Topcashback
Bought my car insurance through Topcashback and was due £40. I never received the money due so claimed from them within a few days of due date. I was informed that they would have to wait 6 months to challenge the lack of payment with the retailer. After 6 months I contacted them and they now inform me that it can be 12-16…

In my day... motivation to work
I've been finding more and more lately that 'good service' and acting in the interest of the customer seems to be a lost art and I've also spent some time with my sister who has terrible spending habits, no money and is constantly digging herself into more and more debt and just hiding under the covers and hoping it'll go…

Aldi Hedge Trimmer
2yrs ago I bought an Aldi Cordless hedge trimmer for if I remember correctly £35. It came with a 3yr warranty. It broke down at the back end of last year, I wasn't going to bother to claim for it, however I did this year, prior to the warranty expiring. I contacted the company that deals with Aldi warranties in Germany,…

National Lottery
After playing the National Lottery since its inception, my wife finally won a 4 figure prize last Saturday 24th February! Previously you could go to the Post Office to validate the ticket and receive your payout. You now have to put a claim in online, you are given a claim reference, then you have to wait. Now going into…

Facebook 3X MaxAir platform article
Obvious question Probably obvious answer. Is this a scam? Did Robert Peston know his name and interview was being used.

Admiral - trying to cancel auto renew on line.
Proper rant here - but they make you go through every confusing hoop possible before finally allowing you to click on the "cancel - and I really mean it!" button. At least I got the auto survey at the end, so was able to vent my spleen somewhat.

Motorola - Dreadful Customer Service
Purchased a phone (G73) directly from them less than a year ago which suddenly died and would not switch on, started the process of arranging a return for a repair under warranty and it's been an utter shambles from the start. Terrible communication, significant delays with getting return info, calls to chargeable phone…

Amazon Prime unwanted accidental membership
I just wanted to highlight that although I am moderately savvy with on-line goods ordering I fell foul of accidental acceptance of Amazon Prime membership while ordering some optics. Although free UK delivery was already incorporated in this sale I had not realised that Prime membership was already selected by default. An…

Shopping Surveys: Membership Scam
Anybody received emails promising some incredible guaranteed prize for completing a survey about shopping? I have received 2 recently: ostensibly from Screwfix and Sainsbury's. In both cases the 'prize' was substantial; I only had to pay £2 for shipment.When you get to the page where you enter your details having done the…

Phone call re emissions compensation
Just had a phone call saying I had filed a claim regarding emissions compensation on my car. I have not filed any such claim. The worrying thing about the call is that they know my name, address and vehicle registration number, along with my mobile phone number. The caller was very insistent that I had made a claim but…

Easylife rewards club - preying on the vulnerable
My 87 year old mother was recently signed up by Easylife to their rewards club which she did not want. She had previously bought items from them. Gets a phone call from a very persistent salesman, tells him repeatedly that the rewards club is of no interest to her but he would not take no for an answer and unfortunately…

Shopped online with the new Wilco online website, the Customer services advice leads nowhere and there is nobody to email phone etc. Bit miffed when only partial order arrived with no paperwork and unable to contact the new company.

MSE Hoover HF410P Praise, vent and warning!
I’m happy with the MSE offer of the Hoover HF410P and the good discount so that’s the praise. Vent is that although it is advertised as a 3 year warranty it is only possible (so far) to register a one year warranty. I have filled in online forms, rang various departments and put a query on Twitter/X but still not managed a…

Someone using my details to sign up on gambling sites for free bets
On a couple of occasions recently I've had an email in my inbox welcoming me to a gambling site which I've never signed up for. These are well known gambling sites (Pokerstars was one) and in each case I went to the site and contacted their customer service to get the account blocked. On one occasion I used the forgot…
