Online tax return 2008-2009 RANT
The January 31 deadline again approaches for online returns. When the Revenue first set up its electronic system it was worse than useless but improved as time went by. Then last year it was revamped and this year seems to have been further refined. If like me you are retired but not of State pension age, and don't have…

Mobile Phone Insurance Scams
I would like to warn people who are about to take out a contract with a new mobile phone. Most companies offer insurance and after purchasing the phone within hours you can receive a phonecall from a company pretending to be your legitimate insurance company. You are encouraged on the phone to deal direct with them and…

Vent - Tvs4u a.ka Electronics World WARNING
Bought a tv from this company via Ebay in August 2009. Collected it from a grubby warehouse in Essex, all seemed rather dodgy at the time. TV was considerably cheaper than if I had gone to a high street retailer, which should have been a clue! After 3 months the TV blew up, blue flash, puff of smoke, loud band etc.…

Virgin Media package changes
Hia, No real emotion attached to this because I did resolve it in the end... perhaps a relevant warning to anyone else though! I've been a customer of Virgin Media for a little over two years and have: * Telephone size M * Television thrown in for free (size M) * An additional television with V+ * Broadband - don't ask me…

Electricshopping Not acceptable
Online retailers beware saying you have stock taking orders then showing out of stock and not communicating to customers is fraudulent, dishonest and shows a downright lack of respect to your customers.

Delays in internet orders because of the bad weather
Hi all Not a praise or a rant as such, so not sure if this is the right place to post or not, we will see! Just wondered what everyone's experience of internet shopping orders has been in relation to the bad weather we've handled. I've made three orders recently, one was despatched straight away and arrived a few days…

Im so angry right now I'm RED!
A week ago I cancelled my subscription with a company who I am not too impressed with. Today I called them to tell them what I thought of them and that I would never use them again under any circumstances. The guy who answered listened for a bit, then told me that as he was "Only Customer Service" and the most he could do…

Praise - Apple store
Hi, last night, being an idiot, I dropped my iPhone and cracked the screen very very badly. Stupidly I don't have insurance. Went into the apple store today and they swapped over my phone with no hassles. I did have to pay £139 but thats down to my own stupidity and it was better than paying £440 to replace it on pay as…

More Asda Home Delivery Woes
After all the frustration of having my order cancelled twice, I rebooked it for Tuesday after the big thaw on Sunday and lo and behold it gets delivered...well, two thirds of it does. The delivery woman was late - an hour over the allotted slot - so when the bags arrived, there was just time to bung the frozen and fresh in…

Asda
Hi all When we had the bad weather, I had a bad chest infection. Having a toddler who I look after on my own, it meant I still had to go out and do shopping. I went to a local Asda, about 20 mins walk away through the snow (not easy when you're pushing a pram). When I got there I felt really unwell, nauseous and dizzy. It…

Council's failure to consult properly regarding parking restrictions
Hello, I'll try to keep this short and brief. In a nutshell: We have a major parking problem in our street (and area). The council agreed, launched a consultation but now they've ignored all our comments and are going to proceed with their original plans to impose parking restrictions that we know won't work - and which…

Little Chef.. would you complain?
Bit of a bizarre one. My partner and his friend decided to go into our local Littel Chef last week for a coffee as their nornal cafe was closed due to the snow and ice. A couple of minutes after sitting down, a lady driving a car lost control of it in the car park, narrowly missed our parked car and hit the restaurant…

Emailed HP support via their website and within a matter of 2 hours they had got back to me with a link to update the Geforce driver that solved the problem. I meant to email them back to say…
