The company I work for has recently been taken over. All employees have always been paid weekly (as per our contract) and our new employer intends to implement a monthly pay schedule. He verbally informed some of us of this intention less than three weeks before what will be our final weekly pay date, others haven't been…

I received a parking fine from NPC when parking in the underground car park of the building where my friend lives. I disputed the fine on the basis there was no signs explaining I should not park without a permit, my friend was also not aware of the rules and he had encouraged me to park there. I went back and took…

Hi all, I recently applied for a rented property and was told during referencing that I'd failed due to a CCJ I had no knowledge of. Checking my Experian report, I found a County Court Judgment registered against me on 27 July 2026, but at my old address, I only discovered it on 4 September. I called the County Court…

Hi, having trouble setting up Air Pod 3. It doesn't show in settings like Apple say it should. I cannot access Listening Mode I am stuck in NOISE CONTROL

Hi all, has anyone had experience of Atom Bank? I like the idea of a 6 or 9 month fix. Good or not (the bank, I mean)?

I understand that a Saffron BS Online Bonus Saver processes payments in and out on the same day if made before 4.00pm on a working day. How long do in and out payments take?

I need to put my thoughts to paper, and would appreciate some ideas on how to handle this to get the best emotional and financial outcome, including keeping the house :) We're in Belgium. There's me (Dutch, 49F), husband (West-African, 45M), DDs (9 and 12), ... and husband's girlfriend (possibly same nationality, no idea…

Hello, I am with BG and fixed deal ends on 1.11.26; i pay by DD and my account is in credit of £180. My new tarriff was increasing by £80 per month so I switched yesterday to a cheaper fixed rate. My balance tracker estimates i should be in debit of £13 at my next DD review on 1.10.26. i will allow my next BG DD to go…

I'm now scheduled with a hearing date in September regarding a parking charge from 2024 from Euro Car Parks. Basically, two car parks with the same name next to one another and I used an app to pay for the wrong one without realising. Appealed it back in 2024 when I first got the charge, offered to pay for the correct car…

Afternoon! Hope everyone is good. I just feel terrible mentally as going through the consultation redundancy process until next month. I'm going to express an interest in voluntary redundancy (only 2 of us so should be an easy one!) . I will cite work related stress absences, disability, the new job role/description which…

I had a multi item (cooker, dishwasher, hob and washing machine) insurance policy with Domestic and General. Looking at it before renewal I saw the annual cost was going to be £708 ! I rang to cancel and was immediately offered the same policy for £229 a year, a £479 saving!!

Has anyone used an AI tool to validate their projection numbers? I used chatgpt and found it very interesting and useful, especially how resilient my pot would be in a crash and adds another available tool for pension planning with the obvious caveats.

Hi, Whilst I wait for my DNO application to come back, I just wondered what other PW3 owners have managed to get approved? I realise that this is very much dependant on local grid constraints but thought it would be interesting. My installer has applied for 11kW. I'm hoping for 7kW approval.

Regrettably, in September 2025 I signed up to a no-win/no-fee claim through ATC. I ended up receiving compensation directly through Ryanair, to the tune of £216. ATC have now demanded payment of £110 from me, citing that the agreed fees in relation to my claim remain outstanding. It is worth pointing out that, in their…

I'm just about to start looking at getting quotes for a solar + battery system and was wondering if anyone had suggestions for good installers that cover the South Yorkshire area? Some other potentially useful information: Current yearly consumption is ~3500kWh, but is expected to rise slightly next year with additional…

hi, I’ve joined in the hope I can get some advice. Incredibly long story short, builders came to do an extension and rennovation throughout. They were there almost a year and never finished. Over charged and left the house in a mess and we’ve now discovered problems with the bits they ‘finished’ too! According to campanies…

as the title, I just want to add an additional beneficiary to an existing will. Contacted one solicitor and he wants £750 plus vat. I think he wants to draft a new will, but I don't believe this is needed.

Hi all, My flat (which I purchased several years ago) has designated parking spaced for each flat in the building. On my lease, it clearly states the parking bay assigned to me as part of the purchase. The parking entrance originally had a barrier which was promptly broken. After months of no action, the building…
