    Tracing A Clients New Address

    Last year I carried out some work for a client, who then didn't fully pay his bill. I took him to small claims court, where he did not respond to the claim, and so I won the case by default. On trying to enforce the payment, I have been informed today that an enforcement officer has visited the...

    Windows scam industry

    I would be careful with this approach. Once you start responding to these people, you get flagged as being "gullible", and they will start selling your details on, and targeting you with other scams. It's just like any other form of advertising, once you start to respond, you enter the sales...

    Marketing solution

    What kind of restaurant do you run? Your marketing choice is going to be driven by the demographic of your customers. Social media is absolutely ideal for restaurants, and it's hard to imagine using any other kind of advertising. Sadly though, it's only really popular with younger...

    Small Court Found In My Favour, What Now?

    Hi, thanks for the info so far. I have noticed something however which may affect the case. Unfortunately I have used a trading name, rather than the companies legal name on the paperwork.

    Small Court Found In My Favour, What Now?

    I recently took a client to the small claims court, over an unpaid invoice. The defender did not lodge any defence, and as a result the court found in my favour by default, and have sent me an extract for payment, saying I can claim the money, 8% interest, plus expenses. But what do I do now...

    Small Claims Court - Solicitor Required?

    Thanks TSO. How would I go about completing a sworn affidavit of service without using a solicitor? Wouldn't I need to use one to sign the affidavit?

    Small Claims Court - Solicitor Required?

    I have a customer who has not paid his bills, and as such I have decided to take him to the small claims court. After reading up on the procedures, I was under the impression that the use of a solicitor was optional, so I decided to proceed without one. I filed the papers last Friday, however...

    Stock management software

    Hi BreatGritain, A friend of mine also works in the IT Asset Disposal business, and found there were no decent products out there for tracking and stock auditing, at least not in his price range. He was in the process of getting some industry certifications, and as a requirement of these...

    Is there a "norm" when assigning fixed IP addresses

    What the previous posters have failed to mention is that there are only certain address spaces that are allowed to be used for internal networks. Every computer connected to the internet must have a unique IP address, and there are only so many addresses available. To prevent clashes, public...

    New Software Startup

    Hi DanSoftBridge, I'm in the same position as yourself. I am currently working full time, but I have just set up my own software company. I've been doing the occasional bit of freelance work over the last few years, but I've just signed a maintenance agreement with a customer to take over...

    Adsl v ethernet

    You cannot connect a laptop directly to broadband - you need a modem to manage the broadband connection. You need to buy either an ADSL Modem, or ADSL Router. An ADSL Modem will manage the broadband connection, and connect to your PC, either by USB or Ethernet. Alternatively you can buy an...

    Joint Business - In My Name Or A Holding Company?
