Landshark: daryl1987: Classy. Worry about your own finances rather than condemning other people. (And yes, I can already predict the reply to this post, and i'm not interested in arguing whether or not this is a victory for the consumer or not!) Precisely this kind of attitude is why we are all up the creek without a paddle now. My own ...

backfoot: I have benefitted from free banking since I was around 18 and the judgment may well change that position in the months/years to come. I don't share the view that the people penalised by punitive charges shouldn't have brought their case. There is an overall pot of services supplied by the banks in administering their ...

Landshark: This was my biggest fear realised. Ultimately, we all stand to loose as it is inevitable that FREE current accounts will be withdrawn. Those who have kept good accounts for years will be penalised for the actions of those who do not. The situation is further exacerbated by the 'direct debit' culture that forces people to ...

durster2006: If it's true I stand corrected. A friend of mine says he can get hold of a thing called a Turbo sim, Which will make all the features work (bar visual voicemail). im waiting on one to arrive. As far as I'm aware (Although I'm not sure of the legality of it) you don't even need that. It's possible to unlock it ...

durster2006: Not worth gettin it unlocked. half the features wont work. If u want an Iphone just get it the normal way. At least you know everything will work (visual voicemail, youtube, email ect). It's down to £169 @ cpw now. and the tarrifs are much better. £35 for 60 mins and 500 texts and that includes unlimited data. ...

Business mileage is classed as driving to other places of work other than one fixed place. Driving to one single workplace every day is classed as commuting as should be included in your standard annual mileage. Business mileage is only required if you require business insurance.

Alot of insurance companies at the moment are quoting based on the youngest driver anyway, so even if you are the main driver you'll probably be looking at a very high premium. Do a simple search of "young driver" insurance and you'll find a number of posters have recommendations with regards to insuring a young driver. ...

shiverkitten: daryl1987: That, to me atleast, seems to indicate that these insurers deem it unfair or are atleast aware enough to realise that this will cause more trouble than it's worth. I think you will find it is only the latter point that gives the insurers pause. God preserve us from being skittles under the wheels of nacroleptic ...

blueTooth: No I'm not an underwriter, just a member of the public. The logic is simple, underwriters single out most things that they deem to be a risk to safe driving. If an underwriter deems that having children in the car that can be noisy, kick the back of the drivers chair, throw themselves around the back fighting, be sick or any other ...

blueTooth: daryl1987: blueTooth: They're a private company and they can impose any rule they like. The beauty of a free-market economy is that you can go elsewhere if you dont like their terms and conditions. And as for "discrimination"? What a load of rubbish, they are perfectly within their rights to impose rules based on what ...
