A question about : Money Moral Dilemma: Should I sell student discount laptops?

Here's this week's hypothetical situation for you to cogitate on:

Should I be selling laptops I buy with my student discount?

I'm a student who can get 15% off laptops, plus a free warranty that would normally cost Ј200. I've bought a few laptops and then sold them on eBay with the warranty. The buyer pays less and I make a little too – only the computer firm loses out. My friend thinks I'm abusing a student discount offered as goodwill. Is she right?

Euro elections 34% turnout – why didn’t you vote?

Voting is one of the most important choices we make as consumers. Yet even though last week’s Euro elections were the most hotly-contested for years, only just over 1 in 3 people eligible to vote did so. So we want to know if you did vote - and if not, why not?

A question about : Money Moral Dilemma: Should I report couple fraudulently claiming benefits?

A married couple living together full time, both unemployed and who you know to be claiming at separate addresses.

I believe there's quite a difference of income but dont know exactly how much.

I personally find it a moral dilemma but readily understand why many hardworking, honest people wouldn't think twice about reporting them.

My sister-in-law always picks up the bill or buys things and asks us to pay her cash. We know she uses both a cashback site and her points-earning credit card. So should she pass on the savings to us?

A question about : MoneySaving Poll: Do you check your credit files?

Poll started 17 June 2014

Do you check your credit files?

In the last five years, credit checking has become far more important. It decides whether you get mortgages, contract mobiles, credit cards, even whether you can pay for energy the cheapest way.

One small error on your files, which are held at Callcredit, Equifax and Experian, can cause havoc.

So how often do you check? Which is the nearest to your situation?
