Amazon code? crooks!
I bought the £40 suggested gift cards in last months tips email. The free £10 amazon code only applies to items shipped AND held by amazon (which is less than 25% of all their stock), AND it expires after a couple of months ANDDD amazon have cleverly lumped that discount into the same category as shipping discounts, so…

Is this is a scam?
Just tried to pay for lunch with work colleagues - 6 of us paying £15 each via card. I was first to pay and tried with Amex and the waiter says 'sorry sir it's coming up as Void - maybe because it is American Express' and hands me a recent which says 'void' (not 'declined'). I then try to pay with a Visa debit card.…

Someone using my address and phone number?
Earlier this year I received a few phone-calls asking for someone by name who does not live at my address, I'll call them Ms A. I let the first one or two go as a wrong number, but then I noticed they were for the same person, so I started taking notes. One of the phone-calls was from some kind of legal advice service, and…

Went to pets at home for a bit of advice on what to give puppy and they recommended a brand of puppy food that would help. ( their own brand in fact) They said give it 2 or 3 days to work, but its worked overnight. So happy and puppy is happier.…

Customer Service in Lidl
I went to Lidl this week as I wanted to take advantage of the loyalty card offer. I picked up soy milk, unusually it was in the chiller despite it stating it needed to be refrigerated only after opening. When I got home I realised it was sweetened, I only take unsweetened so returned with it today (as was needing other…

Benenden Health
Just a warning to others thinking of joining this company. I decided to check with this company if they would be able to help me before I joined them so there would be no nasty shocks. I told them I was on a waiting list for a procedure. I even told them the name of it and specifically asked could they help me get the…

The email was from Amazon and has my correct address etc. I rang my linked CC - nothing had come through to them. I checked my Amazon account online - the order was not showing on my account. So I contacted Amazon support via their…

American Golf
Its worse than a used car showroom in there these days. You barely get through the door before they're at your side with 'banter' and all the sales patter. I only wanted a look at all the club sets... thinking about Xmas... but no amount of "I'm only browsing" could shake him off. And I tried a different branch last week,…

Redspotted Hanky
I don't post very often but just wanted to warn everyone, it is MIGHTILY difficult to get a refund from this crew. They hide behind obscure terms and conditions and a need, in this technical age, to send a letter to their HQ to get your money back for unused tickets. Very unhappy and over a hundred pounds out of…

Resolver/Nails Inc.

I was getting no sensible answers from Nails Inc so involved Resolver. The case is now sorted and I got a refund (though sadly not a free product as a way of apologising for the delay which I…

vent and advice - Abel & Cole
I tried a veg box from these suppliers a good few months ago. When I didn't order again the company employees called me daily. I would also get text messages. I blocked the number from calls and texts so no problem. I downloaded a contacts app which seemed to override my settings which saw the calls and texts start again.…

Initial hard drive I saw was, I thought, a tad dear.. on way out, a 'Maplineer' (their phrase, not mine!) asked if I found what I was looking for.
