    New Year, Old Debts!

    Came across a useful tool on our local solicitor's website that I thought might be worth sharing with people on here... It's a free thing that generates a debt recovery letter in line with correct legal protocol. I have used it twice this week to chase up some debts that were lingering from...

    Personal Use of a Trademark?

    Funnily enough, most of my haulage work is between Salford and Devon. I bring Ambrosia custard up from devon and take Oasis CDs back the other way. Sorry, can't think of anything else that comes from Manchester. :) Does anyone actually have a more serious answer? ;) Andy

    Old debt returns - Concerned

    Thanks for giving an opinion from the moral high ground, but I think I will take my chances and write to say that I have no knowledge of this debt and see what happens (if anything). I can't see what I have to lose. Incidentally, Jonathan, you have (on a public forum) admitted to having a...

    Old debt returns - Concerned

    Fair enough, I can argue the toss all day with them, but why knock on my door after four years? Do debt collection companies go through the 'old debt' files of banks and buy the ones that they feel are worth chasing, or do the bank sell these off after so many years? Just not sure why they...

    Old debt returns - Concerned

    What do I do when an old debt returns from four years ago? I was in dispute with my bank for the paltry sum of £400 worth of charges, and in the end I told them to get lost and changed to another bank. They never pursued the case any further, but this morning I got a letter from a debt...

    Beware of rabbit holes!

    So there he was, happily travelling across his field, when suddenly he comes across a bit of a hole...... http://www.fwi.co.uk/assets/getAsset.aspx?ItemID=6647 ;) Andy

    my posts are being deleted without warning or explanation?

    I don't think the mods have got the time to explain why every single post has been deleted. I would imagine that you broke some forum rules, or maybe they viewed your post as spam. Unfortunately, we can't make a judgement cos....it's been deleted ;)

    How do I launch a new product / service?

    No worries. Do you think that tele-marketing really works then? I always imagined that the telephone calls like that are fielded by the receptionists and never get through to those who make the decisions, or maybe I have not understood the way it should be used. Andy

    How do I launch a new product / service?

    Wow, some good feedback there, I can certainly see where I would need to get someone in to help with this as I am a bit out of my depth here it seems. For example, I don't even know what andy was referring to when he wrote about 'getting in a good TM company' (Is that tele-marketing?)...

    How do I launch a new product / service?

    Hi everyone, been away for ages re-jigging my business. :) I have decided to start a new b2b business on the back of my existing hire company, it will be aimed at bigger companies rather than the smaller one-man-bands that I have traditionally dealt with. Not knowing much about marketing...

    Car accident - what next?

    Stick a neck support on straight away and wear it constantly. Moan like hell at any time you are in a public place. Tell everyone that the pain is unbearable. Practice that painful expression in the mirror at least 4 times each day. Go see a solicitor when you are ready! Sue the...

    Is this aircraft safe?

    Qantas Airlines gripes & fixes: After every flight, Quantas pilots fill out a form, called a "gripe sheet," which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the form, & then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next...
