    Insurance Claim What Are My Rights

    As above - speak to your insurers and they will usually offer you a cash settlement (as a guideline expect to see a 15-30% reduction in the value of your claim by choosing a cash settlement) at the discounted price they obtain items for. This is perfectly acceptable and has been tested by the...

    Insurance claim - no proof of prurchase

    It would be fine, until they do a bit of digging and discover you're friends on facebook and you forgot to mention it (an off topic tip - if you're going to commit insurance fraud, it's not a good idea to put a public message on facebook asking people for receipts so you can claim extra...

    Insurance claim - no proof of prurchase

    Working for an insurer, dealing with household claims, I'd be a lot more suspicious of someone with a reciept from 'a mate' than someone being honest and saying they haven't got proof of purchase, explaining why and offering photos.

    Scorecard (greetings card? printing)

    Hi, I need short-run printing for a personal project. I'm not sure exactly what the most accurate product type is for this but I need an A6 (so A5 folded in half to make an A6 portrait card) scorecard. Artwork would be in Adobe Indesign. Needs to be on card stock. Cheapest quote I've had so...

    Sick Note - Not Accepted By Work

    I'm not sure if you're talking about my friend? she spent 30 minutes on the phone the other day being passed between various people and didn't manage to get it sorted. She can get it done, but it seems to be a case of spending time sorting it, and at the moment she doesn't even want to think...

    Sick Note - Not Accepted By Work

    Hi, My friend recently had an ectopic pregnancy and was given a sick note for a week by the nurse. When the hospital doctor reviewed this before she was discharged, he changed it to 2 weeks by crossing out the original 1 week and putting 2 weeks in. Her employer have now told her it has not...

    signed for parcel but 'not' received

    It's very unlikely to be enforceable as a contract condition - the buyers contract is with you, your contract is with the courier. RMG will not (to my knowledge) even deal with the recipient of an item that has gone missing as they have no contract with that person.

    Office Space in Portsmouth

    Just wondering if anyone had any ideas on office space in Portsmouth (or a room they were willing to rent out cheaply). The cheapest I've found is in Cosham (£45pw) which I'm going to look in to, but I thought I'd put it out here. Initially at least, most of the time I'll be needing the space...

    Well numbergroup have been going for a while and seem really good, I've just signed up there. To change the DNS: http://www.gbbo.co.uk/help/yourquestions/mywebaddress/dns/ (I haven't used GBBO myself so can't be certain it works)

    Free 0800 number + .co.uk domain! TOTALLY FREE!!!

    The second one doesn't have to be google sites - you can adjust the DNS and the nameservers yourself - it's supported by a coalition of companies at Getting British Business Online edit: And I guess the first is Numbergroup? (lots more than just freefone numbers) - which looks really good

    Despatch Express Service Codes

    I'm guessing this is something to do with VAT - we had a letter regarding not being able to order certain smartstamp services as of the 1st of February (eg 9am Special Delivery and some international services) until they had fixed smartstamp to use the correct VAT setup.

    EZEEPEEZE.co, time to spill the beans.

    This is what I can't get my head around. It's a good idea I'm sure, but if you can get an xbox for £100, you'd make much, much more money selling them for £120 new. regardless of if you have 140 lines, the same still applied. You'd make more money selling them directly than you would in this...

    EZEEPEEZE.co, time to spill the beans.

    Why would you bid on the £6 one when there's one at £93? If you can obtain xboxes for £100 what's to stop someone with bigger buying power (play.com?) obtaining them for £100 and selling them direct for £110. I know which I'd prefer in that situation.

    There's no need to be so pessimistic ;) I'm sure he can, otherwise the business model falls down.
