Building Society AGM voting gripe
I'm a member of around 25 building societies (at a rough estimate). I'm signed up for AGM voting by information electronically rather than post (which is a huge waste of paper) in most of them, if not all of them. All fine. Except this year I keep getting emails saying a version of "look out for your voting pack by email…

2011 change to house buying contracts passing risk to buyer. Why?
In 2011 the rules governing house sales changed to say the buyer takes all the building risk after exchange. This means the buyer still has to complete even if the house burns down between exchange and completion. Yes, I know you would buy insurance to cover the risk, but I'm not sure I would be happy having just spent all…

EDF On line Account info
EDF has changed what we see online : "We've changed the way we show your account balance You'll now see the balance from your latest bill. To me this is a backward step as it does not reflect the actual credit - it makes the account balance lower than it is. Before it would have shown any DD's made, and Sunday Savings or…

Error on IHT400 Form box 79
Has anyone else noticed that for box 79 on the IHT400 PDF form (version : HMRC 12/25) the automation does not calculate the addition of box 77 and 78 correctly - and a manual value cannot be entered. It's using a string concatenation (joining both the value fields as a long string) rather than doing a numeric addition.

Can I use a mobile with my land line number?
OK so is there a way to do this? We were recently sent a VOIP thing to replace our current wifi hub and plug our land line in to. We haven't managed to do it and the provider (ee) won't help unless we agree to pay a call out fee. Yes I know this is something that your average 12 year old could do in under 5 minutes but us…
