Social serivices - Glasgow
Spot on to them! My elderly mother fell yesterday and needed A&E treatment. She is now confined in her activities as she's fractured some bones in her arm. Almost immediately carers were 'appointed' and are now coming in to her three times a day (I live 200 miles away). So far, so wonderful! Here's to them remaining…

Comet disappoint again - Quelle surprise!
Won a dishwasher on their auction site. They gave me the earliest delivery date once I had input my post code. Paid and delivery organised for Monday 25th. Got a call today cancelling the delivery as they apparently don't have the item in stock. I wouldn't mind but they set the date - not me! Anyway, cancelled the order,…

Kiddyhome
Kiddyhome website is a scam. Their DVDs are faulty and not original copies. They take your money and do not reply to your emails. Did not check but later found that the company is based in Thailand. Will always check before I buy now that the company is reputable before ordering from the Internet.

Customs and Cigarettes / Tobacco
It is coming up to that time when the vast majority of people go on their summer holidays and as is their want and right if they are smokers will take advantage of cheaper prices abroad. I am sure there are people on here who have been stopped and had their legally bought goods taken off them and in many cases at Dover…

Ebay Idiots.
I've been ebaying for a few years now and I seem to be a magnet for absolute idiot buyers. I once sold the computer game 'Left 4 Dead' on the xbox 360. It had all it's instruction manuals and was in perfect condition. I emailed him after he won it and sent it the very next day after receiving payment.A few days later after…

Gainsborough Council VENT
So first we had the jubilee and then last weekend the popular Riverside Festival. lots of people in the town and along the river, great. But all the gardens and flower beds near this festival were full of weeds several feet high! Then on Tuesday, yes, two days after the festival the weeds were pulled up and some, not many,…

Yodel - what do i do?
Hi, It seems to be common for the Yodel/HDNL tracking service to state that a product has been delivered when it has not. My tracking status is delivered on weds, when i was in fact working away on weds and my partner was away on holiday. Where do i stand with this. Do i contact HDNL or the company i purchased the item…

List of Companies Who Use Hermes Delivery
So after another *fantastic* experience with Hermes (I could rant and rave all day about what a poor joke their service is in my area but there's already an 46 page thread about it here for your enjoyment), I've decided to stop using them as much as possible or, if I have to, to get them to deliver to my alternative…

Natwest hasn´t just affected its customers! What do we get back?
The company my partner works for uses Natwest to pay everyones wages which obviously didn´t happen on Thursday due to the problems. We ended up with returned direct debits with bank charges, unpaid bills etc etc. So suffered in a similar way to Natwest´s customers. Would it be worth complaining to Natwest about this or am…

La Redoute are sorry, but how sorry?
I keep receiving emails from La Redoute telling me that they're sorry that their website was down and want offer me £10. But of course I only get this £10 as a deduction on a purchase of £40. It seems strange to me that a company would send me emails apologising for something and then ask me to hand over £30 of my money.…

Harveys Official Customer Rep - Complaint
Hi I'm new to this so hope I'm doing it right! Does anyone know if the e-mail address for the online complaints rep on other threads about Harveys shocking service is still a valid one? I sent an e-mail to it two days ago after seeing it on here and I've had no reply. I would've expected at least an automated one!? If not…

BT - Credit where it is due
After years of suffering at the hands of the totally useless Talk Talk (via Tiscali) I opted for a broadband ISP switch to BT. They had a good deal and gave all info relating to the switch over once I had my MAC from TT. Sure enough on the chosen day I unplugged the old router, fired up the new BT one and seamless…

faluty Item retrun - Refund promised but not recieved
I bought some boots online (Dorothy Perkins)which fell apart. I returned them start of May and was promised a refund to the payment card in 5-8 working days. No refund appeared, emailed them and told I would get a cheque within 10days - no cheque. They haven't replied to last email and can't get through on the phone. What…

Ikea light
We live an hours drive from our nearest Ikea, so when we go, it's a day out and because of the cost of petrol etc, we only go at most once a year. My and the Mrs had a day out recently there and bought a solar powered camping light thing. Got it home and it's got a fault that means it keeps turning off all the time. I…

Douglas Russell meats
Tried to place an order on line with them and after several attempts to pay, phoned to make the payment. Imagine my surprise yesterday morning, when not only did the order I pay for arrive, but all 7 attempts at payment also. Were unbelievably helpful when I phoned them and were more concerned at organising refund before…

London Bus Strike
Due to the wonderful London bus drivers I have just had to walk 4 miles to work :mad: in the rain and I have to do it to get to my second job tonight. Is anyone else as fed up and annoyed as me? lol

Price difference of parcels EU-UK / UK-EU
Hello, No idea where this fits in otherwise, but it's striking me: Is the British public once again being ripped off? Example: A 2kg parcel UK-Germany costs £18+ cheapest (Parcelforce in this case). Once it left the country it takes no more then two days to arrive. A parcel from Germany of the same size to the UK is around…

book-your-driving-test.co.uk
hi, hope somebody can help, my fiance used this website to book her driving test! The company seems to hide behind a almost po box like address, the phone number is incorrect and the company do not respond to emails. Has any body else had any dealings with them or know anything about them? I have cancelled the debit card…

Sheila's Wheels - please give me strength!
To set the scene - some stupid young girlie drives into me on 3rd June, smashing my door and causing just a few scratches to her car (she started turning into what she thought was an empty space - but it wasn't). How you can miss seeing a 4x4 parking next to you when you are in a Fiat 500 is beyond me! She admits liability…
