Natwest - Bereavement money transfer
Hi all! My family has a bit of a sticky wicket at the moment and while I can see the obvious resolution, this is not something that has been proposed by the bank so it's left us a bit concerned. Sadly a few weeks ago my father in law passed away, it took a bit of time to obtain the Death Certificate due to the Bank Holiday…

Massive Wannabe
I have been on MSE for yonks but always lurking around in the background. I spent several years on a DMP, eventually managing to clear the lot (was around £60k) which is probably the hardest thing I have ever done and one of my proudest achievements! I bought my house four and a half years ago now and my mortgage renewal…

An in-between phase
I am largely starting this thread so as to not rudely put a long whinge on the lovely @foxgloves and @EssexHebridean threads! I will talk a little more about my slightly unsettled life situation in due course, but for now, just whinging 😂 Today I have been trying to switch to a more money saving phone contract. It has been…

How to pay US/UK tax after selling my US shares
Hi I have a stocks and shares isa with a couple of holdings in US shares. I enrolled in the W8BEN and renewed it when necessary. I've recently sold one of my holdings.

My neighbour recently passed away at home, she never left the house, never spoke to anyone and we very rarely saw her. Last weekend I noticed flies in her window, I knocked on the door but she wouldn’t have answered anyway.

Leaving dashcam wiring when return car at end of PCP?
I'm returning my car soon when the PCP ends. I have front and rear Nextbase dashcams that were hardwired by Nextbase mobile fitters. A dealer advised me to remove the two dashcams but leave the wiring as this would be cheaper than getting a mobile fitter. I'm wondering if I will be charged if I leave the wiring. I'd be…

Keeping track of sick leave in Google Sheets. A template?
Trying to think of something that'll help my OH stop getting worked up over sick leave due to the stupid (imo) system they have at their place which penalises you for trying to go back to work. I found an Excel template which looks pretty ideal - but it's Excel & I know that they'll prefer something that isn't tied to the…

yougov.finance bribe
It's one of these almost-too-good-to-be-true stories, but it is true. First mentioned by @Bridlington1 in the Natwest Regular Saver thread, but I reckon this deserves its own thread as it could be of interest to those who have at least 10 current, credit card and savings accounts and not everyone reads the Natwest RS…
