Thanks but even less helpful than their letter! What's happened to the NTRT site? Nothing's been updated since 2015. I've got an APN which needs to be sorted by 11th April, although it doesn't tell me how much they want & I'm going to be added to the STAR if I haven't dealt with their APN by...- 2BA

Business bank account recommendations
Banks Banks I used to be with HSBC until I realised they'd changed their T&C's & were charging me £5/mth for the pleasure of having the account. Their interest paid about 2p/mth. I then did a bit of research & found the co-operative bank. They charge for transactions rather than a fee, & the...- 2BA

What an APN looks like
I've just received a letter today saying I'll be getting an APN in the next 1 to 6 weeks. This is the first resurgence of this that I've had since some point in 2009 when I bought a certificate of tax deposit.
