I have been having problems over the past year or two with mains electrical devices failing.I took off a light switch, powered down the ring and measured the resistance between the hot live and earth. The digital multimeter read 20 ohms! Not Good! That's 12 AMPS RMS leaking to earth!When I switch off the consumer unit (isolating live) the reading is 20 M Ohms (as it should). Does this appear to be a live fault downstream of the consumer unit ie a utility-side live fault?ThanksAlso measured resistance between neutral and earth. It was 1 ohm.To qualify, 1ohm resistance between neutral and earth at the consumer unit. Further away from the consumer unit, the resistance increased e.g. 1 - 20ohm.

He stated that after the initial bailout, of the nations largest banks, the "stress test" was designed to see which banks acted in the best interests of the nation, or their own self interests.. All the banks flunked this test miserably.. Thus Geither concluded that further government regulation is needed to insure that the largest banks act in favor of the best interests of the consumer and the nation.My question is--Given the failure of the banks to apply ethics to their behavior, does anyone think the healthcare companies will act in the best interests of the American people and the nation ?? Why or why not ??
I saw Secretary of Treasury Geither speak last night on CSpan..?
I'll cut a long story short:>I bought a bag for £30 from a store (USC)>After 2 months use, the strap almost completely came away>I took it back to the store WITH the receipt and they wouldn't accept it>I called consumer direct, they said send it to head office so I did, stating that under the Sale of Goods Act, the bag should be durable and therefore I am entitled to a refund>I've now been sent back the bag with a letter stating that it was just "wear and tear" that caused the strap to come so loose.Consumer direct are now shut until Monday, and I'll ring them again to ask what to do: but I'd also like your advice, what can I do now? I've sent it to the Heads of the Company, I can't go any higher than that :S
I don't know where to go or what to do now when I've been cheated out of £30...?
OK here's the deal, my husband and i have lived in the same home for 6 yrs. We have outgrown our home due to having a baby. We don't have good credit, and last night I went and tried to get a credit score and it said "We're sorry we could not generate your Vantage score because there have not been any credit accounts reported or consumer initiated inquiries occurring in the last 24 months." But it still charged me for the score??? What does this mean? We want to buy a home before the April deadline on the first time home buyers tax credit. We want to get an FHA loan and we have about $4000 to put for a down payment. A few years ago i had great credit, had a miscarriage, got depressed and spent more then we had coming in, I have fixed all that debt except for 2 accounts. And its been years since we've done anything with credit cards because we've been scared to screw up again, but my credit reports still show that I have 8 potentially negative items on my report. I have gotten a secured loan to put some good activity on my report but they told me it would take 3 months to show that good activity on my credit. What do I do? We're clueless, and really want to put our monthly payments towards "our" home instead of throwing it away and putting it towards our landlords home.
What if I don't have a FICO score to get an FHA loan?
I recently ordered some shoes from Schuh from their Ebay account, however, the 6 pairs of shoes I ordered had been put on Ebay and sold to me.I paid the amount and then I received a refund a day later with no explanation why. I emailed them to find out what had happened and I was told they did not have the shoes. Surely this is against some sort of Trading Standards Act, as they are selling without having the items? I want to send them a letter of complaint about their service, as I know it has also happened to hundreds of other people. Evident from their Ebay feedback. I was wondering if I have any rights as a consumer, over this situation?Thanks!
What rights do I have if I have ordered something online and paid, yet the item was not in stock?

