Rip-off Mercedes servicing
OK, so I know it's a 'premium' car, so I know that the servicing is never going to be cheap - around £380 for the service that's now due. However, today when I called the local dealer they've now introduced a new scam of charging £28.50 for the use of a loan car. Of course, I also have to provide insurance and fuel. Is…

TheTimes Subscription rip off
I brought this problem up on 12 10 05 when after being promised £20 in vouchers if I joined the subscription I did not receive any vouchers. After several phone calls I was advised to write a letter in explaining that I had not received the vouchers. I was not pleased to do this but agreed to comply with the request. I…

Advice required: bought a TV that doesn't do what I expected...
Hi I recently bought a TV on 1-year deferred payment from my local Sony Centre (the Bravia KHL-S26A12U). I asked if it would be suitable for Xbox 360, Sony PS3, HD Sky, etc. and they ticked all of the boxes. I've since realised (almost 2 weeks later) that the TV doesn't have an HDMI socket, which I believe will be…

Britain's Most Expensive Cup of Tea
:mad: £1.89 - Moto services Ferrybridge on M62/A1 - even had to put own teabag in cup of hot water from a machine! Absolute indifference from staff who did not even attempt to justify the charge. Must be Britain's most expensive cup of tea - unless you know differently!! :eek:

Lloyds TSB business account: security transfer, very poor service
Hello all, I've been reading Martin's wonderful site for ages now but never contributed to the forums before today. However I have a situation that's making me hopping mad, and I thought you folks would be good people to share it with :) I've been with Lloyds as a personal customer for about 22 years, and as a business…

Ryanair penalty charges
I was stupid enough to make an error on name spelling on a reservation with Ryanair. It was picked up at check in and I was told there would have to be a name change. This took approximately 1 minute, in fact it took longer to remove the money from my bank card. There was never any question of not being able to fly, they…

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Disc 2 won't work
Has anyone else bought this yet? I bought it for my children yesterday and even though disc 1 with the actual film on it works perfectly, disc 2 doesn't. I took it back to WHSmiths this morning and they swapped it for another one. I tried that when I got home and that doesn't work either. I have 2 DVD players in the house…

'Barclays online banking' scam
Recieved an email this morning from Barclays IBank asking me to confirm my personal details for online banking. This was obviously a scam so I rang Barclays Bank (proper) to warn them about this. I was told to delete the email & forget about it. I was insistent that someone should be taking some action to warn other…

QVC Delivery charges
QVC are ok, not as cheap as they make out they are but still I can't say I don't like them. I have used them in the past and sometimes do now but only if I cannot get it from anywhere else or its a very special offer. The reason I do avoid them if at all possible is out of principle. I think thier delivery charges are a…

I understand that ones eyes are important, their health is important and the need for check-ups etc to ensure that the prescription is correct and that there are no reasons why you shouldn't get the lenses you…

I know we can be easy victims this time of year but this is taking the P. Do these people really think we are going to invest with a company who can't even aford an employee who can spell the word Four? The use of capitalisation in this piece is a sure give away. If you see it delete it Hello, I represent a company seeking…

Placed an order last night for some Christmas presents and selected the free delivery option (order was some £56). Noticed this morning that they intend to dispatch the order between 22 December and 11th January! Look out if you are using them for Christmas gifts. Looks like a way of offering free delivery and then forcing…

Parking ticket in Asda car park - Is this legal, can they take me to court?
On Friday my husband popped to Asda to get some cash out of the mini bank. As it was raining he parked nearest the machine in a disabled bay (I know he shouldn't have done this, but it was raining and car park was not mega busy). When he returned to his car it had a parking ticket on. At first he thought it was a joke, so…

PC World Click & Reserve (?) Service

Needed a new DVD Rom drive (as mine broke). Ordered on off the PC World site and booked it for collection at my local store. It had…
