  1. He/She should not be driving a car with defective window wipers either.
  2. Congrats mystirio, nice new year present for you.
  3. Cloned number plates must be a boom black market industry?
  4. Lucky you! You can use Asda, Sainsburys, etc now. As HB tells you, a bunch of chancers will now attempt to extract money from you. DO NOT PAY! Nothing will happen if you don't pay. Your photo is not gonna be on a wall in every Tesco store and why would you wantto go back? They have loads of better competitors imo. Silverfox beat me to it.
  5. That would still be cheaper than my local mechanic though, he charged me 40% Tax, Displayed the cost of parts that I could get them at (ie: VAT included) and then charged 20% on that price.!!! I digress....
  6. Congratulations Gordon, if you know any electronic minded kids, they could probably fix your TV for a few pounds.
  7. 4.) Where are all the previous dividend payments?
  8. You may very well have a high yielding bond 6%>, that may very well be a very valuable asset and highly liquid in the current economic situation. The questions you need to ask is, 1.) What is the % yield on the bond? 2.)How many more years are left on the bond? 3.) What is it's current market value and is it one bond or 100's or 1000's?
  9. A bond "should" be a Gov backed security, that pays a fixed return per annum. The general rule of thumb is that when interest rates are rising then the price/value of bonds will fall, and if you are living through low interest rates the price/value rises as the bond offers better return than sitting in a bank would. Basically, they are among the safest places to invest your money for a low risk investor, however the current returns offered by bonds are pitiful Imo
  10. I personally believe BankFodder is representing my views, they are bullying you S-O-T-M, I know its tempting this close to Christmas but they have not even offered you the cost of fire report. It's easy for me to say but, I have the understanding that you don't accept the first offer. I would if you can write a very stern letter back telling them that you and your family have suffered greatly as a result of this and their heel dragging. You are insulted at their frankly questionable demands and are now considering communication with the press. Think of a figure you would be happy with and double it is my tuppence worth.
  11. Small Claims Court. No work done on engine and refusing to honour warranty because another mechanic offered an opinion!!!!!???? Time to stop kid gloves with cowboys and take them to court. Send them a letter before action and follow the process.
  12. Go straight to the top Sotm,I found him very decent. http://www.ceoemail.com/index-search.php
  13. Christmas ruined though King12345, a christmas that cannot be got back. Who knows if the kids will be over the magic of christmas by this time next year, and all because Microsoft& CarphoneCowboys are deliberately dragging their heels.
  14. Id tell them a wee white lie and say that you have been in contact with a BBC consumer advice programme and they are interested in your story, see if they offer a gag offer?
  15. Yeah, I regret typing it now Silverfox, it was somewhat tongue-n-cheek as car registration is going to give him/her away.
