Took out a new contract on Moday and they sent my phone Royal Mail Special Delivery for next day delivery. Well lo and behold nothing turns up. Call them up and give them the tracking number after…

Had a look online at John Lewis online and was amazed to see…

Unreasonable non-refundable booking fees
This is a gripe about online ticketting agent SeeTickets. They suck. I recently booked 2 tickets for a band I'm into - the Queens of the Stone Age - playing in London. As fate would have it, the gig was scheduled to be on the 7th of July.. Not a good day to be in London... The gig was (unsurprisingly) cancelled, and I was…

Five weeks on and still haven't received my winnings from them. They seem to have had permanent "temporary technical problems" for the last couple of months when it comes to paying up. So, beginning to wonder what they're up to with peoples money and wouldn't recommend them to anyone right now. I've been told that as…

Within about 3 hours got a reply saying they are sending out a new set of headphones free of charge. Naturally they would like the old headpones back, but I can send them by freepost. Now that is…

Dreading the worst, I answered, fearing a family member had been in an accident, taken ill or worse. I was met by the pidgeon english drone of a brainwashed call centre moron selling me some telecommunications offer. I…
