Santander: Steer clear
I was with Alliance & Leicester for years, never any problems. They were recently been taken over by Santander and it's been a disaster of titanic proportions. 1) in the systems merge, they got my address wrong. When I phoned up to correct it, they told me I had to go to the branch. When I went to the branch they said my…

InMotion Hosting
The best web host I have ever had. Best thing about them is their 24/7 online chat support, which is the most helpful and friendly support I've ever come across. All for a price which is comparable to a lot of inferior hosts. I could not recommend them highly enough. inmotionhosting.com

Southern Electric
Earlier on in the day I had a Southern Electric canvasser around telling me to switch and how I didn't understand deregulation and pricing. Normally when I'm working I see them approaching other houses and log onto uSwitch. When I answer the door I hold the laptop and show them who is cheapest. Gets rid of them sharpish.…

Santander are the worst bank ever
OMG! I have had so many problems with my accounts since Santander took over Abbey and they have just added another one to the list today. I am selling my flat and need to extend the lease hold. Management Company today informed me the cheque I sent them for their admin fee (£88.13) was sent back to them today for…

Praise for Sainsburys Online
Would like to praise Sainsbury Online for the prompt and courteous we received. Freezer died Saturday afternoon; we ordered a replacement for Sainsbury’s Online. (After due diligence, researching best buy, best cost and delivery options etc..) Phoned Sainsburys on Sunday because we’d input an incorrect telephone number.…

Bit of both for Nandos
Went to our local Nandos for a meal on Friday, usually very good there. Well we ordered, we sat down, we waited....and we waited....and we waited. After 40 minutes we grabbed a waitress who said she'd find out where our order was, and she zoomed by a little later saying 'it's just coming' over her shoulder to us. Another…

Refunding stolen money. Thank You Halifax Bank.
On Friday I had £200 stolen from the cash point without even realizing it had happened!!! A bloke came up to me and started tapping me on the shoulder demanding 50p. Then he came round the other side and put a newspaper over the screen and another bloke started shouting was I using the cashpoint etc. I shouted at them to…

Barclaycard timewasting
Today I received a limited promotion flyer for Barclaycard premium. This is a complete waste of time as they know I don't fit the criteria. I'm under 21 and a student (so therefore not earning the minimum required!) What would be helpful would be if they fixed the student barclaycard application page on their internet…

Rant about Punch Pub's in Leicester
Sorry for the rant but i'm mad at the way we were treated at these pubs! As a family we stayed in Leicester for the weekend. Whilst there we went out to a pub for family meals. The first pub - Gynsills - served us a meal that had gone cold. I went up to complain about this to the chap behind the food counter and I was told…

Bella Bathrooms
I'm hoping someone can offer me some advice. We placed an order with Bella Bathrooms 2 weeks ago, i rang them several times last week and was given the run around as to when stock would be available. They took the funds from the credit card the day the order was placed. I have tried contacting them yesterday several times…

Blackberry & Carphone Warehouse
Just need to let off steam :o I took out a contract for DD 17yo a Blackberry from Carphone Warehouse 5 weeks ago (she's paying me back, but as she's under 18, she can;t have the contract herself). On Saturday the screen went white. She's tried everything and it refuses to come back on. She can receive and make calls (as…

Praise for Skoda
When I was a young lad recounting jokes about Lada and Skoda cars, I never thought I'd end up owning one and heaping praise on it. Anyway, we recently had a 60K Service carried out on our Octavia VRS which went swimmingly. 2K miles later there appeared to be problems relating to the fuel injectors. We took it back to the…

Prices in Comet - buyer beware
Went to comet at weekend to buy a cooker. Saw this and rather liked it (£699) http://www.comet.co.uk/shopcomet/product/335193/CANNON-KENDAL-C60EKK Then googled whilst I was in the shop (much to annoyance of salesman) and saw this http://www.pricerunner.co.uk/pl/101-663797/Cookers/Cannon-C60EKK-Black-Compare-Prices Nearly…

NHS Rant...
I recognise that others are going to be in much greater need than I am, but I still want to get this rant off my chest. I'm waiting to have surgery on my face to deal with a range of breathing problems and complications. This first started in January and I saw my GP in March. I was referred to hospital in May. The first…

Royal Mail! - Envelope Cut
My sons baptism was at the weekend, his great grandparents couldn't be there so they sent the card by post fortunately with a cheque inside. They handed it in over the counter at the post office, it arrived to DS2 on Saturday having been cut at the fold! Royal mail knew it had been damaged and put it in a plastic bag! Im…

John Lewis extended warranty can be a problem
We buy all our white goods from John Lewis as they have an extended warranty and usually their customer service is awesome. Word of warning. We bought a £900 oven from John Lewis AEG D98000VFM electric cooker. It came from John Lewis with a form which extended the warranty to 5 years, so I filled it in and sent it off. The…

Customer service? Tesco seem oblivious.
I am a fan of Tesco, have been for a long time. CS today were downright rude to me. My Tesco credit card got left at the CS desk Tuesday night - they didn't hand it back to me after adding on extra CC points and I didn't realise this until Wednesday. I rang the store, yes that's fine, we've got it. We'll hold it until you…

Praise for Halfords
There service of replacing headlight bulbs for £5.99, they do it in mins, takes me ages and I mess up my knuckles . Money well spent. No excuse to be driving around with a bulb gone.
