I have a problem with an agreed price form "Postal gold" as advertised on TV. Can I change my mind?

I sent gold to Postal Gold as advertised on TV. When the money was deposited in my account i was not happy and just as it says I'm allowed to i rang to arrange to return the money and have my gold returned to me. I was offered a higher price which I accepted. I immediately changed my mind and rang to cancel the arrangement. I was told i couldn't do this because i had accepted a higher offer. Are they allowed to do this.I really want the return of my gold

Generally an accepted offer cannot be withdrawn unless cancelled by mutual agreement.

• I would have to agree with VJ, its going to be very hard to get your gold back. In the future, deal locally.

Are care/nursing/residential homes a business?

Are they in the private sector or a national service etc

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

The vast majority are in the private sector, yet they do accept non private patients from local authorities that don't have the room and/or facilities. It is an immensely profitable business and with an ever increasing number of a working age population, the future looks very profitable for them.

• It depends which country you are from. Most countries they are in the private sector. Most countries have at least some state run hospitals. Other places where there is a health insurance system there are private hospitals where the treatment cost is borne by the insurance plans. The other part I guess is about care centres for senior citizens there are all kinds state-owned, run by private chariatble trusts and privately owned.
• Private mostly.
  and damn good money too
• yes,both types

How can I get the best exchange rate when I convert chf to gbp?

I need to send a regular sums of money from Switzerland to my bank in the UK, but the last time I did this my bank in the UK converted the CHF to GBP at a pretty bad rate, so what with that and the bank charge for the transfer it was not a very good deal.

Is there a better way to do this where I can get a better rate? My bank has a huge difference between it's buy and sell rates.

I'm working in Switzerland, but need to pay mortgage and bills in the UK.

Bought a new (pre reg) van from a renault dealer,heavily discounted.have to wait 4 months for the log book.why?

list price was £16000. plus vat..got it for £9995 plus vat ...70 miles on the clock and pre registered to the dealer.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

I have bought two renaults this way, the vehicle is originally registered to a car hire company and the logbook remains with them in their name, I think that to get cheap vehicles to the likes of you and me, they have to 'own' for a certain amount of time before they can 'sell' them to you or me. (even though we already have possession) its the only way to buy, OK youre the second owner on paper but mine only had 5 miles on clock. I wonder if I could get a ferrari that way?

Where could I find informations regarding "pavement maintenance" by a local authority?

As I have tripped over a dislodged slab of pavement (3 centimetres high) and broke my spectacles.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

Good luck!!

Assume you are in UK - my 84 year old mother in law tripped over a paving slab which was fully raised. She was really badly hurt (broken nose, badly grazed chin and forehead and sprained wrist) - smashed her specs and her dentures. Had the full A&E report which we sent to the council and got absolutely NOTHING.

They said that the paving slab in question did not contravene anything and, when we went to see, it had been repaired although you could still see the bloodstains. Therefore they would not pay for repairs to glasses or dentures. In fact, they were really rude - even said that her age contributed to the fall! The A&E report stated that she was in excellent health for her age!

I strongly advise you to take a couple of photographs of the offending paving slab.

I m gonna a have compulsory redundancy i have one child and wife ,she doesn't work what benefits would i get?

i m gonna a have compulsory redundancy i have one child and wife ,she doesn't work what benefits would i get ?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

depensing on wether you get a redundency pay off, if you get more than £6,000 you will not get ANY benefits, you will be expected to live off of your redundency money.

If you get less than £6,000 but over £1,000 you will be able to get income based ESA, this will reflect on what u have earned in the latest tax year, any tax credits your wife is getting will alos be classed as income against this ( i was told this yesturday at an A4e pathways meeting linked to the jobcentre ) if you get no pay out you will be able to claim income based jobseekers allowance, housing and council tax benefit until you find another job, if its your own house and u have a mortgage you can get help towards paying it but they will not pay all of it.

You should be entitled to full tax credit help until your back into work, then you will have your payments adjusted.

dont think by not telling them you will get more money because they ask for proof of everything
