Reviva Health Clubs for Women
I was a member of the Edinburgh branch and with no notice it closed. When I telephoned the Glasgow branch they told their head office would be writing to all Edinburgh - but nothing has ever been heard. The telephone number given was not a real number and the Glasgow branch also appears to have gone now. The details of the…

I am not sure where to post this but do you think its legal.
My brother is a hairdresser, the person who owns the salon he works for is an Accountant. He has been set a target of approx £1400 - £1500 per week. This is only acheivable if he does a cut and finish every 15 minutes. They also send out birthday and anniversary discounts, ie 20% off because its your birthday. If by the…

Unwanted ISP CDs
Can ISPs be held responsible for disposal costs of all the junk CDs they produce? Anybody that has a computer magazine subscription and occasionally buys others must have 50+ Tiscali CDs by now; fortunately the receipt of AOL ones by post has become rarer. Any useful ideas, apart from coasters? We hung a few on trees to…

A worrying trend?
There have been a number of threads detailing examples of goods or services provided,but bills not sent. I am talking about the ‘I haven’t received a Gas/Electricty/Water/Phone bill for 3 years and now they want me to pay’ or ‘I was wrongly credited with £x and now they want it back’ posts. It is usually accompanied by a…

Money is taken from your card and when you Google search for the company, the link…

Rapidfit Tyres
Within the last 9 months I have replaced all 4 tyres on my car at Rapidfit which is attached to the Ford car sales near my home. Yesterday I had a flat, put on short term spare and went back to get a new tyre. Within 2 seconds they had found a nail and so I went and sat and waited; it was done in about 15 mins and they had…

STOP!! premium rate dial-up scams
Hi, I have found this website http://www.btmodemprotection.com from BT, basically the software will alert you that you have a possible virus that is trying to dial-up a premium rate 090 number from your PC which could land you with a telephone bill in the £00's. Please note that it only works on Windows XP & 2000 but BT…

French Country Cottages....
Phoned them a couple of weeks ago to find a suitable property in Dordogne for 4 adults and 4 children (1 a baby, and 2 under 3). They suggested a nice place available in June, "sleeps 6", but extra cot for baby, and the 3rd bedroom described as "twin room with additional double bed". Making 8 beds and a cot in total.…

Springsteen scam
My wife nearly got ripped off this weekend with buying tickets for a concert at the royal albert hall by Bruce Springsteen, it was advertised in the Sunday papers, it appears to be a complete scam, :mad: there is no concert at all, so do not give your c/c details thinking your buying tickets cause your not. If i am wrong…

Endless calls from MBNA.....
A few months ago we received about 7 calls in one week from MBNA. Thinking it might be important (yeah, right, we have ONE credit card with just £20 a month on it) I arranged for them to call at specific times when my husband was in as the card is in his name. You guessed it - they called again when he was at work. Finally…

People who overuse exclamation marks!
I've been reading threads on this site for a long, long time now although I haven't been registered since the start and I haven't posted much. Maybe as a 'hardly posted' relative newbie I shouldn't complain, but I'm really surprised at the amount of exclamation marks people use in their posts. It really bugs me and puts me…

5 Stars for Boots.com
I made two orders on 8th March, wanting to get two £10 vouchers off electrical items. When the parcels arrived on 14th March the vouchers were missing. The offer expired on 15th March, so there was not much could be done about it, but I did e-mail Boots.com to let them know. I have just received a phone call from a nice…

Jet2.com
I thought I would recommend the quality of the Jet2.com planes. I used them last week to go to/from Paris and I must say I was very impressed. We were 10 mins early landing in Paris and on the way back made up the time lost when we were sat on the runway for 15 mins. Also, and probably more important for me, the seats were…

Name And Shame! Which?
NAME AND SHAME! WHICH? I thought long and hard about this, but there's no way round it. In my hand's a 'Which? £300,000 Double Fortune Draw', the type of shoddy marketing that gives companies a bad name. For Which? to be doing it is shameful. I've huge respect for Consumers Association. It leads great campaigns, forces…

Optical4Less
About 6 weeks ago I took a fairly large chunk of glass out of one of my lenses in my glasses. A trip to Specsavers and I was told it would cost me £40 for one new lens. So it was 'thank you I'll think about it', back home and onto the forums where I thought I'd seen something about cheap glasses. The upshot was that I'm…

Somerfield cannot get things right...
Somerfield constantly cannot get either the wording or the basis of their offers to tie up from the shelves to the checkout. A lot of the time their offers do not 'work' at the checkout (whether relying on the silly Saver Card or not) or they word them so dumbly on the shelves it is nigh on impossible to pick up the right…
