Today, 4.51 pm Shes not after a mortgage, its a mortgage capacity letter. I dont think a SAR is necessary, its not some big fraud case. I think it is just someone claiming something they shouldnt. 
Today, 4.32 pm Just curious. What is the monthly running cost using Calude.  I had someone who wants to help me build agentic AI. Which involves running the whole system 24/7. Apart from the energy cost I am not keen on leaving my hardware on all night when I am not in the office.  
Today, 3.34 pm Well you can call the Benefit Fraud Hotline on 0800 854 440 - but unless they are delclaring the Tax etc - a SAR is probably a good idea too!   It does seem unusual (paying fees from a Business Account) - but there could be a valid reason they have done that.... but I bet its Benefit Fraud to...
Today, 2.56 pm I am not doing a mortgage for this person so I do not think it would be a SAR but I am not sure what I should be doing in this case.  I have a customer who has told me they have no income and relying on benefits. But when it has come to pay me, they have paid from a business bank account (the ...

Today, 1.53 pm A genuine question (and one that, on top of current workload, is stopping me experimenting in Claude or similar) - when using the free versions (and possibly paid) what happens to the personal data moved from the CSV file to the new factfind blank (other than the copying process) ? 
Today, 1.42 pm I've started to build a fact find in Claude and I'm quite blown away so far. As a starting point you can upload an existing blank fact find or it will pull a generic fact find from the web. I've spent a fair few hours tailoring it to suit and I'd say I'm about halfway through. In...
Today, 9.48 am barclays, natwest, halifax
Today, 9.06 am Barclays used to do these 
Yesterday, 5.29 pm I designed my own fact find, it's word document, over the years I have amended it to include all the possible questions that a lender would ask. I just email it to them. Rarely has it been fully completed so I have to call them and get the required information. Personally I think it has helped m...
