Hi I am a single parent and my son often gets overexcited and finds it very difficult to calm down. When this occurs he is very difficult to handle. He is often getting into trouble at school, and recently I have had letters sent home regarding his behaviour. I have discussed this with his teacher, although while some of the comments she made were understandable, some of them indicated to me...

Someone told me that writing a cheque that goes on to bounce is a criminal offence. If this is the case, under what legislation? (I have some idiot I'm trying to get money out of, so far the best use I have for his bounced cheque is proof of the debt)

I was rear ended today by a young man at some traffic lights. We exchanged details and then drove off our separate ways. I haven't had a chance to get the damage inspected yet but my own inspection leads me to believe that the damage is mainly superficial and, apart from re-spraying the damaged area, would not cost that much to repair. The damage to the young man's car was very...

Hi I have recently moved into a new flat and was burgled within 2 days. I have now discovered that the house next door is a "half way" house and whilst not wishing to presume the burglar lived next door, I'm disabled and I'd rather not be living here. Have I any recourse to either my lawyer, the vendors lawyer , the estate agent, etc. Thanks for any help --

Currently I am in dispute with a former ISP, who claim I owe them £35 for service provided in March and April, when in fact I rang up their customer services in India, and cancelled my account with them last February. The ISP claim that they have a record of my call then, but that I did not cancel my account, I just complained about faulty service, which I also did. In fact I made 2 calls to...

A chap kicks my car leaving a £350 dent in it. Police attend and see damage and later arrest the chap. He suddenly finds a witness who can prove it wasn't him and CPS decide not to prosecute. I want to take legal proceedings but the police will not give me his name and address. How do I get it? Cheers.

Hi, As some of you may know, I recently tore my quads tendon (knee). It means I have limited movement in my knee, Im unstable on my feet, and Im quite weak. It means driving is virtually impossible. That brings me onto my first question...

Please can someone help us with below? My father in law recently had his 3rd brain haemorrhage, and also a stroke. He's in hospital, paralysed on right side, but able to hear, grunt a bit, see a bit and respond to most questions, although some days are better than others. We expect some slow inprovement, but not much. He has a private pension due to pay out in July, when he's 65, but the...

I am in the process of selling my flat. When the mortgage surveyor did his survey he showed me that there was damp in my external bedroom wall - naturally he was reporting to mortgage company. About 3 weeks later I was informed by my estate agent that a damp surveyor would be doing a survey. He informally told me that it wasn't too serious. On Monday having chased up my estate agent I had...

Hi All, For the first time this week, I received a parking ticket (PCN). I have alittle query about the validity of the ticket, as it was placed under the windscreen wiper on right at the end on the passenger side of the car (hidden behind the tax disc holder at the bottom left corner of the windscreen) so I did not see it until I had left the area in question (I was about 1 hour away on...

Hypothetical scenario: In order to operate a gas gun, does one have to have a firearms licence? Of course, a gas gun does fire small projectiles of various descriptions from a few hundred m/s to several hundred m/s. It achieves this by using compressed gas and a sabot. Higher velocities are possible using further modifications. There is no doubt being shot by a ball bearing moving at a few...

If I purchase a ticket for a journey from, say, Watford to Luton Airport, and, through sheer laziness, and not through act of God, riot, war, force majeure, mechanical failure, traffic delay or any such circumstance mentioned in the T and Cs, the driver terminates the journey at Luton Bus Station, thereby encumbering me with a change of service, unplanned baggage handling, and a consequent...
