Hi has anyone had any experience of hearing compensation companies? Recently a radio station advertised a company called HCRU. Their stationary shows the address in Astley, but there is no reference to them being a limited company or details of company registration. I rang them and was booked two days later to give an over the phone question and answer session lasting about 20 minutes....

I, like many others, have been watching "current affairs" here in this group, and witnessing the apalling behaviour of a tiny minority. As some of you are aware, I myself have been the victim of an internet libel / abuse / harassment campaign which is still progressing through the courts, so I've been watching this one with more than a little interest because I'm not involved and so it offers me...

Hello All, I work at Tesco. Last week a customer ran into me, my glasses went flying and are cracked and the frames are broken. As this happened at work, and wouldn't have happened if I wasn't there, should my employer pay for my glasses?. Bare in mind I got paid about £60 for my whole shift, my glasses are about £200... I don't go to work to lose money!. Any help would be appreciated.

Over the Christmas period HSBC called me stating they wanted repayment of my graduate account in full. Even though the account was within agreed limits, they stated a few bounced direct debits were the cause. I received letters to this effect too. I also have a credit card with this bank and they stated my credit card and graduate account would be consolidated and I could either take out a...

This group used to have lots of good advice from people who knew what they were talking about. The law is difficult and there is room for disagreement, even between experts, on what the answer might be. Then the lawyers were attacked by various people, just for being lawyers, and most of them left (presumably for another - moderated - newsgroup). The end result is that someone posts a...

I was interested in buying an airsoft gun from the US. The price of guns here in the UK are much more expensive than those for sale in the US. What do I need to do if I wanted to import an airsoft gun or two from the US? The one I'm looking at is a metallic replica of the real thing with a muzzle energy of a few joules. For shotgun-type guns, does the muzzle energy figure count on a per-pellet...

delurks Hi, I'm wondering if someone could tell me if the JCR of an Oxford College is included under the FOI Act? I know that Unions and other independent associations are exempt, but the JCR receives all its funding from the College (which is covered) and there is no membership fee. My request is that they publish the minuets of the JCR's Executive (in line

If I buy a second hand car that still has time to run on the tax disc, that's fine, but what if the previous owner was disabled (and I'm not) and hence has a disabled tax disc. Is it still transferred with the vehicle, or do I have to buy a new one? Marcus

My wife and I both have our own cars but it just isn't practical to rigidly stick to using our own so we take each other's as the situation dictates. My wife needs to use a car for work and receives a mileage allowance, so we pay extra on both insurance policies to have business cover on both cars for my wife. For medical reasons, I'm not working at the moment and so I do *not* have...
