What are my rights here?
Good evening campers, My missus went into town last week and bought my lad a couple of Man Utd tops (I know, I know). She got them from Sports World. When she got home it transpired that the tops were too large so she went back into town today to exchange them fo smaller sized tops. Unfortunately Sports World did not have…

Student accounts - Halifax yay! HSBC boo!
Hi there, this is my first posting, so apologies if anything is incorrect. I thought some forum users might like to read a copy of a letter I have just sent to HSBC, and to the Financial Times. Although, as my dad always tells me "A bank is an insitution that gives you an umbrella, and when it rains, takes it away . . ."…

Cineworld Unlimited Cancellation
More a question than a vent. I have set up an unlimited pass with cineworld and must say it is excellent. NOT A CINEWORLD VENT!!!!!!! I have set up a direct debit and filled in the application form online which means I am now in a 12 month contract.....or am I. I have not signed a single piece of paperwork, nor have I…

Who does this number belong to.
We've been getting calls from 0161 22569958 for several days now. Have anyone had similar problems with these people? They don't seem to take 'no thank' for an answer. Thanks.

Fed up with the police
Not sure if this is the right place to post but.... A few weeks ago some man deliberatly rammed me off the road then sped off. Thankfully, (apart from whiplash and a few other minor injuries) me and my passenger where ok but my car has now been in the garage nearly 2 weeks. On the day it happened we managed to get the car…

Pixmania Refund
I bought some computer equipment from Pixmania in January. When it arrived it did not have a UK plug. When I contacted Pixmania they said an adapter should have been in the box as alot of their electrical goods come from the continent. They said they can send one to me but would I like a flat or round adapter. After many…

Gym gripes
Morning all - just wondering if I'd be right to complain about the below? Firstly, there are a lot of men in my gym who 'save' their getting up procedure until they're at the gym - so they don't shower (fair enough as they're going to be working out although it's still unpleasant being able to smell them) but even worse,…

London Mint Office - warning
Hi everyone, It's my first post on the forum - a little warning (I wish I could share some good news but hey, maybe next time) I ordered a coin from the London Mint Office a couple of weeks ago. (Fully aware it's worthless in the UK but it was supposed to be a little souvenir to celebrate a family event.) I was less than…

Ticket Booking Fees - Warrington Parr Hall
It has to be a major rip - ticket booking fees.... I just tried to book some tickets online at Warrington Parr Hall and each ticket gets a £1.30 booking fee, which on a £12 ticket, is a major rip in my book. :mad: I thought there was something that said service processing costs had to reflect the real costs and why, for…

Costco
I just returned to Costco the Samsung 4GB MP3 player which I bought from them a good couple of years ago. I told them that it hadn't been charging properly, but to be honest they didn't really ask anyway. In a blink of an eye they gave me a full cash refund, which they insisted on doing that way as "it's easier then…

Cribbs Causway Comet.....I not happy
I went in there the other day to buy a particular washing machine. I found it on the 'shelf' and the sales man came over and we got talking about it. I said I will just check the model number, which was stored on my phone, to double check it is the one before I buy. Between breaths, two 'ladies' came up, butted in and…

Beware Hanspree!!
Well we now face yet another evening with no properly working TV. Over a week ago we turned our Hannspree 37" TV on to find everything was green. For quite a while before we have had a big black area over the screen, but this 'greenness' makes watching the picture very unpleasant. Anyway, rang Hanspree and was told that…

Is this a scam
Hi Over the last month, I've had two payments into my current account, both of £1000 and both form egg banking. I have no idea who they are from, and can't think of any reason for them. Is this the some sore of elaborate scam? If it is just a mistake and egg have, for no reason, paid me £2000, do I get to keep it? Sam
