Hi, I would be grateful for some help about this issue as I have really reached the "end of my tether". We had a fitted bedroom designed and supplied by MFI earlier this year. We gave them the measurements and they designed and supplied the units in flat packs for me to fit. During the fitting I discovered that the units when fitted were longer than the room! This fact is not in dispute. My...

wrote: Hello, It used to be that you could get copies of the electoral register and I heard that celebrities would not vote because stalkers could track them down from the register, but I don't know if that's true! I thought that by law you had to register? Surely you cannot exempt yourself because you are a spice girl?

I am sole executor in the will of an elderly relative who is currently in a nuring home. There is no property in the estate. Will I need the services of a solicitor, assuming the instructions of the will are straightforward? Thanks for any advice/comments.

I have looked this up on the DVLA website but find the information confusing. Some paragraphs suggest that they stay on a licence for three years, and yet others suggest four years! Can anyone clarify when each actual speeding offence does not count towards the dreaded 12 points ban? Thanks, Chrisssss........

I've been reading a thread on this group that discusses the "moral issues" related to cutting potential beneficiaries out of a will. I have some practical experience and feel able to offer advice. Forget morals. Think of what the practical consequences of your actions will be before you act. If you cut somebody out of a will then there will be trouble for those you intend to benefit UNLESS you...

Simple question, is there a maximum age at which one may be adopted? Harder question, are there any downsides to being adopted? Presumably it makes inheritance easier.

"People accused of sexual offences could be placed on the sex offenders register before they appear in court, a senior police officer has suggested. Deputy Chief Constable Robert Ovens of the Association of Chief Police Officers in Scotland (Acpos) said it was an idea which should be explored." http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/4199634.stm So, his idea is that you go on a new kind of sex...

I am renting a large house from a private landlord on an assured shorthold tenancy. In February of this year, a car crashed through the wall causing a large amount of damage to several rooms. Although the landlord filled in the hole in the wall on the day after the accident, he has not yet made any other repairs despite repeated requests. Despite having buildings insurance, he is trying to claim...

My partner was offered a contract of employment with a major bank which she accepted. The contract was only conditional on satisfactory references. She was told verbally that she must have a bank account with the same bank into which her salary would be paid. Although my partner has a good credit rating which we have verified with all three credit agencies, no CCJs and has two existing bank...

When the police arrest somebody "on suspicion", do they have to show the arrestee any witness statements they have? If so, at what point - immediately (they're available); before interview; before charge; or only if requested? Also, can the police *require* a witness to make a statement? -- Mike

I'm attempting to complete an allocation questionnaire but I'm a bit stuck on a couple of the questions. In part 'E' (Trial or Final Hearing) how does one estimate how long the hearing will take and what are the consequences of getting it wrong? Is it better to err on the high or low side? In part 'F' (Proposed Directions) what type thing should be listed? Exchange of Witness Statements? ...

When I asked someone who is allegedly in the "Directors' Office" of a certain (nameless) utility company if they were really allowed to claim money allegedly owed over six years ago, the reply was that they were. I asked the person to put that in writing and, to my astonishment, she did. This is what she wrote: "Public Utility Companies were historically exempt from the six year statute of...

Hi, At the beginning of August I placed an order online for some small computer, (CD's/DVD's and so on). Having used the company before I was quite happy to give them my details. My account was promptly debited and then...nothing. No email, no delivery, nothing. I sent a few emails asking where my order was...still no replies, no

Hello, My mother had one of those fixed term life insurance policies which pays a sum at the end of the term if you don't die. The company closed all their local offices and went to a central call centre only solution. This made it difficult to make the payments (no collector, no local office to pay at, won't take payments from credit cards etc), so mum decided to surrender the policy. The...

My Father had a ramp built at the front of their house for my disabled Mother's wheelchair. They were on very good terms with the neighbours and took up 6 inches of the neighbours garden for the ramp. Fast forward 9 years, the original neighbour moved those 9 years ago and new ones moved in. Now these new neighbours want some recompense for the 6 inches.

So that you can see them before pulling up at the pumps. There is a petrol station near me, who always overcharge, but the recent price hikes have resulted in the cost of fuel at this place being 104.9, but as the indicators only have three figures, they were unable to display the price. I was under the impression that the law required petrol stations to show the prices clearly.
