Terrible quality boots purchased and the studs fall out after very short amount of usage. (Less than an hour) I asked for a refund in store and this was refused as they said they weren't faulty.

Praise for once
With the onslaught of complaints about companies, thought I'd buck the trend. Went to Halfords (Not the cheapest retailer by far) to buy some fuel additive. Needed it quick so couldn't wait for on line purchase. Went in store, found what I needed, £13+. Checked Amazon on line price on my smart phone, £11.08. Asked the…

Energy company mistake
I changed from one energy company to another because the new one could supply for £119 per month instead of £134. At a six month review they further reduced the payment to £79. However, the balance was actually -£223 and they had read it as a positive figure. Now a further six months along and I am £450 in arrears. In…

Abusive Salesman
I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this but I'll try anyway and no doubt someone will point me in the right direction. Very briefly, over the last three weeks I have been looking to buy a new car and trade mine in. After being giving the run-around with several dealers (I appreciate it's their job) I tried…

Advice on reporting a rogue trader using fake registrations at Companies House
Hi I have had the misfortune to use a professional and legitimate looking company, and after paying them, and when the rains came, discovered faults in their standard of work with leaks to my roof and failure to return an item they removed to reconfigure.

Game - poor experience today :(
Took my little lad to Game today in Boston, Lincs - he is 9. He has been saving his 'odd job' money for a few weeks now and had 2 x £1 coins and a further £6 in silver and bronze. 3 people serving, however, 2 were pricing up a console a lad wanted to sell to the store. We waited maybe 20mins before been served. My lad very…

Terrible service
I only take a credit card when lured by a freebie (I have got some nice ones over my years on MSE :D ). Making a purchase in Debenhams last week I was duly lured by the promise of free tea and coffee in the cafe as drinks in the shopping centre are a silly price. My card arrived today and when I tried to register it I…
