I cannot go into detail as multiple criminal cases are pending Santander employ a lot of dodgy bank staff who steal hundreds of thousands of pounds.

Argos Cash Back!!!!!!!
As I live a long way away from superstores or in fact any shops where I can buy reasonbly priced ink cartridges I accessed our nearest Argos site to look up availability and as they only had a couple in stock at a cost in excess of £53 I reserved them and in doing so I noticed across the middle of the page in red it said I…

Praise - Diamond car insurance customer service
I don't often feel the urge to praise customer service departments (well, never tbh :o ), but after a phonecall with Diamond this evening I just wanted to praise them for their wonderful customer service. I've been with them for 4 years now, and have called them a handful of times over the years for various reasons, and…

Vodafone are the pits!
Apparently this was posted in the wrong place, so here it is again in the right place: A short while ago I was approached by Evolve to upgrade my cell phone with Vodafone. I didn't like the upgrade and sent it back within a few days. I also decided to leave Vodafone because their coverage isn't good for me. I had quite a…

Asda price guarantee, has it changed?
I have just done an online check of my Asda receipt and its not the first time I have done it. Early last year I got a voucher every time I checked as it wasn't ever 10% cheaper and when checking the individual comparison link under each rival supermarket almost every item was included. I have noticed this time that on a…

British Gas Homecare 200
Had this a couple of years now. Price went from about £12.50 a month to £12.64 last year. So far so acceptable. Charge has now shot up to £16.51 a month. We've never claimed on it, never had them out to repair it, but suddenly a 30% increase? On-line price offering it "from" £11.50 a month -presumably for new customers as…

Washing machine liquid tops struggling to open.
These washing machine tops that have the measuring cap as the top just kept twirling round and round for me, thought I was being a bit dense until I mentioned it at an Oap club I go to seems I'm not on my own. Do eventually manage to open them but never put the top back on properly just rest on on top of the bottle so I…

Audible puzzle
Hmm I'm not sure that what I'm posting is exactly a vent but I'm puzzled about it so I'm going to write about it anyway. I had a free trial of Audible. Chose a long, long, long free book which was fairly pricey (very money saving) and loved it. So I signed up for the 24 book deal and am so far really enjoying the books.…

Junk leaflets and cards
We stuck "No Junkmail" sticker on the letter box but pizza takeaway and taxi firms ignore it and leave cards and leaflets. The thing is, they are also littering our front path as well as putting them through in our letter box.

Flash Wipes falling apart!
Hi, Has anyone else bought Flash Wipes of any type which say "stronger and softer" than previous wipes yet they fall apart under normal usage? I have got nowhere by calling them on 0800 028 3292. Please let me know/ call them as this clearly is a rip-off, they might be softer but they certainly aren't stronger when you…

Increase in 'pay now' and we'll cancel if not in stock
Has anyone noticed that there seems to be an increase in online companies who take payment immediately the customer orders an item? Tesco have the been one of the biggest culprits of advertising goods that are not actually in stock. But looking around they are not the only ones. It cannot be right that a company processes…
