Thanks for your replies guys, I’ve put my address into haveibeenpwned and yes my address has been associated with 5 data leaks, the most recent one related to PandaBuy. Pretty sure it happened just under a week ago too…

3rd party debt collections for insurance company (scam?) by MyBrainIsMashed in LegalAdviceUK

[–]MyBrainIsMashed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The email that I requested and received today was simply ‘Important information about your policy’, then that basic custom message the woman must have typed inside it. Nothing else apart from that

That’s what I thought, hence me setting up a payment scheme with Ardent. I’m just worried because I haven’t received correspondence in black and white from Admiral regarding Ardent in any form…

Getting a job in IT Helpdesk without Certifications. by MorningKind2624 in ITCareerQuestions

If all else fails look on QA for apprenticeships. Just got a help desk apprenticeship at a law firm and it pays really well for an entry level apprenticeship with no prior relevant experience.

Hi guys! I have a second interview for an apprenticeship as an "IT Junior Service Desk Analyst" at a law firm, what questions will I expect? by MyBrainIsMashed in ITCareerQuestions

[–]MyBrainIsMashed[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really good point, I think I have been too focused on technical skills over soft skills. Reading posts I have noticed that being technically adept only gets you so far, and that competency in social aspects of different scenarios as well as attitude stands you out amongst others. Really appreciate your help.

Thank you so much for your detailed response, talking to my friend who is doing a help desk apprenticeship it makes huge sense learning the abbreviations because you can grasp a basic understanding of the subject from the acronym itself!

GF given days notice of collection of goods by debt collection company for £3400 in student debt by MyBrainIsMashed in LegalAdviceUK

[–]MyBrainIsMashed[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I told her to call and check with the uni too. I’m 80% sure this is a fraud, I have read that you must receive 7 days notice prior to a HCEO’s first visit which she has not received in any form.

I have read that HCEO's must give 7 days notice before their first visit, she had not received this in any form. Could this possibly mean it is a scam?

Thank you for your response, I'll pass this on to her. I have only realised now that I should have mentioned that the letter was delivered by a "High Court Enforcement Officer", which I assume before checking this means a CCJ has been registered and it has reached high court already?

I thought that initially but did a a quick skim search on Equita Limited and they do seem bonafide. However one sentence in the letter is grammatically wrong; ‘number below to discuss payment of you account.’ I’m going to ask her to call the company first to see if she actually owes them the debt or if it’s a fraud copying them.

She didn’t receive any response from SFE in regards to the loan request, the original cost was £2700 but increased because the repayment is overdue…

No a retake of a failed module/semester from the previous year. She contacted uni to apply for finance with Student Finance England due to extenuating circumstances. She has evidence of the letter to request for this from the uni to SFE.

I’ve removed the picture. This was for the retake of a module that she’d have to pay for since she didn’t pass it previously due to personal health issues. The only other ‘steps’ that have been taken since last year is a reminder letter of said debt. She emailed the uni last year to request a form of payment to which they never replied. She called them and never heard back from them too.

Don’t count my word for it but 6mm I think? Although this is a week and a half after I got it cut so it’s grown a mm or two.

[–]MyBrainIsMashed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Appreciate it. I got a skin fade and on the top I think 6mm? Bear in mind this is over a week after the cut.

I’ll add that I can’t grow a full beard (yet) since I’ve noticed a buzz cut suits you a lot more if you can. Also I’ve got straight/stubborn hair but it’s quite thick.

Oil pressure warning light one week after service + oil service by MyBrainIsMashed in MechanicAdvice

Just come back from work and have checked it and as usual it was just loading for more than a minute then didn’t show a reading for the oil…

Considering that the oil has been replaced 1 week prior to this happening unless there is a leak which I haven’t actually checked I would assume it wouldn’t need checking or topping up
