    Visa debit cards failing repeatedly

    Same problem... I have also got the same problem with the new ATM cards. 3 failures in last 15 months - the most recent replacement failed within weeks. I have 2 credit cards in the same wallet but no problems with them. In all cases it is the chip not the mag stripe. No obvious physical damage...

    There is a useful (if not exactly written in "clear english") guide on the Revenues own site [broken link removed] However I believe some of the rules for residency have changed in 2009 Budget.

    You do keep the PAYE credit but that credit can only be applied to tax on PAYE income. It cannot be used to offset tax on other income.

    Battery for Dunnes caddy .

    Getting a new battery should not be a problem.... Try this company. I have used them successfully in the past. You might have to do a bit of digging to get an exact match to your battery. [broken link removed] Generally the battery is held in a cradle which will be a lot more difficult to get...

    O2 would not give the number to YOU. However they would give it to the Gardai in the event of a formal complaint.

    Period between death and probate

    Having done it several times I would certainly agree with Vanilla that being an Executor can be a thankless task and often unrewarding. However doing it yourself can save substantial sums of money as Solicitors can often charge a lot of money to settle estates. If you plan to do this yourself...

    Re: My fridge is too warm . 10 to 13 degrees - can it be fixed?

    Try the simple things first..... Make sure the light is turning off. To check this (without hiding in the fridge) leave the door closed for an hour and as soon as you open the door put your hand on the bulb/dome. If it is warm/hot to the touch then you have a problem with your sensor switch...

    Mobile contract

    Comreg have a call cost calculator which compares various packages. [broken link removed] However I don't think they take data or roaming into account. On roaming ... 3 were the only ones offering less than the european minimum rate. On data ... basically be prepared to pay through the nose...

    Potential Fraud??

    Does the letter contain his/your full MBNA CC account number? If yes then this is more likely to be a valid company. If no then almost certainly a scam. The possibility exists that someone has used his name / address to get a CC in their own right (identity theft). However, that would presume...

    Broadband but with no landline

    The Ripwave product from Irish Broadband ([broken link removed]) gives upto 2 mb access without a roof antenna. Costs about 27 euro per month. However it does have a higher contention ratio than some products (40:1) so that would be an issue at peak times.

    proof of no claims bonus

    The Financial Regulator is the person to complain to as they regulate both Insurance Companies and their Intermediaries. However a call/letter to your Insurance company will generate a quicker response. This is basically "sharp practice" by the Broker and the Insurance Company will not want the...

    123 Insurance

    They are a good company - in my experience - and certainly for House Insurance were generating some of the better quotes in the Irish Market a few years ago. I think they were originally closely tied to Hibernian but are now fully multi-agency. Given you are looking for quotes on Motor and...
