    Aldermore Bank Website Down

    I expect there's a few people with accounts with Aldermore Bank but their website has been down all weekend and is still down now on Tuesday. Anyone know what's up?

    Moving on from InTouch (Brookson)

    The switch to the new portal has been handled terribly. They must know exactly which customers are moving from the old to the new and could have prepared specific training to say, "here's how you did this in the old portal, here's how you do it in the new one" etc. Anything not covered could be...

    Moving on from InTouch (Brookson)

    The support from Intouch has fell off a cliff in recent weeks. Have never had an issue in over 10 years but now it's all unanswered emails and incomplete information being sent. I've just rang my supposed personal accountant's number, InTouch's existing client number (which also fields HMRC...

    Paying VAT by Direct Debit Issue

    Thanks for the replies. The returns themselves are submitted straight after the quarter ends. For the quarter ending 31 July 2023, which was the first time I've had to pay VAT in a while (been VAT registered for years), I expected the direct debit to go out on 7th Sept. Factoring in the 3...

    Paying VAT by Direct Debit Issue

    I've recently started paying VAT again and for whatever reason the funds aren't being taken by direct debit on the 7th as they should. The previous quarter, I only noticed the payment wasn't taken a week after the due date so I paid it manually and was charged a small amount of interest. For...

    Tax Code Change

    I'm on an inside-IR35 contract through Paystream and just had a tax code change notification switching from 1257L to 819L. Is there any reason my tax code would change like that near the start of the tax year?

    Timesheet Issue

    It's a really frustrating situation. Have had no problems getting paid so far by the agency and my gut says it's just a mistake on the consultancy's end and you have to go through the quagmire of forwarded emails to get it resolved. The person who hired me is long gone from the account so all's...

    Timesheet Issue

    I rarely have any contact with the end client as I'm a resource of the Indian 3-letter-acronym consultancy. As I'm working on the end client account, I don't have instant messaging capabilities to hassle anyone in the consultancy and all their support seems to be based around sending mails to...

    Timesheet Issue

    Thought I'd canvass some opinions as I'm really brassed off with a timesheet issue I'm having. I'm working through a German agency supplied to a large Indian consultancy and on to a German customer. Contract finishes at the end of this month and invoices are to be paid within 30 days. Contract...

    Dark winter

    It's a 240V dimmer uplighter, yeah. I was testing how much power my homelab servers were using with a plug-in power meter and checked the lamp out as my missus said the bulb I was using "used a lot". Not half.

    Dark winter

    It's 118mm for the main and according to multiple answers in the Argos Q&A, it isn't suitable for LED bulbs. After a new model once this halogen bulb goes.
