Have you been a victim of the internet premium rate dial-up fraud?
I saw this on BBC2 this evening in a programme about a premium rate dial up scam where victims have had (unknowingly to them) a rogue dialer installed on their computer which then dials up premium rate numbers landing them with bills for hundreds of pounds. It seems that they can't get any redress from BT or anybody else…

LaptopsDirect.co.uk - Up for an award - I don't think so!
I recently purchased an expensive laptop from Laptops Direct.co.uk. I chose their site because they were nominated for an award by the magazine What Laptop? I paid an extra £15 to get a Saturday delivery, because I work full time. I waited in all day - it didn't arrive. Customer Services don't work weekends so I called…

Cartridge World
We have an Epson inkjet printer at work which we don't use a great deal, and we always get the cartridges refilled at Cartridge World. (I know there are cheaper options, but this is green, convenient and they give good service!) I've been off sick for a while, so don't know how much it's been used lately. But when I tried…

Compulsory Dvd screens
This issue has been slowly growing inside me for some time, the now common place of multiple company flashy logos that slowly appear on the screen as you play your dvd. Example - I recently purchased Red Dwarf series VII (outstanding, very good - not as good as some of the earlier series, but thats another post for another…

Servis Washing Machine special offer at Powerhouse - cheap, not so cheerful!
:mad: Italian manufacturer, Servis, and phoenix company Powerhouse have got together to offer a sub-£200 Servis washing machine. Avoid like the plague... Quality is poor, back-up poor and attitude towards the customer borders on contempt. Bought a Servis washing machine at Powerhouse (before they went into administration,…

New Shoes - "Wear & Tear" after 10 days
I bought a new pair of boots a couple of weeks ago for #90 - I have worn them for 10 days and already the corners of the heel has worn down on one of the boots (the heels are wide and flat, like mens shoes, they are not stillettoes, just to give you an idea) and they need reheeling. The shoe repair shop said that I…

Credit Notes
First apologies to the administrator if this is in the wrong place! I recently found a credit note that had been issued to me by French Connection for £70. I then noticed to my dismay that it had expired in July 2005. I went into a branch of the store in question and was told that had I tried to use the credit note in…

Claranet T&Cs
Just tried to cancel my Claranet account, which I paid annually and was pointed to the terms and conditions... apparently they don't give refunds, in fact according to the CSR I spoke too they have a "no refund policy". They provide the service "as seen". They can cancel your service for any reason without issuing a refund…
