**Inland Revenue Privatised, Is Now In Vietnam**
I haven't come across this one before so apologies if it's an old-familiar. I've today received an email from HM Inland Revenue advising of a tax refund of GBP 284.96p. This would, of course, have been good news had the email come from, er, HM Revenue & Customs. And contained a £ sign, instead of GBP. The email is the…

Warning - Faulty "K9 Tales" Doctor Who DVD
A new Doctor Who DVD is released next week - "K9 Tales" featuring the stories The Invisible Enemy and K9 & Company. There's apparently a horrible disc authoring error on The Invisible Enemy which re-arranges scenes and ruins the third episode. Right before the cliffhanger sadly. The manufacturers will probably offer a…

Faulty PC monitor - got receipt - not accepted as proof of purchase !?
Hi folks, I bought a PC monitor from a well-respected computer fair. I have the Switch receipt for £145, dated 9th March 2008. It has developed a fault where the screen goes completely dim for ages then sometimes kicks back in, sometimes not. I know it's the monitor as I have just changed the motherboard and graphics card,…

Builder takes money and runs - any advice?
Hi, my dad paid £4000 (upfront!)to a builder for work in his house. They left him with live electric wires hanging out of the ceiling and 3/4 of the work unfinished and rubbish left in his garden. He has since found out that the VAT number quoted by the builder on his invoice does not exist. I have also found out from…

schwarzkopf live color xxl
I bought their absolute platinum hair dye, used it and now my hair is all patchy ranging from yellow to my natural colour of medium blonde! It looks awful! My hair wasn't dyed before I used the product and when I've dyed my hair on previous occasions with other brands of dyes it has always turned out fine. Needless to say…

Tesco milk?
Is anyone else noticing it going off awfully fast lately? This is the second bottle in a row I've had go off within two days of opening and well before the sell-by date - this particular bottle isn't due up until the 15th. Problem seems to be just with whole milk - semi-skimmed is fine - and they've both been four pinters.…

Pipex - offered a strange "upgrade"
Signed up for Broadband with Pipex a few years ago. Chose them, as they were the only ones doing unlimited usage. Took basic package which was £15 for 250kbps. A year or so ago, was called and offered an upgrade (for same price) to Up to 8Mbps as that's what all their packages were now on. Agreed, on the understanding that…

Positive Customer Service Experiences when things go wrong
We often share tales of poor customer service, and people understandably tend to post only when they are annoyed at being treated badly. But are there any companies which consistently do well? I guess I am meaning not just places that provide the service they say they do (there's many companies I've never had to complain…
