If I make a complaint re a mis-sold endowment policy in the mid 1980s is the insurance company likely to get in contact with their sales adviser who retired some 20 years ago?

I just tried to pay my British Gas bill onliine, but had to abandon the payment because the Clicksafe form came from British Gas, not from the card issuer.

Gordon Brown is to try to win back Labour’s core supporters with a pledge to give priority on housing waiting-lists to local residents.

During a delivery today I was paying the driver using my credit card and gave my Chip and Signature card. He insisted on phoning the depot and I paid over the phone. I was told that if he accepted a chip and signature card the charges were 3% more than for a chip and PIN card. Anyone able to confirm or deny that banks are charging more for businesses that accept chip and sig cards?

I can't make sense of the logic with the forms this year; perhaps someone could shed some light....

I hope someone can advise me about my mother's income tax self assessment for 08-09 where one of her financial statements has an entry for on UK Government stock.

Is there an explanation for this negative interest and how is it entered on the SA return?

Company officially announced today that there would be redundancies in the next month. I currently dont have a mortgage protection policy and noticed that most of them stipulate a 90/120 day wait period if you're 'aware' of being made redundant. I guess if I'm redundant this time around, I've had it even if I start a policy today but I guess it could be OK for maybe 6 months down the line.

I'm trying to work out whether taking out a loan (3k-5k) to buy a car a month or two ahead of applying for a mortgage is a bad idea. Other things being equal, how will a lender treat an outstanding (unsecured) loan? Will they reduce the loan amount? Will they ignore it?

When I went into Barclays and complained about changing the interest...
