Hotel from Hell
I hope I have posted this in the right place. My issue is that I stayed in a terrible hotel which was so bad that I have reported it to environmental health and the tourist board but the arrogance of the owners is unreal and I can't get a refund. I have fished around and google shows that the hotel is owned by a couple of…

£20 to change name on Virgin Media bill. Justifiable???
On my 4th attempt I managed to get through to VM after dozens of menus, minutes of hold music, and a transfer from customer services in India to Scotland. I was actually phoning because I couldn't access my e billing, but I thought I should also let them know of my change of name too, as I recently got married. I could not…

Insurethebox BONUS miles scam
I've just received 0 bonus miles, despite perfect driving. They have now told me that the bonus miles are weighted, and because I drove between 9pm and 11:30pm, I lose all my bonus miles. I took out the insurance on the phone, and asked them about the bonus miles. They didn't say a word about losing miles, and even when I…

Play.com - what can I do?
Hi, I ordered a DVD from Play.com as a gift on 1/6, received it on 6/6 and, on opening, my girlfriend found there wasn’t a disc in the box. I initiated the return on 8/6, sent it back on 10/6 via Play’s Freepost service, but they’ve not acknowledged receipt. I’ve phone three times, totalling about an hour on the phone, and…

Ebuyer failed next-day delivery- refusing full refund
I placed an order on Ebuyer.com yesterday at half two in the afternoon. I chose next day delivery for £7.49. The item has not been delivered today, I have been in touch with Ebuyer who have simply stated that my order will arrive tomorrow, and they have therefore refunded £2, as this is how much I would have saved had I…

Fires Galore - Beware people!! Do not buy from these
I purchased a dimplex cavendish over a month ago at an incredible price..i still do not have the fire which was apparently in stock at the time of purchase. The reason they are selling at such good prices is because they are going bust and taking money for goods they will never ever send out. I looked on Money Saving…

Why do they not put toys in cereal boxes any more?
We got to the bottom of a cereal box this morning and I remembered that when I was younger cereals tended to have some sort of plastic promotional toy in it. I used to love getting the toy in my bowl, no matter how naff it was! My 7 year old daughter also remembers getting toys in cereals so it can only have happened…

Mini ebay vent - listings sold privately
Just getting this off my chest... This week, three auctions I have been bidding on have suddenly cancelled all bids and withdrawn from sale, and in each case I have been the lead bidder (at a few hundred notes), and had another bidder try one bid (I'm still in the lead), try another (I'm still in the lead) then very…

I found this outfit via Google. Their website is very professional looking so I sent my mal-functioning iPod off for assessment. A Tony Ward phoned me back and gave me a quote. I agreed and gave him my credit card details. On 9th May the sum of £86.94 was taken. Since then all I've had is a couple of e-mails saying sorry…

Thomson dodge baggage damage liability
I found an old post from 2007 on the travel board and have added to that as well as I have had exactly the same experience of Thomson refusing liability for luggage wrecked while being taken off a cruise ship. They will accept liability if your case is damaged in their care before/during/after a flight but not while being…

Sainsbury's...my negative experience with home delivery
I just had a really bad experience with Sainsburys and thought others should know. I ordered their 'feed a family of four for 50' thinking brilliant, easy to order and I got £10 pounds off. However, not wanting to pay more, I opted for the 'no swap items' option. What a farce. The delivery turned up with £15 pounds of…
