    Solicitor making veiled threats

    You need to get all the facts together for the solicitor you are going to meet. - Who had access to the account? - Can a log of account access be obtained from Google? - What were the charges actually for? - Who entered into the adwords contract? - What do Google say about it? If there was...

    Business Phone & Broadband Services

    What are the alternatives to Eircom for business phone-lines and broadband. Up to now I have persevered with Eircom because they own the lines. However, I think now is time for a change. Also, can I take my fixed IP address with me if I sign up for broadband with somebody else?

    Meteor kept money they owed to me

    Same here jaykayphd. The minimum term of the contract was well exceeded by the time I terminated the contract. I contacted ComReg. They said they could only deal with it as a complaint about customer services. That is not my complaint. My complaint was they may be keeping people's...

    Meteor kept money they owed to me

    I am not surprised that I am not the only one this happened to. The fact that I was put on hold for 5 minutes was what made me suspicious. It reminded me of the complaints processes operated by others to frustrate you and tire you out. The appropriate regulator should make the mobile phone...

    Meteor kept money they owed to me

    I terminated my bill-pay account with Meteor last April. It has come to my attention that my account was €20 in credit. Presumably they took money by direct debit in advance or something. Anyway, they are sending the money to me now that I rang them about it. The first time I rang I...

    Anti Money Laundering Training

    Does anybody know of a good course to send a book-keeper on in relation to anti-money laundering compliance? We are a professional services firm and our book-keeper is not a qualified accountant. She is reliable, accurate and conscientious. I would like her to be trained as to the basic dos...

    Solicitor Fees

    @gallagl3 I take no responsibility for the following comments. If you want real legal advice, go to a real legal practitioner or talk to the law society. It possibly comes down to two things: 1. What the solicitor said to you in the meeting. If he said his fees would be €1,750 he is most...

    Statute barred

    If the solicitor has accepted that they are liable for part of the fine then the statute of limitations may run from the date if the letter, i.e. the date on which the debt was acknowledged. However, you should check this with another solicitor. If I were your parents and didn't want to sue...

    Solicitors secretary told my neighbour about my confidential court case

    Not a great thought Darth - the other side could possibly say that the OP is responsible for the actions of his solicitor (+his secretary) as the OP's servant/agent. He should tell the solr and leave it up to him what course to take in the OP's best interest. If he makes a balls of it then...

    Solicitors secretary told my neighbour about my confidential court case

    Your solicitor will definitely want to know about this. I would say the secretary will certainly be fired. She probably is telling her boyfriend about other cases so I would feel no guilt about it.

    Master of the High Court on debt issues and forgiveness

    Is this guy the brother of the Governor of The Central Bank? The Master of the High Court seems to think it is his place to recommend new legislation. It strikes me that this position should be rotated or there should be more than one master. The same should apply to the official assignee in...

    Probate Issue in relation to Joint Accounts.

    Asked publican to cater soup&sandwitches for 60. No price agreed, invoiced for €1k!

    She could tell the publican she did not agree to that price. She could say she only asked for one sambo and one soup per person. She could tell the publican either he accepts what she is willing to pay (i.e. gives her a receipt in full settlement) or he can sue her for it and they can fight...

    Disagree with the new pension levy

    My first concern is how much my pension administrators will charge me for paying this tax. They charge me plenty for doing absolutely nothing other than mirroring the markets. This is not a skill worth paying for in my book. In my view, the tax relief for pension contributions is a massive...

    Purchasing Office Equipment

    @Joe We already have a certain amount of redundancy with lower capacity desk-top machines. These can get you through a crisis but are not adequate otherwise. We do not have the floor space to house multiple large machines.

    Purchasing Office Equipment

    @mpsox The advice we received previously was that buying was more economical if you intend using the machine for a good few years. That has been our experience to date. It is one of the reasons why reliability and service are major issues for me. @Complainer I know what I want in terms of...

    Credit Card Fraud

    Cheers dereko1969. Listening to Moneybox on BBC Radio 4 it appears they have a much better system. Over there, the bank has to give benefit of doubt and refund money and thereafter prove negligence if they want to take it again. Their Ombudsman rules in favour of consumer in more than 50% of...
