Which Online - small rant plus some information
On the 17th December this year I started a free trial with Which Online - the consumer website. As I always do - I checked carefully the instructions for cancellation of the account because I have found it pays to do that. On finding that the only apparent way to cancel is by telephoning them I decided to check if they…

Bought a new XBox game and there's no game in the box!
I bought my son a XBox game for Christmas, brand new and sealed, and when I opened it there was nothing in the box. Can't seem to find the companies address, can someone find it for me so I can complain? The game is called Deus Ex 2: Invisible War, and it's made by Eidos I think. The game manufacturer's address that is,…

After xmas they reduced it to £15 how annoyed I was! I noticed they also now had part 2 reduced to £18 (the tax free threshold) I wanted it but I wasn't quick enough they…

DFS - What approach to take
Hi, We bought a leather sofa from DFS (because we like the style) back in October. It was delivered at the start of December and due to redecoration of the lounge, the furniture stayed in its protective wrapping until last week. When removing the wrapping we noticed some defects :- 1. Poor stitching on the top of the back…

I bought some crackers from JTF Wholesales at the beginning of December. Opened them today for christmas lunch and most of the gifts were missing. My son opened up his hat to put on and said that someone had already used it. I though he was joking until he opened it up and someone had written their names in the hats. :eek:…

Stand and Deliver. £30 or your
Here is one to ponder over :mad: Yesterday I was on my way to a friend’s house to take his children’s presents round. As I get to the bottom of my street I notice a cop car parked up over the road with two cops sitting in it. . It didn’t bother me because my car is taxed, insured got a full licence and don’t have any…

Out Of Stock. Out Of Stock. Out Of Stock
This has got to be one of the most hideous sayings I know that certain items like the Wii for example might be hard to find at Christmas, but I just recon that some staff are just too stupid to order enough based on seasonal demand. Yesterday I wanted some cinnamon sticks. I tried all the health food shops, who were 'out…

Nationwide Autocentres
Basically, I've received absolutely rubbish service from Nationwide. Please never go to this garage! Rear wheel came off whilst driving on the motorway, went to Nationwide to replace it. I had a full service done at the same time. Nationwide did not tell me to get my wheels aligned [even though they had put a new wheel on…

Sky+ scam
I was sent a card through the post a couple of weeks ago offering sky+ at half price, tried the number on the card and it says the offer is no longer available. Yet it states clearly in the small print that it ends on the 31st dec. I rang Sky and the staff said i was the 4th person to call that day (regarding the sky+…

john lewis wool shrank despite washing instructions followed, what can I do?
I treated myself to some alpaca/silk wool from John Lewis and spent ages knitting a jumper out of it. When I washed it, it shrank! I followed the instructions and they are saying I didn't and won't help, offer refund or anything. I've been knitting for over 35 years (and as I've got a family seem to spend every day washing…

The Bloody Council
Hi I'm in a serious confrontational situation with the local council. I have had lots of very bad experiences with extremely poor workmanship over the last 12 months. They have lied there tits off to me, even denying they ever said such a thing when in the wrong. They also have missed 4 appointments with me costing me time…

Marks and Spencer - potted plant gift plus failing to answer phone for 16 minuites!
Today we received a potted plant arrangement from a relative via or M and S. Whilst we were very grateful for her generosity we were less enthusiastic about its condition on arrival. Despite all the markings on the box such as "fragile" and "keep upright" the pot was tipped to the side and the plants were falling out. So I…

Treedvd tree dvd
I was going to order from them but was curious to find on the checkout page an option to select "recorded delivery" very odd indeed! further investigation discovered T&C No 19. ALARM BELLS started to ring so I emailed them. It took a while to get a reply to the question - 4 or 5 emails from me 3 from them. My question was…
