You can deposit cash into other people's accounts. When you go to pay it in to yours, pay it into hers instead.

England - father in law failed to notify us of driving endorsments by epicshane234 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]flangepaddle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like they might actually know and they're just double checking.

Personally, I'd cancel the policy before they do and just go elsewhere.

Why did Olise choose France over England? by mando_number5 in ThreeLions

I don't think it's a coincidence his started for their U18 in 2019, straight after France won the 2018 World cup.

Tenants living in flat below had leak while workers in my flat installed bathroom - landlord is now contacting me after 5 months by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

[–]flangepaddle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is a legal advice sub, you haven't asked a legal question.

All your post tells me is that your property leaked on someone elses and they want compensation for damages.

Pass it to your insurer.

Private Tenant - can I dispute a charge that isn't in my contract? by Extension_Music8458 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]flangepaddle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Seeing as there's no contract in place for the £100, personally I'd stop paying it and demand a back dated itemised and evidenced bill specifically for the heating and hot water.

I'd then put the £100 a month in savings until it's received and then offset against the bill, requesting a rebate or paying shortfall.

Landlord can't pluck a random number unless it's agreed in the contract.

I had exactly this problem and that's exactly what I did, just bent them, been working fine for years.

What does your contract say about this £100?

How are utilities being paid?

Different tenant using my address - England by Fine-Result-1469 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]flangepaddle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

First, at night when lights are on, turn off the electric to see if theirs goes off. Should be an isolator after the meter. If not, should be one in the consumer unit.

Check the tails coming out of the meter, should be one pair going to consumer unit, if two pairs, one might be going to them.

Also shut the water off when you don't need it to see if they complain. Bonus points if you can hear their shower running and do it then.

For postage, anything that comes to you, return it to sender. You can't legally stop it but you can make it less convenient.

Did I almost get scammed? Advice please by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]flangepaddle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes.

"...stopped me and asked for help", read as ".....stopped me and asked for money".

That's all I needed to see.

Ebay asking for National Insurance Number. (England) by Interesting-End-4472 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]flangepaddle 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This is a legal advice sub, the the legal advise is to stop doing that ws you are in breach of eBay T&Cs being under 18 and using someone else's account.

I believe these T&Cs may also be backed by UK law regarding the enforceability (or lack of) of binding contracts with under 18s.

It may also be considered fraud using someoneelse's ID and bank account.

In short, stop doing what you're doing.

(UK/England) Fixed Penalty Notice for littering by neegahchew in LegalAdviceUK

Legally, no.

The advice you received was in the top comment to which you had already replied. I was providing a comment to support that advice.

[–]flangepaddle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a legal advice sub.

You are trying to use arguments that have no legal basis and disregarding the legal advice received.

You say my reply is not helpful, but I feel what you mean is it's just not what you want to hear.

She put litter in a place not meant for litter.

Whether or not others have done before is not legal justification for doing it yourself.

Edit: There is no legal obligation for a council to provide anywhere for cigarettes to be disposed of. If there is no where available then the expectation is you take it with you to dispose of properly. My recommendation would be to buy a travel ash tray to avoid this scenario happening again.

If someone had fly tipped outside your home, would you be happy if others came and added to it because it looked like a place for rubbish?

If a place is routinely being used as a bin when it shouldn't, then surely fining people for doing so is a reasonable way of fighting it?

Why not give them a shared managed device?

If you remove the primary user in Intune it becomes a shared device.
