O2 and their faulty phones!
I have to say that my Blackberry from O2 served me well through the first 18months of my 24 month contract. And when the trackpad broke I thought it was wonderful that they would send it off for repair and everything would be fine again albeit in a weeks time. A week came and I recieved a replacement phone as they couldn't…

SWINTON insurance
My son moved into a new build flat in May 2012. I immediately got him to take out contents insurance with Swinton.

Phoned Swinton to inform them…

Gumtree flat renting scam in London
This scam is not new and it had been on the news before. However, they've made a slight alteration to the wordings and it seemed to be working because I've managed to spot at least 7 of them and they even went as far as featuring the ads! Their business must be expanding! Here are the common features of the ads: - They…

Orange - Vent, warning and a little advice?
As you're probably aware, I've vented about Orange on several occasions, however one problem seems to be leading onto another with them. I'm hoping to get the attention of the Orange rep by posting full details here. The only praise that can be given is that they've admitted wrongdoing on their part, however now comes the…

Apna/not apna currys
I've heard recently if you walk into a Indian restaurant and order food, the type of food you get depends on your ethnicity. Apparently if you are white British you get food in a more western way. If you are Asian you get it in the apna style which is conpleyelu different. I've done a few tests and this appears right. Does…

Unsolicited text
Received a text from 07503397057 telling me that I may not have to pay my debts, all I had to do was text back. Needless to say I haven't, nor have I text back to stop further texts in case it somehow costs me money (yes, I know I have a suspicious mind). Anyone know who this lot are?

If any of their families read posts on here please accept my sincere condolences in their very sad bereavement. It is astonishing that the police officer who was apparently called a pleb in Downing…

Next: Problem after problem
Back in July I ordered 2 matching swivel chairs, on their "Buy 2 get £50 off deal". I ordered online which meant I had to get a Next Credit Account, and was told it would be up to 5 weeks for delivery. After 4 weeks I checked the Order Status online and things just didn't look right to me, so I phoned them. They assured me…

Topshop taking my card out of sight...
Just been to a local topshop to take an item back. The woman asked how i paid, i said by paypal but i had the card with me, she then asked for my card and wandered off out of sight for 5 minutes with it with no explanation!!!!!!

Argos
Absolutely shambolic, ordered a TV it is out of stock for delivery. They don't inform you of this, you wait in all day for it to be delivered, then when it doesn't arrive you phone them, they inform you to phone back in 5 days time to re arrange delivery. Then when you say this isn't good enough, and ask for a refund you…

I got a wonga loan a few months ago of 100.00…

I spotted a bargain on there on tuesday - high protein milkshakes, £2.49 for a pack of 8 (31p each). they are normally a little pricey, but i have seen them recently at asda reduced to clear at a similar price per bottle, so assumed that this was a reduced to clear offer, so stocked up as the listing clearly stated that it…
