Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Mobile phone contract procedure.

    Staff members (in store) of a network and mobile phone provider, are using their own cashcards to authorize the €1 deposit required to validate a new customer bank account, this is happening when the new customer has a bank account with no funds. No doubt this is totally against procedure, but I wonder what are the implications in terms of agreement and contract? Dare I say is it a Lawful practice? I posed the question on another board as to whether or not people had 'experienced' the same practice, at least thirty people confirmed it. I figure it was relevant to post here and get a technical range of opinion.

    Is offer, acceptance or consideration breached by this 'procedure'? If not then I can't see why it would negate a contract. There might be something in relation to consumer credit but beyond that I can't see how one is related to the other.
