Hi, I've just handed back the keys to a property I've been renting for the past 2 and a half years. The Shelter website suggests that I should receive interest on the deposit, but I suspect that the letting agent will try and deny that they need to pay this to me. The tenancy agreement doesn't say anything about interest in respect of deposits.

Hi, Can someone point me towards the relevant law regarding email - especially what, if any, disclaimer should be attached to each email emanating from my company? I must admit to a dislike of those huge waivers, generally longer than the contents, after many emails I receive, but would like to know if there is much point in our (small) company using them....and if so is there some nice...

The local solicitor's has a legal executive who will assist in doing the forms and filing them for a fee.( I know I could...

I only use a mobile phone occasionally and a £10 top-up can last about 8 or 9 weeks. The battery died on my old handset and I was told a new one would be £20 or, "For just £10 more, you could have a brand-new all-singing, all-dancing handset on 3 (when bought with £15 of airtime)". So I went for the new handset - who wouldn't? It was only when I got it home and was charging the battery and...

How will the police distinguish. I could have a glass of wine with my...

I have received a letter from the Inland Revenue (in Durham, which is not my tax office) saying that they have information that I am in receipt of undisclosed income. I've tried to phone to find out about it, but they are always engaged. In the meantime, what's the protocol here? Do they have to tell me what income they think I have or am I supposed to guess? I only have the one job which is...

I was wondering. Having purchased DVDs on ebay, I paid the seller £20 to ship from Beijing. Should I then be liable for import tax of £19, or should the seller have covered this? There was no mention of any tax in the auction thanks in advance
