No you are NOT having my personal details.
Anyone as hacked off as I am by every man and his dog wanting your personal details?. Waitrose tried it a couple of weeks ago. Why should I give the checkout girl my postcode. PC World tried it today. I bought a new gizmo. Can I just flash my CC? No she wants my address "for the record so they can trace the sale if I have…

Fancy dress suppliers let me down

Waited a good few days and nothing. Rang to find out that they didn't have 1 (nor would get in time) one of the items. Did they bother to tell me no.…

Got a nice deal agreed on a ex-display fireplace from Homebase, after checking measurements, rang back to confirm I would definately have it and asked them to put my name on it.

BUT! the only way to contact them to complain / ask a question, is to email. Or is it? In actual fact amazon have a CS helpline - they just don't advertise it anywhere! How annoying is…

Metronet CS department rules!!
I've got broadband with metronet and in my experience (and many others according to internet forums) the CS is simply brilliant. Yesterday I had a technical question which I emailed to metronet. I got a reply 5 MINS LATER with the solution. Awesome. :D I wish all other CS departments would take note.

Argos catalogue item mis-described - what can I do?
I bought a desk, filing drawers and set of shelves from Argos for my new 'home office'. I spent a long time looking in lots of shops, to get exactly what I wanted, and make sure it fitted in the small space I have available. I was very pleased with the look and fit of the items when we put them together, but now I have a…

Direct Line Loan - Overpayment
On returning home from work yesterday, I read the days mail over tea, as you do. There was an envelope from Direct Line; nothing unusual in that, I have my house, car and life insurance with them. Imagine my surpise however, when I read the letter, and its informing me that when I settled my outstanding loan in 2003, there…

DFS - Payment Protection
I bought a sofa from DFS a few years ago when moving to a new house. The payments are £46 pm due to end June 06 so I got the paperwork out last night - thought I'd give them a call for a settlement figure. Anyhow, I noticed that included in my £46 pm payment is £5.15 (!!!!) pm payment protection insurance (over 3 years).…

Unwittingly signed up for a 12 month broadband contract with ISP
Trying to keep this factual but I am so livid that they can con a pensioner into these deals. Don’t know if I can mention the name of the ISP so I won’t just in case but you can probably work out who it is anyway. My dad tried the one month free trial with an ISP. After about 3 weeks, he phoned to cancel and was offered…

Demfings.Com
We ordered an item from these people totalling over £100. Found it somewhere else who were able to deliver straight away instead of waiting 3 weeks so we exercised the right to cancel the order within 24 hrs (trading standards states that you have a 'cooling off' period of 7 days with online transactions). Despite…
