At lunchtime today, I went to a well-known electronics components shop to buy a USB Bluetooth dongle. They had only one left on the shelf in a cabinet, so I asked the salesman if I could have it - he said yes, and went to go and get the box for it. On top of the dongle, so clearly indicating to what it referred, was a price label, which read: Save £30! Was £59.99

As far as I'm aware some things like Child Support arrears, IR, C&E debts are not cancelled by bankruptcy. But what happens with things like court fines etc? Would they survive the bankruptcy too? And what happens if someone who is an undischarged bankrupt is fined whilst they are an undischarged bankrupt?

If you have requested information held about you, under the Data Protection Act, how long should it take for you to recieve the information. I have requested some information about myself, and I have been waiting over two weeks for at least an answer to my email requesting the information. (Its a long drawn out boring story). I haven't even had so much as an acknowledgement from the party that I...

I have an argument with my credit card company. Last July, Paycom started to charge $40 each month to my card. I travelt o the states a lot and thought it was something else. I finally realised this in January, and raised a query with the card company. They asked me to confirm it in writing, which I did. After hearing nothing, I called them and was told that Paycom had incorrectly given my card...

Just for anyone contemplating OR involved in a complaint against the Police at present. Someone I know spoke with the Home Office the other day and they accepted his argument that even under the IPCC regime *because most complaints are investigated by the Police themselves* they are NOT compliant with Article 13 of the Human Rights Act. The case to refer to is Govell -v- UK in the ECHR which...

This is a question related to a hypothetical, it does not relate to an actual case. The Question is: Can an invidual the comments of whom are quoted (or misquoted) in a publication potentialy libeling a third party also sue (for libel) the 'producer', editor or authour of said publication?

Apologies if this is not the correct place to post, but was hoping to get some advice...

Hi all. I'll try and be brief. Can someone tell me what the definition of theft is when applied to marriage? I'm currently going through a nasty divorce. I was married for just over two years and when we split I was effectively thrown out of the marriage home. Since then I've not been allowed back to collect any of my personal
