    How long should should I wait to take them to to the small claims court and do I have

    I this case I don't think it matters how much (or little) attempt has been made to collect the debt The Director has said that he wont pay and given a reason. No amount of extra attempts at sending letters is going to change that. The issue that needs to be sorted is "is the director's reason...

    data breach

    Oh come on live "real person" data as samples in project documentation, and you think that the use of that data by project personnel could be a breach of "data protection" by that user? As before, if that data were there, then it would be there intending it to be used by project personnel...

    Sorry, but the people to whom I responded were talking about the piffly data protection act tim

    data breach

    So what you are saying is that someone (working on a specific project) has (may have) taken some project specific documents which just happen to contain the name, address and phone numbers (any other personal details) of other people working on that same project, and that act is a data breach...

    data breach

    we don't know that it's a breach of contract, I agree It might be that it isn't even that. But we do know that it isn't a data protection issue, because we have been told the nature of the data. It isn't personal data and is therefore is not protected by the act. tim

    so then the OP should want to be paid in Euro I have done 8 gigs in Europe (and one in China as the rep of a European company) and all but the first was paid in Euro (and one wasn't even in the Euro zone!). And for the first I was royally ripped off because the agency gave me a lowball pound...

    winding up my company

    to answer some points: Of course it is money-boxing, but as stated by a PP the change in the rules this year have not clamped down on that, only phoenixing. And as I have been running my LtdCo for 32 years and the sum in question amounts to approx 1K for each year of operation, it's hardly...

    Working for minus £400 in March

    and I thought the £32/h that is commonly offered for embedded work outside of the "silicon valley" hotspots was bad :frown FWIW that's the same rate as I was being offered in 96. tim

    Should I accept payment in EUR or GBP

    Because they are being paid in Euro and, as they are only a middleman, don't see why it is they who should take the currency risk. Most agencies think this way.

    winding up my company

    OK So I'm going to re-open this question because I have done 2 stupid things and I watn to check that I am safe from from the changes in the rules as per: Why company distributions on liquidation never looked so taxing :: Contractor UK The first mistake was that I mistimed transferring the...

    winding up my company

    OK So this only works for distributing the funds remaining after declaring a dividend/salary of (approx.) 40K, because that is the amount which uses up my 20% band. The rest I pay 0/10% CGT on instead of 40% tax. thanks tim
