Dartcharge vent - be warned!
The IT system was designed by the clueless! I made a return crossing earlier this month, and received a penalty notice for one of the crossings today - issued 14 days after the "offence". Now to the "offence": I'd changed my vehicle and updated the details on my account accordingly after my journey, after checking there…

The 'discounted' tickets that end up costing you MORE.
Beware of a problem affecting the booking of tickets for some theme parks, sporting events, cinemas, theatres and for coach and rail travel. A number of companies offer the chance to join a scheme, advertised as a 'gold pass', 'VIP pass', 'annual pass' or other such name that offers a discount on the usual cost of tickets.…

onlinepoundstore.co.uk
This may be slightly premature so I won't make any accusations, just the sequence of events that lead me to suspect I won't be getting my parcel. * Ordered goods from onlinepoundstore.co.uk on 9 April. Paid through Paypal. No acknowledgement of the order. * Checked website, no sign of order and important parts of the…

Lidl Warranty - praise
I often shop at Liddl and see the 3 year warranty on most all their appliances and tools - always wondered what it was worth. My 2 year old Silvercrest combi microwave (£70) had its turntable fail - luckily I did have the receipt - so could quote them the number from it - so its always a good idea to take a snap of your…

Groupon taking money out account
Just checked my bank account and there was a lot of money 'missing'. I rang my bank to ask what transactions were pending. 3 payments to Groupon. 2 for £119 and 1 for £47. I told them this is NOTHING to do with me. After checking, my bank said that they had been set up as 'recurring' payments so they can't class it as…

MSE55 code for BBC Store
Watch out using this code. First of all, it is one use only, on one item only. I thought you input the code once, and it should apply to multiple items, not so. Also, paying with PayPal is somewhat perilous. After the first transaction is approved, the next item does not require any authorisation at all. I just clicked on…

Back Pocket Syndrome
This is for men who have back pain and maybe sciatica. Doctors can now tell that the cause may be the wallet in your back pocket causing pressure on the back. You could be losing money by being off work, so think before you place your wallet and put it in a front or jacket pocket .:hello:

Please read terms of Gourmet Society Auto-Renewal
Firstly, I would like to say that I have used Moneysavingexpert for many years & it has helped me greatly - so a really big thank-you! This is my first ever post. I felt very strongly that I wanted to warn Moneysavers to please be very careful regarding cancellation of membership of a Gourmet Society card. I joined this…

DX Delivery
The delivery business is very big business at the moment with so many online purchases and tracking technology is often installed on vehicles. This company offers a not so great delivery slot -- between 7.00 a.m. and 6.00 p.m. If DPD can let narrow their delivery down to a one hour slot, surely the ironically named DX…

Asda refusing to refund
I use Asda for online grocery home delivery. They often substitute items that are out of stock, but they can be handed back to the driver if they aren't suitable. Usually, an email then arrives that evening confirming the refund for these items. On a recent delivery, I handed back a few things and the driver 'beeped' them…

idMobile eats all my minutes/money
I had 500 minutes 15 days before and used some of them now it shows 0 minutes balance and they already used shock proof that took £5 which is really a another shock. What is going on here, are they big scammers. For the last three months since I joined always they take more than they suppose to take even not sure where is…

Expired credit voucher/ gift cards
Sorry if I've put this in the wrong area. I wanted to vent my frustrations with Marks and Spencer in their way of giving you a credit voucher. I realize it's a token of gesture but most department stores are very considerate of there customers. I sometimes shop there and when returning I may be a bit late to return , only…

Placed a few small orders and a hour later got a "address verification" email from them (legit as couldnt log in) Sent them the required information to 4 times in same day get the same email back requesting…

Life's irritations
I'm not a great sports fan but one thing I do enjoy is watching the snooker. This is slightly spoiled by certain types in the audience. Why is it that this sport seems to attract the most coughers I've ever heard? I don't think I have watched an entire frame without one or more coughers hawking away. Can't they hand out…

"New improved recipe" vent.
Why do they keep changing recipes of perfectly tasty food, just to make them worse? Every time I see those 3 words on something I used to like, I know that means less tasty, less sauce, or quite uneatable. I have no doubt the exercise is to find how to save on ingredients to make more money, but could they stop adding…

Vent :Co-op bank
Having been a longstanding customer of the Co-op bank, I enrolled for online banking to get the £4 reward and did so at the local branch, so I could ask questions. I queried if there were enough direct debits to qualify (4 required) and was told there were 5 (3 monthly, 1 over 8 months and 1 annually), but that all 5 would…

Avoid Hammonds Furniture! Overpriced and useless customer service
For anyone thinking of using Hammonds Furniture... don't! You think you are paying a premium for better quality and superior custome service. Whereas in reality their quality is poor and their standard only as good their outsourced contractors. But it's when problems arise you realise when a bunch of fob offs they really…
