of peanut butter, a box of cereal, a loaf of bread and a tin of baked beans. To paraphrase Louis Armstrong, you have all the time in the world. On one side, the…

I am a newbie in this forum. I have a similar issue to those in this
thread. We have been in a protracted dispute with
DBCL acting on behalf of CP Plus, with respect an alleged car park overstay

"What's the lowest you will accept for this item?"
How would you deal with this question from someone who has placed no offer, and has had no prior contact? I get this quite often - my view is I've listed an item at a certain price that I feel is fair. Obviously the listed price is what I would like - but I have placed the option to consider an offer. Why would I reduce my…

stopping 'live auctions' on ebay from announcements on an iphone
I'm not sure how best to describe my question- so stick with me. I get quite a bit of ebay traffic through the ebay app on my iphone, and open the pop ups to see if it's a message or confirmation of an offer or whatever. However I am plagued by 'live auctions' I click on the ebay 'message' and it immediately opens a live…

Moving on with things
I have debated posting this for a few days or so. One of the main reasons I wanted to post an update is because recently I said goodbye to my car for good having made the decision to lease another electric car through my business. A decision I simply think I wouldn’t have made without having been on here. My wife and I are…

DWP forcing me to repay a debt caused by identity fraud
Hi everyone, I’m
hoping for advice and to find out if anyone else has been through something
similar. I am a

my 20’s I ended up in a lot of debt relative to my income which I…

HL verses Moneyhelper annuity quotes/checker question/view.
I have been playing for hours on HL (Hargreaves Landsdown) & Moneyhelper.co.uk trying to find a sweet spot between all the various input settings and indexs on annuities. I'm pretty fixed it will be a life policy and won't be a level annuity. I'm 90% sure it will be RPI or LPI as opposed to gambling on a fixed % index, I…
