Pandora bracelets- bad aftercare/poor quality

Hi all, Wanted to vent some frustration at tempcover.com! Needed to use them a while back for some temp car insurance. 1. Unable to use their web site as it refused to accept any of my email addresses - they seem to perform a check and if your email address doesn't end in .co.uk they can't deal with it. 2. As they can't…

I was told it would probably come, so I waited up to 11.30pm. It didn't come. Spent another 15 minutes on the phone today, and found out the…

I have since discovered that it would have been cheaper if I'd booked it at their 'normal' rate.
