Play.com Refund? ARG
I pre ordered a ps3 from Play.com back in June 2006 and completely forgot about it, so imagine my surprise when it was sent out. I thought fair enough I will phone them and get the item returned, well this is where the problems started. I got a collection arranged and was told it would cost me 8 pounds to get it collected.…

sky versus NTL
I signed up to Sky as they told me I could get 3 for £26. I know they exclude the bt rental. I got 3 for £30 with NTL but I thought I could save money with the phone and free broadband. However after being assured I could get the free broadband and deal for £26-they now tell me that the cheap broadband is not available in…

Parking Penalty Appeal Information
I have recently successfully appealed two penalty fines imposed by private parking attendants. I hope the methods I used might prove useful to others. The first was an easy one -the handwritten street name was mis-spelt. Result; fine waived. However the second method might have broader application. Please note that this…

Loyalty card scam!
I've only seen this in operation with Nectar cards, but it's probably to be found elsewhere as well. Obviously, Nectar is mainly to be found in Sainsburys, but other retailers do participate in the scheme. In several non-Sainsbury petrol stations, I've noticed staff not swiping my card, and substituting their own instead.…

www.baby2k.com
Just bought a Phil & Teds buggy from these people. Price was best I could find with accesories, came 24 hours later as promised. Found 1 item missing, called and left a message and got a call back within 5 minutes, got an apology and will send for delivery next day. I know this is how it should be but so often isn't.:T

Small Claims Court case
I am uncertain whether I can make a Small Claims Court case against the manufacturer of a second hand electronic product I bought last September. I bought an hi fi amplifier last September for 750 pounds. This was from a fellow user of a forum I use, and the amp had just returned from repair from a well known dealer and…

Tesco price increase
Tesco do their 1000 price cuts across the store and I know that they will do 1000 price increases too (but obviously that part is not advertised!!!) I went to buy my usual Tesco fabric softener which is normally 83p and this week the price has increased to 1.00!!! This really annoyed me that it has been increased by 17p. I…

SHARPER IMAGE EUROPE: vanishing act???
We purchased an electronic item from Sharper Image in December as a Christmas present to ourselves. Our order specified a UK plug, but when we opened the box, the plug wasn't there. In January we emailed Sharper Image support who apologised for the missing plug and said they would have it sent out to us from the USA,…

Forzieri - how many times do I have to flush before they will just go away?
I inadvertently (excuse the spelling it's probably wrong!) subscribed to a newsletter from Forzieri and have now unsubscribed four times. I still receive their newsletters & it's frustrating as anything - Argh... that is all I just had to have a rant about it - it's really annoying me!

Contacting Tesco - 0845 Numbers
I wrote to Tesco after I had some bad ham. I only wrote as the store I went to can only be contacted by using 0845 number @ 4p a min. After nearly a month I got a reply. Nothing in the letter to apologise for the vile ham, infact it was not mentioned. They did however go on how fantastic their new salt labelling system is…

Sleep Easty Deb Advisory Services Touting for Business??
This lot sent a letter to my OH introducing themselves and "offering" their services as they had noted that he may have recently had a CCJ issued against him. When he called them to find out how they got his details, they told him that they'd purchased the right to access his details from the court. Surely this is against…

Wee rant about Wetherspoons and proof of age!
No advice needed, I just wanted to have a little “raar” about the local Wetherspoons pub. The manageress there seems to have little understanding of the licensing legislation and acceptable forms of proof of ID. My fiancé is 19, and looks his age so he is regularly IDed when we are out in town. He has a Citizencard as…

Its moorcroft debt recovery ltd wanting payment for a debt, in a name that is not mine, for a person that has, as far as I know, never lived here. The postcode is a commercial area across the road,…
