Missed call scam?
I had a missed call on my phone from a number I didn't recognise: 07911879289 I called the number back incase it was business related, and got an automated response which I couldn't hear properly. I think it said something along the lines of "hi, I'm wynona (or wynerma, something that sounded like that) and I'm going to…

Grr - Not Impressed with Lloyds TSB!
Hi everyone, I hope this is the right place to sound off? I just wanted to tell you how VERY unimpressed I am with my bank! I have 2 accounts, one single and one joint. The single one I have had since school days, and what started off as an ordinary current account changed to become a 'select' account, whereby each month a…

Evans Halshaw - Doncaster
My mum has just bought a used car (53 reg Renault Laguna) from Evans Halshaw in Doncaster. To say their service has been poor is an understatement. They arrived to pick up the car at a time agreed with the salesman but had to wait an hour for him to finish with other customers, it seemed that as he knew he had their sale,…

What does Unlimited mean?
Now to you and me unlimited means just that - having no limit. So how come I am reading a T-Mobile advert which says "unlimted free weekend texts" and in the small print it says "limited to 3000 texts in a weekend". Granted you must be some sad, lonely individual if you send over 3000 texts in 48 hours but surely this is…

Boots the Opticians - beware
I recently scratched one lens of a new pair of glassess. I was expecting that the single lens could be replaced but no Boots wanted to replace both. A message received from their customer care department states - " I am sorry to hear of the inconvenience you are being caused now that we do not replace single lenses. This…

BT Broadband, Stealth Contract Renewal
Another fuming with BT thread I'm afraid. I've just phoned for a MAC code to switch to O2 but I'm tied in with them until Nov this year. It would appear that when I phoned up to report a faulty home hub last Nov they renewed my contract at the same flipping time as ordering me a new hub. I've just spent 20 minutes on the…

On the 28th February we bought the wii freeloader from them (it is Datel's own shop). Their website said despatch would be approx. 2 days. Last friday when it still hadn't been shipped…

Three mobile broadband
I have recently taken out a 24 month contract (at £10 per month) with Three. Before taking out this contract, I asked online (in a text-based chat) whether or not a particular postcode had coverage. This was because I would mostly be using it at my work address. I was promised the following: - That I would have a 384KBits…

Tesco "10 items or less" checkout.
What is the point of having "10 items or less" checkout, when the staff make no effort to enforce it?! This woman two people infront of me, in the "10 items or less" queue, had 22 items (mainly clothing) in her basket, each requiring the security tag taking off. To make matters worse, she then held up the entire queue by…

I pointed out that it was only two weeks old and…
