Debt collector 'trying it on': how do I complain?
I had a shock with this morning's post: a really unpleasant letter from a debt collector, demanding money "or else". Buried in the small print, I found that it was supposed to be money owed on an energy bill to Powergen for a flat where I lived (briefly) about three years ago. My first instinct was to pay it quickly, but I…

You can renew the insurance for £x per month by simply returning this form' blah blah. The important thing is that he checked the model…

Harvey's Furniture
Every time I see all the adverts for Harveys on the TV at the moment it makes me sick to my stomach. How on earth is this company still trading? They should invest some of their advertising budget in decent staff training and customer service. Then again, that wouldn't attract more customer to be ripped off by their shabby…

Thorntons Easter Eggs - What's the point??
For the second year running Thorntons have flattered to deceive. Despite getting a weeks notice to deliver Eggs to aunts in Scotland (and not to the outer Hebrides, but Edinburgh) they have just told us that despite three days of promises they won't get there till next Tuesday. What an absolute bunch of wasters. Can…

NTL/Virgin contract cancellation
My daughter has had to move back in with us and has tried to cancel her ntl/virgin phone line and broadband service. When she phoned up she was told that she would have to pay a lump sum of £300+ which doesn't sound right to me. She doesn't have any contract details we can look at, but she is adamant that she was unaware…

Patientline Protest May 1st
I feel sorry for those in hospital at the moment who are effectively being held to ransom by the money makers at Patientline, and the stupid price they are increasing phone calls for. As well as this, the cost of TV is paid for over a 24 hour period - not 24 hours of viewing, but 24 hours which starts when you activate the…

Since 23rd Feb have been trying to get this money…
