Hotpoint nonsense!
My washer dryer broke down so took out a £160 one year policy with hotpoint, a few days later they sent an engineer round. It wasnt drying clothes anymore and was leaking a small amount of water on the floor when washing. I told him this. He was here for ten minutes, said yep it needs a new heater but you can still use it…

Samsung Movies / Clickandbuy
Back in May Samsung welcomed me to the movies and I watched The Changeling for 99p. I had to subscribe to Clickandbuy to make it happen and I thought Clickandbuy sounded much the same as Pay Pal. But, while Pay Pal deposits a small amount of cash into your bank account so that you can verify it (and takes you through a…

Well done Apple
Almost a year since I got my iPhone 3G. The other day I noticed that the dock connector lead for charging it was splitting at the USB connector so I went on the Apple website to see if I could get a replacement. Filled in their warranty request form and it came back and said they would replace it. Made the warranty claim…

Michael Jackson Ticket Refunds - anyone having problems?
Just wondered if anyone else was having problems with getting a refund from ticketmaster? I applied for a refund about 5 weeks ago. Said it could take up to 21 days. After 21 days and no refund I called ticketmaster, who said that I just had to be patient, and that it was 21 working days, not 21 days. So i waited to the 21…

phonespamfilter.co.uk
Should this website be allowed? If you Google my phone number the only result is on that site, and they just seem to list reams and reams of phone numbers. Every friend and family member I tried are on there and some of us are ex-directory. There is an option to remove your number but it all seems a bit dodgy. The site is…

T shirt from peacocks caused blisters!
My boyfriend bought a top from peacocks and wore it. The next day he had an awful red blistery rash on his shoulder which we believed the T shirt caused as it is the only new thing that has been in contact with his skin. What should we do, take the top back and get a refund or write in and complain?

Tesco - Another Rant
I visited the South Aberdeen store this morning and for the 4th time in the last 6 weeks they do not have any operators on the "conveyor" belt checkouts. They only have open the self serve and the two "basket" checkouts. Now, when you have a trolley full of groceries, using either of these is not ideal. I don't like their…

Love Film - surprisingly pleasing trial cancellation...
Just wanted to say how impressed I was with LoveFilm's handling of my trial cancellation. I signed up on a 30 day trial from a Sol beer offer, and being the greedy type I went for the top package 3-at-a-time Games+DVD package that would normally be £18+.... I made good use of it and played a game for most of the month and…

Thumbs up for Ikea Belfast!
Bought a table in January and didn't open it until this week only to find it was the wrong colour. Even though it was well outside the 90 day 'no quibble' return period, they took it back with a smile. Cue great relief all round. The assistant who dealt with us was just so nice I felt the need to tell others. :j
