just received a scam text on my mobile
I received a suspicious text on my mobile from GOV. The message stated: "We have been trying to contact you regarding a tax refund. Apply now. http://tax-bax.gov.ref32.org/refund.html I went to the page out of interest and it looks official, using the HMRC formatting within the page.

Headphones stolen - there goes my faith in humanity
Stayed in hotel last night. Had to put bags down inc headphones to open room door - must have dropped headphones. Not mega expensive but nice Bose ones (£100). Must have been 15 mins - checked outside - gone. No-ones handed in at reception last night or this morning. Slight chance someone may have picked them up last night…

Vent: Spark Energy Refund
Just thought id have a little vent! £450 in credit with Spark Energy. Switched providers 3 weeks ago and the change over date was today. Contacted Spark Energy in regards to my credit, said they can issue a part refund of £200 as my final bill hasn't been generated yet. That's fair enough. "Your part credit will be…

Tesco haven't learnt their lesson!
Happened to call into Tesco Express in Bewdley this morning after doing my shopping at Lidl in Stourport-on-Severn to pick up the odd item I couldn't get at Lidl. One of these items is Hovis Thick, which Lidl have unfortunately stopped selling. Their replacement tastes like crumpled newspaper. On entering Tesco, I went to…

Irresponsible tv advert for Danish Bacon (carbon monoxide)
I don't know if I'm putting this in the right place but here goes. There's a new advert on tv showing a couple in the pouring rain in a car which is hanging over a cliff. It's for Danish bacon. It's not the perilous nature of the car teetering over the edge that's the problem here though. They are sitting in a car, windows…

BPO Collections strikes again!
I noticed several posts about this debt collection firm a few years ago. My husband has now been targeted! We apparently owe money to Sky (we have not had a Sky account for about 10 years). So I phoned Sky and was told that the account in question was for a person living in Hull ( my husband and I live in South Wales and…

Waitrose staff are rude and horrible.
I live in Torquay, and my local supermarket used to be a Somerfield, but when they closed down, unfortunately the supermarket became a Waitrose. I've had all sorts of rudeness from the staff at this Waitrose, I've even seen them reduce an old woman to tears. This is the latest happening though, and the first time a…

Aldi bread hike..
The basic wholemeal loaf has a new wrapper, and is still 800g, but the slices are bigger, and much thicker ('doorsteps'), so there's only 18 rather than the typical 22-24. A sneaky way of an effective price hike..(not for the first time) I'll be going back to Lidl, next time..

Cover for you - Avoid
I have had the worst experience with them. I took out cover with them as they were the top rated for what I needed. I couldn't make my trip so had to cancel. I got all the relevant information that the claim handling company needed and they handled it really well, paying out quickly. My main problem is Cover for you who…

Financial Ombudsmans Service
What are peoples experiences of the FOS, for non-PPI issues? Do they fight the consumers corner, or are they submissive in their approach to big financial companies when it comes to taking them to task ?

Sending perfume airmail
Hi guys, Do you, or do you know, anyone who can answer the following question for me? If it is not permissible to send perfume out of the UK via airmail then why is it permissible for people to take a personal allowance of perfume on an aeroplane? If it poses such a danger to life then surely no perfume whatsoever should…

Warning about Furniture 24/7 - Furniture247.co.uk
I wanted to post a warning here about the company Furniture 24/7 to try and stop others going through a nightmare like we did after ordering from them. We ordered a waterproof incontinence mattress for a disabled relative, (similar to the ones you find in the NHS), we ordered it on their website for £199.99. Their website…

Little Mistress Disgraceful
Can`t find a better home for this thread....and feel like I need a rant. Can`t even find a place to leave a review for this shambles of a company either, so good old MSE it is. Hopefully this prevents any other potential buyers some stress. My wife bought £400 worth of dresses at the end of March for a wedding with the…

Berkeley Ergonomic mattresses contain Polypropylene
I just want to let everyone know that the Berkeley Ergo beds contain a LOT of Polypropylene (and chemicals in the latex) because the dealers don't acknowledge this synthetic component even though they list, describe and praise all the other components.. At the same time they call the mattresses "organic mattresses", "all…

Dominos
I tried to buy pizzas on line on thursday. The Dominos site crashed just after the Bank Secure entry. We received no order email and rang the local branch to confirm no order had gone through. At that point we made the same order by telephone. I was checking my bank transactions for another item yesterday and noticed that…
