    Only 6 months warranty on electrical items?

    Thanks Staples, I do appreciate the opposite argument, but I am simply asserting that, in the absence of any abuse of the charger (and the shop has inspected it and confirmed (a) it does not work anymore, and (b) its failure MAY have been due to a power surge, so there is no suggestion of...

    Only 6 months warranty on electrical items?

    But equally, based on the facts, it was purchased less than 12 months ago, it was brought back to the shop where it was bought where it was confirmed that it did not work anymore, and where the seller suggested that its failure was caused by a power surge, often caused by power showers! It was...

    Only 6 months warranty on electrical items?

    So, from all this, and from advice from a friendly solicitor ("...you should certainly be entitled to make a case for a replacement..." - (a little 'sit-on-the-fence!)), am I right in assuming that through no misuse whatsoever, if teh charger failed to work inside twelve months from original...

    Only 6 months warranty on electrical items?

    I bought a laptop for my son last summer (less than 12 months ago) and his charger has died. He brought it back to the shop but was told that the warranty on chargers was only 6 months, and that it was likely that a "power surge" in the house had caused it to quit, probably caused by a power...

    Registering Share Transfer

    A Form B10 is sent to the CRO, not Revenue. Revenue may request a copy in certain circumstances, but only if the B10 has not yet been filed at the CRO and they need to see any changes, but this is unusual.

    Shareholder's Agreements

    I think if you are happy to prepare a draft that covers all anticipated scenarios to your satisfaction, and both you and your primary business partner are content with it (usually because each of you is treated equally), then print it and both of you sign two copies, and give each other a...

    UK to lift Northern Rock Deposit Guarantee

    What would be a safe option then for a deposit holder with more than 100k, say 400k (not me, sadly, just a hypothetical query), currently sitting securely with NR? Split it up and invest in a number of savings accounts?

    Hyundai Getz - will a 2007 door fit a 2003 car?

    Anyone know for sure if a replacement front passenger door from a 2007 Getz will fit a 2003 model (both 5 door hatches)? Cannot put them together to see as one is miles away! Cheers

    Buying a UK car - please don't tell me to do a search

    I HAVE searched, and searched, and searched, and I think I know, but I just want to ask a straightforward question - if I buy a used car in the UK or NI: (1) as long as it was first registered in 2008, I understand that the VRT payable on import will be based on the CO2 emissions, but (2)...

    Buying a pension annuity - who's got best rates

    Are you sure you need to purchase an annuity? You may be entitled to an ARF instead, and only draw out what you need. If you are obliged to buy an annuity, bear in mind that annuity rates are related to the prevailing interest rates at the time of purchase, so when interest rates are low, so are...

    Can't get old stain out of Ceiling

    Also, excuse me for stating the obvious, but just make sure that the cause of the stain has been rectified properly before doing the above! I have used white, oil based, one-coat paint, let it dry completely, then painted over it with emulsion, and it works fine. This may save the purchase of...

    Do I need a TV licence to watch a webcast?

    And I wonder how much is being spent on advertising the need for TV licences; the ads are relentless! It can't be cheap!

    B1 Return

    Back to Dieter's (the OP's) current issue, as this sounds like your SECOND annual return, you can file a B73 with this second B1 and extend the ARD by another six months, but you MUST submit the b1 and B73 on time. This will prevent you from being "late" and therefore you will not automatically...

    stopping neighbours cats using my garden as toilet

    I didn't check teh links above to see if this was in it, but a poster once recommended getting a bucket of tiger "dung" from Dublin zoo, and putting it in your garden. Apparently, this was to convince your neighbour's cats that they were now trespassing on a VERY BIG CAT's patch! I thought it...

    Tips and tricks for lifting old carpet on hall, stairs and landing

    I'd say it depends on how it was put down (tacks, glue, gripper-rod), and what you intend to replace it with (ie, how good a finish do you need to preserve after the old carpet is up, or does it matter, say, if a new carpet is going down). Therefore, specify what you intend to put in its place...
