I have heard references to queries about "Anti-social Hedges". They do exist - I got attacked by one of those things last Friday night on the way back from the pub... PochiSoldi

But how are you meant to get replacements if they only give you 70% of the money? You aren't meant to. It's intended for people who don't want to replace their jewelry and want to buy a car or pay off debts or go on a cruise or whatever. The individuals are happy because they get something they prefer and the insurers are happy because they got a discount. If you want replacements then the 4800 vouchers should cover it. If they...

It's hard to see where the ambiguity is here. I suggest you may be able to maintain them, trim them, in the normal way but you may well fall foul of the law if you do any major work to them. Has the S106 been signed? If not, can it be renegotiated if it is a problem? Or does this relate to someone else's permission.

"Of course there is no harm in negotiating but I am not sure you are entitled to full cash amounts, only replacements" But how are you meant to get replacements if they only give you 70% of the money? D.

hi car is 5 years old now, were never offered a warranty. If we were we ould have taken it up most definately because of the type of car it is. I think we were so keen to get back on the road after having our previous car stolen we didn't think straight. We spoke to the garage where we purchased it and explained the problem (awkward as hubby is very friendly with two of the guys there) they advised us to look into our agreement. they...

The loss adjuster has vaguely said that she is sure that Goldsmiths will be able to make to order. But whether they are able to or not, it will not be the ring that I lost. It won't remind me of my wedding day, it will remind me of the bulgary. So what exactly are you looking for here ? The insurance company can't get you back the actual ring you had stolen - all they can do is provide you with a replacement of the same monetary...

Many thanks Sarah. I would assume that in the particular circumstance you mention, the S106 or covenant or whatever would stipulate a height (or minimum height), in which case any High Hedge remedy could only be enforced if the height specification were firstly removed by a variation to the original permission.

Simply insist on evidence that you ordered the service. If they say that you ordered by phone, ask for evidence . Refuse to discuss the matter on the phone; whatever they say, and however polite or aggressive they are, simply reply that you do not deal with such matters verbally, and all invoice queries must be in writing, then end the call. Only respond to any correspondence from them three times, and respond exactly the same way each time...

Afternoon I had something similar about a year ago. I matched their aggressive telephone manner and told them that I hadn't ordered anything and wasn't going to pay anything. I have never heard from them again. Its a bit late now, but the one thing that you shouldn't do is be polite to these people, they take politness as a sign that you might pay, so they will keep harassing you. This is not a legal answer because you...

It just occurs to me that, the higher paid the researching person, the less economic it is to answer questions. Choose an expensive person to answer a 'difficult' question and you could rule yourself out from answering it very simply. Q/'How much were the PM's expenses this year'? A/'It would be uneconomic to answer'
