Samsonite suitcases
We bought 3 of the solid plastic suitcases about 12 years ago, they've been very good other than occasionally a lock breaks. Whenever this has happened we nip to the local samsonite retailer, and they give us the Samsonite phone number, we phone and a replacement lock is in the post immediately completely free of charge.…

John Lewis price matching
Hi! My partner was given £50 in John Lewis vouchers. A few weeks later our printer gave up the ghost and it seemed a good idea to put those vouchers towards the cost of a new printer. John Lewis's prices are not terribly competetive, but they say they will match the price of local shops. So we pitched up with the advert…

I have a laser printer that I bought from PC World in January. This needs replacing - Samsung have offered to replace it with a reconditioned machine "of similar age." BUT...

Complain to the ASA!!!

However I think perhaps its time MoneySavers collectively started to report all…

I have paid other credit cards with Switch before on the day they are due and they tell me that the payment is backdated to today's…

Tesco
Has anyone else noticed that Tesco have upped the price of SMA white (for hungrier babys) by 70p per tin over the last 7 days. I e-mailed them saying i thought it was way over the inflation rate and got this (slightly patronising) reply:- Thank you for your email. I was sorry to learn that you are disappointed with the…

property purchase, who's paying who !?
We're buying a house and I was in a heated conversation with the vendor's agent yesterday and he reminded me (for some bizarre reason) that the vendor was his client and he would talk to them and get back to me. Got me thinking... As there is usually "no sale no fee" then it is the buyer (me) who is paying the agent ! As…

Chain letter - via e-mail and Paypal
Just received an e-mail that is a chain letter asking for £3 to be sent to the person at the top of the list (like the classic snail mail chain letters). The only new twist seems to be that you make the payment via Paypal! There is loads of blurb saying that Paypal state that it is legal and some links to click on. The…
