Cowboy Builder Issues
Hi everyone, This is my lesson learnt tale of woe. We had a builder who was a friend of the family to do some work for us. We agreed on £3500 to remove spalled bricks from our end terrace house wall and to rebuild a small garden wall. The small garden wall was rebuilt pretty quickly and a few days work was done on the…
Social Services in Breach of Contact Court Order?
Morning, Need some help and this looks like the most likely board to get it. I have a contact order with my son where I can see him four times a year with a support worker supervising.

Should I switch?
Right I've been checking all of these comparison sights and everyone says I should change as I'm on a prepayment meter. However when checking the rates against what I pay nothing seems to add up. I currently pay a £1.29 standing charge every week and according to my metter my rate is 9.65pKWH. I pay £40 a month but found I…
