    Yell contract mis sold and can't cancel

    Bethany - you don't say if you are a sole trader or limited company? There is some debate that sole traders or individuals have consumer rights if its under £25k - its all to do with the contract you signed basically. If that contract denies you the right as a self employed or sole trader to...

    Why do banks use 'working days'?

    This is getting hard work!! Staff oversee these and the level of staff is such that its done within 'normal working hours'. Just because you are told that everything is instant aint quite so. Most payments leaving your account are around and available for banking staff to see ahead of time -...

    Do invoices need to say INVOICE at the top?

    Perhaps a slightly dim member of staff doesn't have the gumption to understand when something is an invoice and something is a delivery note/remittance advise. Just because you know what it is, doesn't mean everyone will, therefore to avoid anyone saying they didn't realise as it didn't say...

    Ring your bank and ask them!! As I said, debit cards = automated - everything else = humans!

    Trends & predictions for 2019

    I had to google flat design - then I laughed!! Yes you need a site that loads fast - don't care though what kind it is and neither does google - and then you need a site that keeps people on it - as GGG (great god google) understands that the content is relevant so its worth keeping an eye on...

    Why do banks use 'working days'?

    Did you see a smiley face throughout my post? The Monday morning dd was done on Friday - you are aware that timed events such as dd and so's show on your account some 3 days before coming out and that funds are earmarked ahead of time? Hence when you go to cancel them online you are informed...

    Why do banks use 'working days'?

    Ok so this is based on banking experience of some years ago - but knowing how quickly they change <cough> they probably still have this going on. Using debit cards needs no human interaction - if you go over your overdraft limit - you are charged, so using them means then are not stopped by...

    WooCommerce Shipping Plugin

    Yes Woo does, but despite the videos and the long diatribes on the internet - they write it in double dutch or show it in gooblydigook - perhaps intentional to make you pay someone. I had actually set it up correctly, but there was a cache issue which meant it didn't accept Zone 1 as free and...

    Why is there flexibility in the account you can use?

    You can be registered for VAT before you hit the threshold. You would do this if it was tax efficient to the product/item/service/market/type of business. There are too many variables to give a straight forward answer to much of what you ask. A family man with three children and a wife, and a...

    Show of hands please...

    Middle - easier for brain to process and read - left makes me make an effort and I'm very lazy and busy (oxymoron I know).
