Ebay Vent
I sell occasionally, just personal clearout stuff but I'm finding that the process is becoming increasingly annoying: 1) I'm seriously wondering - does Ebay have a newish and bored/cracked web designer (or whatever they're called)? The format of listings and the process of listing seems to change every time you log in…

Twitter grabbing your phone book contacts!
I know this could be classed as tech, for the tech board, but I think this goes wider than a technical issue therefore, I am putting this here. I use an Android phone, and have been irritated by the new practice by Twitter of slipping in an "import your contacts" in amongst twitter feeds. I do not want to do this but…

HotCrazyDeal.com
Official Insert: Our News Team's just looked into this. Read our Facebook Pulls HotCrazyDeals Ads after Users lose Money news story. Back to the original post... Is this website a scam? I can't find any reviews on the internet and yet their deals seem to be better than Groupons. Thanks.

Halfords
OK so went to my local Halfords to buy some spray for my car as it needed touching up and a friend of mine said if i got the paint they would do it..(they have done it a few times and know what they are doing, not just some random friend who didnt know what they were doing) Got to Halfords they had no paint in tins but…

Barclaycard refund
We bought a pizza from Domino and despite being promised a refund because of a problem it never materialised. As we paid using our BC I complained to them. They were very helpful and refunded the amount without question. I did say would not now check with Domino and they said no and accept what I say is correct. Brilliant…

The Financial Helpline?
Okay, I made the mistake of answering a call Out Of Area!!! Very bad line Indian guy knew my full name and said he was from The Financial Helpline. I said, "No thanks." and hung straight up. I have never had any dealings with these people and a google search shows addresses in the UK to get help with UK phone number.…

Tesco phone nightmare
Moved from consumer rights. Long story so bear with me. I purchased my daughter an iphone in February this year, it has since developed a fault where the lock button at the top of the phone has stopped working. I called Tesco and they said no problem and would send out an envelope for me to return it to them and they would…

KNOWHOW....Know Nothing!!!
Just a rant to be honest but i am at the end of my tether with the KNOWHOW team at Curry's. I really want to stop paying the monthly installments but its likely just to make it worse. My complaint is twofold, firstly I believe firmly that I have been mis-sold a multicare policy dating back a number of years but this has…

WARNING - A.T.M. Scam
I lost £200 last night due to a scam at an ATM, which I now know is called The Lebanese Loop (after reporting to Fraud Team). Basically you think the machine has swallowed your card for some reason, and retained the money, but it has been tampered with and you are being watched until you leave, then the false skimming…

Studio 24
On Saturday I got a supplement in my newspaper from Studio 24, found a cardi I had been looking for for a while which was reduced to £4.99. The only reference to P&P was new customers got free delivery if spending over £20 so presumed I would be charged a reasonable delivery. Rang my order in over the phone, great,…

Vent .....Letting Agents....Grrrrrr
How can Letting Agents justify the charges they make to tenants? Once again,the letting agent for the property that I rent has relieved me of £120 just torenew the contract. It’s a property that does not belong to them, nor do theyhave any dealing with the property throughout the year as this is always donedirectly with…

Praise - Subway
Following on from my post the other day about sandwich shops handling cash and preparing food with the same gloves, I thought I'd post a positive story from the same industry. Subway staff manage to wear disposable gloves to prepare food, then remove them to use the till, before washing hands and putting new gloves on…

air ambulance clothes recycling
This may be just a rant and maybe a warning. I was told today that the man in a van who goes round emptying the big yellow metal bins for clothes (the ones that are normally in car parks next to the bottle banks) gets paid £85 for each bin load he collects. (hhmm seems like quite a lot for a charity to pay out imo) But he…

Mobile by Sainsbury's - useless response !!!!
An American friend has asked me to get him a cheap phone package for when he visits the UK in Dec (UK calls only). I look around - Sainbury's basic PAYG looks ideal - there is one question that I can't find the answer to, so I email them: I get an acknowledgement: Then...............I get the definitive answer to my…

Partner received an email around an hour later saying the credit check had been passed, however they were unable to dispatch the order as the printer is out of stock…

Vent, vent, vent! Stafford aftermath.
GRR!!! Just need a massive vent! So annoyed right now! I work for the nurse bank. OH is self employed and we have a toddler, so it's perfect for me, as it means I can work around OH's work, increasing my hours when he's a bit quiet and decreasing them when he's busy, and at the same time avoiding the need for childcare.…

Teachers on Strike
How thoughtful, waiting until school restarted, instead of taking industrial action during the last 2 months when they were working from home on their course work, doing pupil assessment etc So no disruption to their out-of-school activities that take up that "holiday" time. ;)

British Gas praise
When I checked my bank account earlier this week I noticed that British Gas had taken by DD the full annual cost of our Home Care agreement instead of the usual monthly cost. I rang the free phone number to enquire what was going on and after an hour of waiting got to speak to a customer services advisor who said that it…

Vent - Vodafone won't stop marketing calls
I've asked them so many times to stop but I'm still getting these nuisance calls from people who say they represent Vodafone and can save me money. I'm only paying a tenner a month! The last guy who phoned from 01709 7653300 actually hung up on me when I asked him to remove me from their database. That was 24 hours after a…