Did you know that each year in the United States, an estimated 70 million animals are meaninglessly killed, tortured in numerous ways and suffer excruciating pain just for your cosmetic products, makeup, shampoo, hair care or skin care products? Animal testing should be abolished. Animal testing is wrong. Unless you are cruel, heartless or sadistic, I am sure you will all agree that the excruciating pain animals undergo whilst fully conscious, even risking their lives for us—or shall I say our unnecessary goods - is not worth the bottle of shampoo we buy in supermarkets. Animals each year are dissected, tortured, gassed, blinded, and infected whilst fully conscious because anesthetics or painkillers would interfere with the outcome of the experiment, meaning they go through extreme agony. But here is the fun part of animal testing: scientists have the ability and authority inflict pain upon the terrified, guiltless victims. Scientists no doubtingly they take advantage of their power. After all, who wouldn’t enjoy torturing an innocent animal in every way possible? From April 2004 to March 2005, a PETA investigator worked undercover at a Covance primate lab in Virginia. Experimenters were unknowingly filmed hitting monkeys excessively and cursing at them, for example some scientists said “I’m gonna kick your ass again”, “You little bitch” and other unnecessary insults to an animal which does not understand. What this shows is the animals are not only put through agonizing pain, but also go through unneeded pain by being, for example physically harassed by scientists through their own sadistic personalities and for their own personal amusement. Ladies and gentlemen, do you really think this is acceptable? To let animals suffer in so many different ways? Making animals suffer through pointless psychological and physical pain whilst even going through slow, tormenting deaths? Animal testing must be stopped once and for all. I am sure we all agree animal testing is unnecessary. 70% of animal testing is for cosmetics, a nonessential good. How many more hair products do we need? How many more vitamins do we need that offer the same thing as those in the container next to it on the shelf? How much makeup does one company need in order to be profitable? Once an ingredient has been found harmful, there is no point in different companies testing it again and again. Not only does this waste time, but identical, repeated experiments waste excessive amounts of work and money. Your money. Ladies and gentlemen, scientists and companies know animal testing has its lethal consequences, yet they still do it because they think they have no alternative. However, this is far from true. Friends, why do you continue to unknowingly waste unnecessary amounts of money and expenses on animal testing, whilst millions of animals die solitarily, painfully and slowly because of this unworthy inhumane practice? Animal testing should be stopped.Ranjan Shandilya, an author states “Testing on animals has helped develop vaccines for many life threatening diseases like Herpes Simplex” Of course, there are those who say animal experimentation will help develop cures for diseases such as cancer and STD’s, which will save many lives. This is a lie. In actual fact, animal testing is a flawed and generally misleading method of scientific investigation that wastes time, money and resources. But friends, who pays for these experiments? We do, through our money, through our donations and through our consumer habits. Animals are distinct to humans in uncountable different ways, including psychologically, physiologically and genetically. There are cases that highlight the absurdity of assuming that humans and animals have a biology sufficiently similar for experimentation to yield useful results. For example: morphine calms humans but excites cats. As a result of this, it has been proven animal testing and vivisection does not produce accurate results, furthermore as the trauma and stress animals endure can affect experiments, the results are often invalidated. Making the process meaningless. Yes, scientists have discovered cures for other diseases such as sexually transmitted diseases and the development of antibiotics, vaccines and surgical techniques. But if the products from medical research based on the use of animals are so reliable, why is it that drugs that pass animal tests end up harming or killing humans about 61% of the time? Only 8% of drugs tested on animals actually make it to the market, meaning 92% are found to be either harmful or ineffective on humans. Again, some may argue; if they do not have any effect on humans, surely they cause no additional problems. However, if drugs and medication tested on animals are ineffective on humans, why do we continue to spend billions of dollars for something which does not have an impact at all, let alone harm us, even killing us in many cases? Two, out of thousands of shocking cases o
What do you think of this anti-animal testing speech, espesh the ending?
Gordon brown made a major adjustment to the Consumer Credit Act 2006, so that creditors no longer need a copy of a signed agreement to pursue debtors through the courts (which eventually leads to bailiffs for those unable to pay).Is it true they no longer neeed a copy of a signed agreement. Normally if someone applies for a credit card, or buy something on hp, or has a loan etc it will be regulated by the Consumer Credit Act, which up until now has required a copy of an agreement to chase defaulters through the courts. So anyone entering into such a credit agreement had to physically sign a CCA agreeement in order to be bound by it.
A creditor can get baliffs in even though they cannot prove a credit agreement was signed?
Are there any mistakes in this text? it is very important thank you.In conclusion, even though the article was written by a specialist, Judith Newmann, it is written in clear and understandable terms for the consumer. Although the text contains specialized terminology and scientific digressions, the impact on the reader is very positive and the so-called readability is maintained. As it appears from my analysis, the writer was able to simplify both the topic and the language and at the same time she preserves the medical content. Therefore, I think that this article is a good example of the fact that medical and more in general scientific texts can be made simple and understandable for everybody. Moreover, it is of great interest in that it combines different aspects and perspectives of a topic which could be, at some extent, hardly accessible for non-specialized readers. can you please correct i for me??!! thank you sooo much :))
