Setanta Sports ....pay per con
A few months ago I tried to buy a pay per view boxing match from setanta. I went through the automated booking system 6 hours before the fight. They actually switched on the broadcast on my TV just after the fight had finished. I cancelled the payment - not paying for an event that they failed to supply. A few weeks later…

Sky
I just got a letter from Sky saying that I had cancelled a subscription. This is not the case. So I rang them on their expensive 08700 number and after the usual 6 options I got to speak to an indian lady andtold her my problem. Straightaway she said sorry, it was a mistake and they sent this erroneous letter to everybody.…

Hewlett Packard "cashback" promotion
I try to avoid purchases with a cashback offer because it's paid for in the price anyway and a lot of companies hide pitfalls in the ts & cs for the offer. Anyway I purchased a HP laptop early Nov. last year, there was a£50 cashback offer. I fulfilled the requirements and a few days later received a confirmation e-mail…

Belling -astounding
Here's the short version. Buy a Gas oven made by Belling. Install it Saturday. Open main oven door for the first time, and the outer glass (there is inner glass as well) explodes into a million pieces. There must have been some sort of weakness in it for this to happen so easily. I dread making the phone call to Belling,…

C.A.R.S (creditlink account recovery solutions Limited).
Today i recieved a letter from C.A.R.S asking for £30.23 for my old van insurance (mid 2006). I paid the insurance company around £50 for cancelling when the van melted (parked next to my mams car when it exploded) so i hoped that would be the end of the matter, but obviously not :mad: . worst of all it looks like the…

Arriva Trains - Do I have grounds to complain?
After a 10 hour flight, I arrived at a very wet & windy Manchester Airport on Saturday night- and boarded an Arriva Train with my 2 children (9 & 11) to get home. We had 2 changes to make - and had no problems with the 1st 2 trains. Our final journey (2 hours) was via a bus supplied by Arriva (as stated in our tickets).…

Harveys Furniture takes me for a RIDE
Apologies if this is not the currect forum for this. I found it to be closest to what I'm facing at the moment. I booked a 4 piece sofa set and a dining set from Harveys Basingstoke on 25 October 2007. The store had promised me a pre-christmas delivery. As we were moving in a new house and I did not have a firm date for…

Broken office chair
I have an office chair that I use for my computer. The reclining mechanism has felt a bit funny for a while so I took the base off the chair and found that the steel mounting plate has sheared around the reclining mechanism. I found the receipt and I bought the chair in March 2006, from Staples for £80.99. Would I get…

Tesco green clubcard points.
It's my new years resolution to use less plastic bags, so I've been keeping my resuable bags in the car instead of in my house so I won't forget. I went to tesco yesterday armed with my bags, when my items got scanned, I ended up using 3 of my own bags which surely would equate to 3 clubcard points worth 3p. Is it my job…

Kenwood Juicer - "The Independent" Reader Offer
A good example of 'Check the customer reviews before you buy'!! My wife ordered this Kenwood JE770 '3-in-1' juicer. Only when she got it and though it too large, did she think of checking the reviews. Shock horror! :eek: The concensus seems to be a) it leaks fruit juice out of the base into places wher you can't clean it…

DON'T ORDER FROM e-Xcessories!
This company appears to have ceased trading but has left it's website active, so they'll (apparently) take your order but you won't be able to contact them and no goods will arrive. :eek: (Interestingly, the site displays a lot of customer reviews which plainly warn you not to buy!) I did a Google search for 'e-Xcessories…

Eruditor.com of Hastings.
Book sellers. Anyone dealt with this company? Ordered from them over a month ago. Not a great amount, but its the principle. No reply to messages sent. Although in their terms and conditions it does say ' our capability to answer your messages is very low, to keep staff costs down '. Thinking I've been had.
