Sky TV - thumbs up
Sent all the info to us when they should. The engineer called this morning to say he'd be here between 12.00 and 3.00. Turned up at 1.30, smooth efficient installation, cleaned up after himself, demonstrated the system, and was friendly and professional. At 3.00, Sky phoned to check how the installation went and we gave an…

Cancelling Boots Vision Plan?
I've been with Boots Opticians now for two years and have to admit I can't fault them. However, I have just found out I'm paying £60 every three months for lenses I can get for £26 (exactly the same) from glassesdirect. I pay by DD and therefore pay three months in advance prior to collecting every three monthly supply. If…

Eden4Flowers - AVOID
https://www.eden4flowers.co.uk I sent my green fingered mother in law flowers for mother day. They died after 5 days, and despite the 7 day guarantee they refused a refund or replacement. They will not talk to you on the phone, preferring to correspond by e-mail (cowardly) and have no problems with providing dreadful…

Ordered a new 500GB hard disc HERE on 26th with free delivery (super saver) and a few other bits and bobs. Items were meant to be delivered until Monday, but arrived safely this morning, 29th.

Global Investment Group
Has anyone had any phone calls from the above company? I believe they are running what is called a "boiler room" scam where they try to sell people worthless shares. This evening I had a phone call from them which turned into an argument when I pointed out to them I was TPS registered and they were breaking the law. Ten…

XBOX games are disappearing
HI All, I am an avid player of my XBOX.... I knwo it is sad, esp. for a 40 year old. But it now seems that the shops are no longer stocking the games, and the magazines aren't mentioning them either. So I wondered if there were any insiders on the forums who could point me in the direction of any "new" XBOX (not 360)…

Are the inland revenue ripping off graduates
I recieved the below message through an email the other day is it true? :confused: For most unsuspecting graduates who are paying back their student loans, the inland revenue takes payments directly from your employer in the same way as they take tax. i.e. the more you earn the more you pay, this includes bonuses etc.…

Bank of Scotland refuse to 'cash' own notes!
I went to a BoS branch today and withdrew 2 x £10 notes. I went to the cashier to get one of them cashed for a fiver and £5 in silver. She asked if I was a customer, and refused to give me cash when I said I wasn't a BoS customer. I argued back and eventually got the cash, but surely this is just wrong. She said every bank…

Ideal World TV shopping - muppets!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just ordered a Kenwood Chef from Ideal World shopping channel. I had a voucher sent in the mail last week for a £5 discount which would at least cover a bit of the P&P. I couldn't find it when I ordered initially so I called after I made the order which was confirmed by email. I called to see if they would deduct the…

PC World gave totally wrong info, please help!
Hi, hopefully someone can give me some advice on what to do. I purchased a laptop from PC World around two weeks ago, on a 'HP' deal. The deal was: interest free for 6 months, after which time interest started to be charged and a direct debit was taken out monthly. If I paid at the 6 month point, I would be charged the…

If the goods go wrong after the first month, Dixons / Currys / PC World will take up to 28 days to repair it. That means no fridge-freezer, no telly, no cooker, no computer, no whatever for a MONTH while they get…

Littlewoods - Awarded a sum of money
I thought I am quite savy, but had to read a letter several times as I can't believe anyone is giving money away for nothing....I received the following letter from Littlewoods: Now the asterisk goes to the small print which states in very small letters; "The award is conditional on being accepted as a Littlewoods credit…

Indesit Washer Dryer problems
Hi all, is this correct place to post this? We have an Indesit Washer Dryer, model WIDL126, which we bought around 5 months ago. The first one broke down and was replaced by Indesit warranty. The replacement, like the original, is literally ruining our clothes, it causes excessive creasing to the point that clothes cannot…
