Unexpected appreciation!
I guess I work on the principle of you cant moan something is wrong and not be prepared to at least try and do something about it - hence my email to Montagne Jeunesse about a technical glitch on their website which meant you couldnt enter their competition as it kept defaulting to a wrong page.

Talk Talk opinions required!
I have been with Talk Talk for 2 years because of the cost although I have found the Technical support very poor at times. Today I have received 2 identical calls stating that if I "Renew my contract" for 18 months they will guarantee to keep the existing price. I felt that they were threatening to put up the price if I…

Antler -great service!
I bought two ABS trolly cases 2 years ago from Antler and they had a 5 year warranty, when they both developed faults (One wouldn't close, the other wouldn't open!) I expected it to be a long winded process to get them repaired and that I would incur some expenses in sending them back. I was wrong! I called Antler and they…

My wife and I moved out of our flat on 3rd April and bought a house. We took final meter readings on the day we moved out from the flat and gave these to Npower. We subsequently got an ‘amended final account’ bill on 17 June which matched the final meter readings we gave which showed us £250 in credit. After 3 months of…

Debenhams flowers - where do I stand?
Hi I ordered some flowers (total cost about £33) online at the beginning of September. It was their 'Blue Eden' arrangement and, as the name suggests, should have contained blue flowers. Delivery was made on the right date, but instead they delivered an all-white arrangement. This might seem petty but it wasn't what we…

MFI - Should I hand over the cash?
I have ordered a kitchen a month ago from MFI and paid a 25% deposit. The balance is due to be paid by saturday and I have read some rather worrying reports over MFI's status.
