I was looking for a new insurance provider after having problems with my current one. Can anyone recommend a good insurance provider with low premiums and which won't delay/count the pennies if it ever comes to a claim? Also do you guys have any suggestions on how to get cheaper premiums? Like is it worth trying to go back and forth between companies, saying "Company X offered this deal which is...

Back in November I received a letter from a firm of solicitors asking for the whereabouts of a man I used to live with. I told them I do not have a forwarding address. This week I received a letter from this firm of solicitors addressed to my ex. I telephoned them and asked why they were again writing to him at my address. They said they had carried out a credit check on him and it showed that...

I read up and down the group that ebay contracts are not exactly well defined in uk law and was wondering if there is a resource where I could understand exactly what is a legal ebay contract and what is not. A legal contract has to be struck at some point along the auction event chain, just noone seems to be able to put their neck on the line and say where that point lies, or at what point the...

Maybe someone can explain this to me as I am thick. Last week I had a buglery and my car was also broken into in the early hours of the morning ( 3.00 am ish) I reported it immediately I found out. I rang the police and I rang the sentinel insurance and cancelled all my cards within half an hour of finding out and before the shops opened that Sunday morning. .. I then rang all the card...

While staying at my former accommodation, I accidentally damaged a carpet by staining it with shoe polish. Since the stains didn't go away, I told my landlord I'd be paying for a new carpet when I left. I left five weeks ago, and on that day my landlord told me he'd get back to me after the holidays to give me a price for the carpet. Since early January he came up with various excuses whenever I...

Our mother died almost 2 years ago leaving her 4 children the family home, to be shared equally. I don't have a copy of the will but I believe that it simply states that the property is to be shared equally (i.e. it doesn't state explicitly that the property is to be sold and the proceeds to be divided equally). Now the eldest (one of the two executors) would like to have her share of the house...

Hello everyone My grandmother died recently, with her will bequeathing her estate equally between my mother and aunt. My mother (generously!) has decided that the inheritance should skip a generation, and I should be the beneficiary of her share. (This share comes under the limit for IHT.) We'd like to construct a Deed of Variation for my grandmother's will, transferring my mother's share to...

Is a contract document that requires a witnessed signature valid if this document has been signed without the witness being present ? Also is the document valid if the witnesses signature is not a personal name, just a company name and address with no signature? Thanks
