OVO billing issue
I recently moved house and closed my account with Ovo which had been energy provider for over 4 years. When I closed my account, it was over £1000 in credit. I was told the credit would be reimbursed as soon as they issued the final bill, within 4 weeks. Time went by and I contacted them multiple times, but nothing was…

Windows
Spotted these in one of our windows: According to FENSA documents, we think the windows were installed in 2006. Is the seal itself gone or should we consider replacing the whole window? Is DIY possible? Other windows around the house seem ok.

Which mortgage broker?
Hi I have recently sold a flat and am temporarily renting whilst searching for a new property. This is taking some time - I had an offer on a ground floor leasehold flat but turned out it had no EWS1 and the broker (L&C) said I was turned down on that basis.

HR redundancy figures are wildly different from mine.
Hi, I have asked HR for a breakdown of their calculations but in the meantime, am wondering if I am missing something fundamental. I have 16 years service and our policy states 1.5 weeks pay per year. I earn circa £460 per week gross. I have calculated this by multiplying my monthly gross x 12 and then dividing by 52. By…

I have recently stayed at an air BnB and unfortunately during the stay my partner had an accident with a period that arrived earlier than expected. She did not make me aware immediately as she was absolutely mortified and embarrassed (we are a relatively new couple). However we only stayed one night so this should not have…

Newest posts not being shown at the top, on Advents board
On the Standard Online Competitions board, you have the option near the top of the page to sort the results by "New", so that the newest posts will always be listed at the top. But I have realised that on the Advents board, there is no such option, and I've been finding new posts that I hadn't seen dotted around and not…

Knocking years off the mortgage…that’s the goal!

Consistently overpaid £100 a month for the last 4 years and now starting to tackle the mortgage seriously, we are able to overpay around £600 a month so we are clearing 2…
