"My mother (74) got a renewal letter from her insurance company for her car insurance, wanting $570. After reading
your article on car insurance, I contacted one of the companies you recommended, who quoted her $318 for the same
level of cover. I just wanted to stay thank you very much for your article, as it has saved my mother a substantial amount of money".

Recently my tenants called and said they had broken a window and asked me to have it repaired. They said they had phoned the tenants advisory service and been told that as it was 'accidental' damamge it was the landlords reponsibility to repair and pay for it. I did get it fixed and pay for it as I didnt want to enter into a dispute. However, it has raised some concerns for me, could a tenant 'accidentally' put holes in the walls, rip curtains etc etc and the landlord would be responsible? I would like to know how other landlords view this.
I recently tried to move my Slingshot account. I provided a weeks notice prior to moving and a month after moving into my new home I have still not had all my services restored and Slingshot has over charged me by by direct debit by $191 this month. They charged me for a cancelling a contract I didn't have and charged for services I didn't recieve. Shocking service all-round. I have logged a formal complaint and I'm still waiting for an explanation. Some how I don't think I'll hear from them.
