Incorrect invoice number
I submitted an invoice to my current agency with number like 123456789. I pasted my company VAT number in the wrong field :emb The only way to change an invoice, submitted with this agency, is to produce a credit note and a new invoice. Should I do that? Is it a big no-no with HMRC to have an...- Ender

How to get a City contract?
I'm single, so I can manage quite cheaply - e.g. rent a room for £500 per month in East London. Plus at this point I don't really care that much about the money. I want to check what life in London is like, if I can survive the pressure, etc. If I like it I may move over.- Ender

How to get a City contract?
I'm an .NET Web/Backend dev with ~10 years experience. I have some financial industry exposure (a contract with an insurance company, permanent role with a FinTech startup), but have mostly done media and public sector work. I'm in the North and it's very hard to get rate above 400 over here...- Ender

Funny bill from BT
No cooling period for businesses I guess. I believe canceling within the first week means one doesn't have to pay for all the 12 months of the contract. Anyway I ended paying £155 to BT for the lesson to never deal with them again...- Ender

Funny bill from BT
My phone shows 550MB cellular data consumed in June, that definitely includes tethering. So I haven't gone over the free 1GB. On 8th all tethered data used is charged at 0.00, so I don't think tethering is to blame.- Ender

Funny bill from BT
Didn't had a chance, their phone lines are only open on weekdays until 17:30. Plus I expect they'll just say those rates are in the contract somewhere, so pay up stupid :emb- Ender

Funny bill from BT
A month ago I decided to switch my LTD phone to BT's new 4G business plan ( BT Business Mobile - Sim Only ) . Got the cheapest option - 1GB of data with some calls and texts for ₤21 per month. Tried the SIM card for two days, but the coverage at my home was very bad, so I called BT and cancelled...- Ender

Need Mortgage / Credit rating advice
Two weeks ago I browsed the forums here and found that the only contractor friendly high street bank is Halifax. I used their online tool and got an agreement in principle for a mortgage with a 10% deposit. I then scheduled an appointment with a credit consultant in one of their branches. The... -

Availability of contracts after the start of a new financial year
I'm a .NET MVC developer and my 1st contract ends on March 31st. During the last year I was working all weekends, had no vacation and now I can use a two week holiday. There are plenty of contracts advertised last few days, but I'm wondering if that would be the case after April 6th. It may be...- Ender

Withdraw cach from a Cater Allen reserve account
I have a business reserve account and a deferred Visa card. So far I'm aware of the following methods to withdraw money: Use the Visa on ATMs - the daily limit for the card is 2000, but in my experience ATMs will only issue 600 in one transaction. Which means it takes time and it attracts...- Ender
