Hi I'm after a quick bit of help please. We've lived in our older house about 8 years and our semi-deteached neighbour is doing up the vacant house next door to be sold. He is now rebuilding his fence around his garden including our fence that divides our gardens(we will be paying him). He has discovered the existing fence…

I want to check if the following emails that I sent in 2022 constitute anything that would count as acknowledging the debt: Can you please double check your records as to my knowledge I have paid this outstanding amount in around June or July 2020 after the outcome of my appeal for a fee reduction. and then: Thank you for…

I'm getting to the end of my VM contract, with a month or two, to go. This morning I got their emailed bill through and for some reason it was 1d higher than normal, which made me take a look and found… Package changes: £0.01 You've made some changes since your last bill.

Bit of a tricky one. I have recently started attending universal credit appointments at my local job centre and there are a couple of car parks around. I decided to park in the one managed by countrywide parking and had to pay on the app Ringgo. On their app, they have a section where it says ‘Nearby’ Carparks, and I…

Hi everyone, (posted on the CST Law group thread, but the last post on there is from 1 year ago, so just making a new thread just incase I get no responses on there). I have been sent an LBC from CST Law on behalf of ParkDirect UK. I am not posting the specific letter but it is very similar to all the ones posted on here…

I have financial PoA for my mum and filed a 2024/25 tax return for her. I received a letter from HMRC dated 17 September this year saying there was £2970 owing for that year, with the first instalment of £1480 due on 31 January 2026 and the second instalment of the same amount due on 31 July 2026. It then goes on to say…

My father had a few falls last year and was in and out of hospital a lot, then eventually passed away in hospital. His water bills are roughly £370 a year (as of last statement) and has lived at the new build since 2011, so the meter started from 0 presumably. Having checked the meter, the figure on the meter outside has…

Hello, does anyone know what the current timelines are for getting a lodgement certificate after sending a will to HMCTS for storage? The 2 weeks mentioned here https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/store-a-will-with-the-probate-service/how-to-store-a-will-with-the-probate-service must be well out of date. The will…

We have a local services on the A1 just north of Doncaster (Barnsdale Bar) I called in to the southbound services 3 times to collect a prepaid and pre ordered Starbucks Good To Go bag. The dates were 16th July, 11th August and 18th August. Not long after my 3rd visit, I received a parking fine from Parking Group Ltd saying…

a relative who is down sizing currently in a small rented house had a offer accepted on a flat couple months ago subject to contract. She had a level 3 survey done ( it’s a period property) bought up wood rot & damp issues & the roof needs maintenance but no sinking fund. She has reduced her offer which they were( prices…

In May 2026 my local garden centre which has always had free parking became pay/display. This was unknown to me (and many others) and by the time I received the demand for payment much more signage had gone up. I’ve spoken to the staff at the garden centre and the manager who agree they have had many complaints but can do…

The basis of this would be bank info - bank names, account sort codes/numbers (but no passwords) and then what to do with said accounts in the event of emergency/death. As I understand it, Google Drive isn't the most secure of things. What about doing this kind of thing within Proton Drive? As far as my understanding is,…

Hello, Long-time lurker, first-time poster. I've had CC debt ever since moving to London after university around 9 years ago. Coming here for work on a very low wage, I quickly ate through my savings and started racking up debt on credit cards, without any real means to pay it off. Came to a bit of a head when I ended up…

Trying to sign up for this deal through the comparison page but as soon as you click through to Sky the price jumps to £25. Am I missing something ? Thats £100 extra over the 2 yr deal. EDIT: Just noticed it says “Equivalent Monthly Cost “ so likely where I’m going wrong. Confusing though 🫤

Hi. I have just come across this site after a battle with UKCPS and now Moorside. I have tried to consume as much info as possible with the help provided on the Newbies thread today. I was issued PCNs for a ‘no stopping’ in a train station for a few seconds on 2 occasions. One came as PoFA and one non-PoFA. Moorside sent…

I opened and funded a 3 year ISA with Aldermore, but I see now West Brom offers a somewhat better rate. Aldermore cooling-off period ends on 12 of October. If I open a West Brom ISA now and request a full transfer, will there be any penalty?

Hi all, A few weeks ago, I returned to my car, which was parked in a BankPark-managed car park that I used to use quite often for work, and found that I had a flat tyre. I replaced the flat tyre with the spare, but by the time I had finished and left the car park, my paid parking period had expired. When I later received…
