It's someone sending me money to pay off their UK credit card.

Cheers btw, your surname isnt Diggler is it?
A friend who's moved out of the country wants to do a money transfer via the above as she cant do banking transfers were she is (for reasons unkown to me). she needs my address to do this and then I have to go into the above and provide ID etc.
Never done this before, is it safe and secure or will someone in Nigeria end up with my bank details?
Sometimes having too much credit might affect any future credit applications you may make as they see it as having too much potential to borrow and therefore overstretch yourself. If you do keep some perhaps consider asking them to reduce the credit limit.
What a nightmare, relatives taken into care, friends cancelling, friends falling out with me. Seriously why do weddings bring out the worst in people?
All I want is a fun, happy day and there's just a shitty arse storm brewing up.
There is a limit as to how much any legit accountant can save you and most accountants will be fairly consistent so to be frank it normally comes down to price and relationship. Trust me, that's the way it is.
Er, they can talk and if they ask me there will be a valid reason for the difference in charges i.e. more work done etc.
At the end of the day a business is supposed to make a profit to support it's staff and director's.
Why would someone in business not aim to make a healthy profit?
Sometimes I cant charge the same rate, due to client pressure, client income level etc. And sometimes I work for free if they're old and need a favour.
I think your comment is fairly niave if you're in business too??
So I went to see a potential new client today, they're paying a lot in accounting fees, I can pretty much blow their current accountant out of the water. Question is obviously I want to be competitive but at the same time I want to still portray a level of professionalism and if I go too low then they might doubt by level of competence.
I could go in at just under half of what they are paying but should I go higher, to portray a more professional service?
Strange position to be in.
