Is this legal?
My sister went to a schoolwear shop in St Helens, Merseyside (don't know if I can name them on here) to buy a badge as my nephew's school blazer is getting too small. As he only has 1 year to go in school, she thought it would be cheaper, as a single parent, to buy a plain black blazer for £10 from a supermarket and buy a…

Travelodge website hacked
Has anyone else on here had their details hacked following a booking via Travelodge? I just read about it on the BBC website and realised that I had received the phishing email reported. I just deleted it anyway as it was an obvious scam email. I have not had any personal correspondence from Travelodge and I was just…

Lloyds Bank
Yesterday my bank telephoned me for feedback on my local branch. I was honest with them and said I had waited only 5 minutes to get served and gave a fair response to the questions. They asked if I had anything I would like to add so I told them I was in the process of transferring my direct debits with a view to closing…

Dfs **vent alert**
OH and I went to DFS "For a look" last Sunday. Needless to say, the hardsell was given and we decided to see if OH could get the sofas on credit...4 yrs free and nothing to pay until Jan 2012 - nice!! Salesman gave us the spiel about the "Sofas come with a stain guard for 5 years" and how we'd only have to put down an £80…

Smiley Hippo photobook cheap but not cheerful
I ordered a photobook and my order was acknowledged and credit card debited. Two weeks later I get an e mail telling me I had not uploaded any files so they could not process my order. This makes no sense. To order, you first have to download their software and compile a book then send it. You cannot make an order without…

Every checkout queue is the wrong one!!
Anyone else afflicted by this? I cannot actually ever recall thinking - "!!!!!! - that looked like the speediest queue - and it was by a mile - suckerss!!!!" It never works out that way for me. Example earlier. Either side of me at least 3 people in the line with full baskets. I went to the "empty" checkout - The old…

Esso selling petrol door to door?
Just had someone at my door from Esso selling petrol. Unleaded for 140.9p for a liter! Why would I pay extra to have it on my door when I could put it straight in my car for less?

Anglian Home - window obstructed by pipe
I just had my front windows and porch replaced by Anglian Home, it all went well and I was happy with the work, but now I realised that one of the windows in the porch doesn’t open. When the Anglian Home sales person came he put the window openings on the left and right side panels of the porch. Now when we open the right…

Sure enough, "CREDIT SALE search of your credit report by ROYAL & SUN ALLIANCE INSURANCE PLC" I'd like to know what this is about, so I call their (Credit Expert's) number from the help page, and it is a Fax or something. So I email the,…

Identity fraud - how do i get my own back?!
Hello, I learned last week that somebody opened a littlewoods account with my details etc and ordered £500 worth of stuff. Littlewoods apparently suspected fraud as the delivery address was different so cancelled the order and wrote to me at the billing address. Fortunately it was all cancelled and no harm was done. I've…

Praise
Ordered mattress from mattressonline yesterday. Delivered today. Great service. Good price. Free delivery. Of all the moans and bad customer service I have dealt with of late this is one worthy of praise. Don't get me started on the awful delivery + dreadful customer service ones. It'll make me hyperventilate!

Vent!! Lipsy "lack of" customer service!
I am so angry!! I bought an expensive Lipsy dress in May for 55.00, I have worn it 4 times and weekend before last all the stiching down on side came undone (The dress was 1 size too big as well, so it wasnt like I was busting it). I couldnt find the receipt but took it back to Victoria Centre store in Nottingham armed…

HDNL rant!
:mad: Hopeless Delivery Network morelike. I paid for nominated day delivery, to my work address for yesterday. I did this on purpose so that should the items be unsuitable, I could return them in store today on my (annual) trip to town. It didn't turn up, so I rang them to be told the driver couldn't deliver because a bus…
