Whilst I was away on holiday, my 'difficult' son took the keys to my car and took it for a joy-ride in the middle of the night. He fortunately did not kill himself or anyone else, but he did wrap it round a lamp-post, and it looks like the car is a write-off. It was worth around 9,000 Pounds or so. He is still 16. My insurance policy would cover this loss, subject to the following...

I need to design a magazine advert for a friend's business. She would like to use various one line quotations from journals, authors, websites in the body of the advert, including a reference to show from where the quotation has been taken.

The local university has just completed construction of a giant block of flats near my house. They are now looking to rent it. They have put a billboard advertising accommodation on the road, one meter out on the road adjacent to double yellow lines. It was there for about a week. The police and the council were notified about this and neither had done anything about it a week later. ...

wrote in message ... Does the post of the British monarch's Vice-Gerent in Spirituals, held by Thomas Cromwell from 1535, now vacant, or has it been abolished? No, I've got it. There are no duties - never were, in fact - but that's just as well because the money is crap. Well, more non-existent. I do have the right to keep...

No response on ukl, so re-posting to uklm. This is a real-life situation, and I would appreciate any replies to the questions. One thing I did not mention before is that the tenants are French - I do not believe that this makes any difference to the legalities of the situation, but I mention it now just in case (there is no language problem). A friend of mine finds himself in an unpleasant...

Advice needed: I have recently filed a Warrant of Execution against my bank, having failed to pay a court Judgement. I learned today that yesterday, on application to the court, they were successfully granted a stay, pending them applying for the judgement to be set aside. I was under the impression that I could disagree with the granting of any Stay/suspension of the Warrant before the Judge...

Today I went in to a convenience store to buy credit for my mobile phone. As my top up swipe card would not work on the shops machine, I purchased credit on a voucher, where you call and input the number printed on the receipt. However, the shopkeeper gave me credit for Virgin mobile, when I had clearly asked for Vodafone. I only noticed this mistake after paying (as the shopkeeper did not hand...

Can they still take the payment at any point in the future? OK OK, I know I should own up and most likely will but just wanted to know if there is a period after which they can't just take the payment without warning. What's my position? Not...

I ordered tickets on-line to a gig at Wembley Arena today and in the description of the seats, it failed to mention they are crap, so far at the side of the stage they're nearly behind it :( The Terms and Conditions say no refunds , exchange etc so I don't hold out much hope they will exchange them for better ones. Is it possible I can cancel the purchase through Barclaycard? TIA

My current ISP is one of the few (if not the only) ISPs left that promoted their products as "unlimited" With the advent of MaxDSL, and subsequent revamp of product line however, they now have changed the wording slightly to say "unlimited downloads*" or, further on into the signup proces it states "Monthly usage allowance - Unlimited* " Note the asterix in both cases? This refers to a "fair...

My father has just passed away and I am executor to his will. Its quit straight forward, he had very few assests and everything goes to my mum. I don't think I will need to get a "Grant" fro the Probate Registry as most things are in joint names, if I did the Probate Registry would keep the will. What I want to know is what do I do with the will when I have completed all the transactions and...

I am writing this simply to get the opinion of the group before I start proceedings, so I am laying out the particulars. Any and all advice is appreciated.
