    Nuisance Call from private number.

    The only this to do if selling anything online or anywhere that you provide a number is to buy a PAYG SIM & put it into an old handset. Not of much use to the OP now, I know. I never answer private numbers. I recently discovered UPC Anonymous Call Rejection, a handy facility which works in...

    Storage heater issues (strange one)

    The switch on the wall will only light up at night (usually) when the heater is storing. Just in case it's not some sort of fuse or electrical fault there is an instruction leaflet on how to set & operate your storage heating pdf available on the neighbours.ie forum. If you click the link in...

    Confused over PRSI Contributions for Jobseekers Benefit

    2009 is the relevant year alright, so in order to qualify using your contributions for that year you would need to have 39. You would also qualify if you had 26 paid in 2009 plus 26 paid in 2008, so unfortunately it looks as if you don't qualify under that criteria either as you appear to be 4...

    Long Expired Cheque.. Can it be cashed?

    Perserverance pays, & considering the amount involved I would certainly follow it up & at least satisfy yourself that you've done absolutely everything possible to try to recover the money, especially considering that realistically you have nothing to lose at this stage & €1,100 to gain for a...

    Ulster bank visa debit: Hotel pre-authorisation will not clear

    I would have assumed that it would disappear within a few days after checkout, but after reading THIS POST on boards.ie it looks as if it could possibly be much longer. If you have a 1890 number you could try entering it (without any spaces) into the search-box located at the top right hand...

    Disability Pension: Can it be paid directly into my current acc?

    Hi Yetti, As Welfarite has said, your Welfare Officer is not involved in your new disability payments. It's not clear by your posts exactly whether you are changing to Disability Allowance or Invalidity Pension, but this should be detailed in the award letter that you received from Dept Social...

    UPC increased broadband speed

    Yes, I rang them a couple of weeks ago when I heard about the upcoming increase & after a bit of haggling I was offered a €5 monthly discount on my bill for 12 months, which suits me fine as my package is only increasing by €3 a month.

    Are taxis and/or Nitelink operating at night this week

    No-one has stated that they expect taxi's to be at their beck & call so far in this thread, though, seeing as they don't provide a free service, plus the fact that 8 out of 10 taxi drivers seem to spend the entire journey complaining about how hard they find it to make ends meet since...

    Long Expired Cheque.. Can it be cashed?

    Ideally, the cheque should show up as outstanding in their bank reconciliations. More than likely at this stage the amount would have been moved, for accounting reasons, to some sort of suspense account, but the amount should still show up somewhere as not being cashed. Whether or not it will...

    No, An Post & DSP have entered into an agreement whereby An Post are authorised to process DSP payments according to instructions received from DSP. Accordingly, An Post offices have no powers of decision as they are merely acting as a paid cash dispensing agent. When a DSP card is swiped in...

    Moving phone and bb from Eircom

    You get a new one, but you can port your existing one over to UPC. If you intend to port your number over make sure that you don't cancel your telephone account with Eircom. You will need to sign a porting form which UPC will send to Eircom on your behalf. You can use your new UPC number in...

    UPC Digital+ versus Digital+HD

    No, it's a different box: a black Cisco 8485DVB Mediabox - it has a HDMI socket, whereas as far as I know the other set top boxes don't. In my experience, the quality of picture is better using the HDMI cable even on standard definition channels on a 32'' LCD. The remote control features...

    Other Travel Insurance for EU citizen who has not been resident in Ireland for 6 months

    I don't know whether this will be deleted or moved, but you might get to read it before it is :eek:: It looks as if [broken link removed]cover people who have lived here for at least 3 months before the date of cover is applied for, though you'd need to double check this with them.
