I’ve just received a supposed notification from HMRC that I am eligible for a £225 refund.
The HMRC logo is at the top, there is a picture of a stack of pound coins down the side and there is a link at the bottom of the email which I am required to click to process a ‘Tax […]

From the 1st of July, BT introduced a discount for customers paying by direct debit or Monthly Payment Plan.
This discount will run for 18 months from the 1st of July to December 2008.

I started experiencing a few problems with my trusty laptop lately and thought I better look into a back-up or replacement.

Genuine Windows Vista
1yr collect and return.

I haven’t written about this until now because I ran the risk of venting on page but I have finally received a long overdue commission cheque.

The cheque comes from one of the price comparison sites […]

I was approached by a company last year regarding advertising on their online business directory. I’m not going to name the company concerned as it would be quite embarrassing for them and wouldn’t help me much either.
Let me explain why: The offer was a 2 month free trial campaign whereby they were to replace existing […]

I recently had to arrange an overdraft facility for my business account. To cut a long story short, a 2 month trial for a 12 month marketing campaign was so unresponsive I chose not to go ahead and not to start making the required monthly payments.

This is affecting people […]
