I paid in full on the 3rd of November and was assured that day, the mistake would be rectified. December statement - more interest added. I have just had…

Home security
Just had a phone call asking me about security systems and do I have one. They are supposedly in my area and I can have a free system installed. So they know my name, my number and the 'area' where I live and now, after the phone call, they now know what system I have. Am I right to be suspicious, if I had not got security…

TESCO PRICECHECK is a con
Went looking on the web for a Nintendo DSI XL on New Years Day. I was amazed to see that Tesco were claimimg to be 99p cheaper than Argos at £159 when Argos was actually charging £139.99. The reason was that Tesco hadn't updated their price checks since 23rd Dec! So you'd think when they did update the pricecheck list the…
