When I set it up I paid a small amount for the laptop, and obviously they asked me to set up a DD to pay for the calls, so that I couldn’t do a runner owing them money.. This was fine by me. So a couple of months go by and I find that…

John Lewis - poor customer service
Just a warning: I bought a child car seat from JL (Reading). I paid a bit extra for the seat partly because JL were offering a 2 year guarantee and partly because of their reputation. At 13 months the seat developed a fault which prevented it from being used safely. I called JL (the Reading store) for advice on what to do.…
