    Furniture company want BIC / IBAN, won't refund credit card

    If you know the shop, can you call in and ask for the money back from the manager? If it was me I would take the money back any way at this point. In fact, it frustrates me that some shops will only refund the card used to buy the product if necessary to return it.

    Marriage equality referendum - "rights" to kids etc.

    Of course they do! Children are often the pawns in protracted separations with the father being denied access. Either way, this has nothing to do with allowing same sex people to marry.

    Marriage equality referendum - "rights" to kids etc.

    Issues of children etc. are the red herrings. I am one of a married couple without children. As such, we are a family as defined by the constitution. I personally have no issue with a same sex couple being allowed the same privilige on the basis of equality. In fact, the fact that we don't...

    Key Post Nevin Institute: " low paid pay more tax"

    Ironically, the findings work against the very unions that paid for it. Those that pay the most tax don't actually work or earn too much to be members. The middle income demograpic who pay the least are the most likely to be union members. The unions can no longer call for more taxes on the...

    partner in limbo with his job

    There must be a back story here - can you fill us in and perhaps we can help? For example, your partner was out of work for 11 days before suspension confirmed. If he did not know, why was he not in work?

    DCC Mortgage Protection Query

    Will a bank sell a mpp to anyone simply asking for it? I think with the level of arrears they are very particular about selling this product. Otherwise anyone who was getting into trouble such as being laid off could take one out and their problem could be solved. as such, I'm not sure I...
