Currys Incommunicado?
My experience ... a) An operator asks a few questions then routes my call into a queue which is never answered, no matter how long I'm prepared to wait. (many hours)b) An answering machine does the same thing via an options menu, either way you end up a queue, probably the same queue used by the operator, it will never be…

Barclays Partner Finance
I bought two sofas (separately) a year or two back and it was the same price either way - whether I paid on interest-free credit or paid it all up front. So I bought them both on the interest-free credit scheme. I'm now down to owing less than £1,000 for the two together and had a bit spare money - so decided to pay it off…

Spitting
A neighbour insists on crossing the road past my property and spitting into my plants. I do have him on cctv and have been watching out for him and he spits more often than not. Should I go over to his and speak to him? What can I legally do?

Using WISH online shopping
I ordered items , thankfully not very expensive. I was given a four week delivery time, however every week when the delivery is due, the date is put back a week. There is no way to contact them. Is this a scam? Even if it is not I think it should be avoided.

247 Spares. Still ripping people off
I have made the mistake of using 247 Spares, do not use them. They get third party suppliers to send the parts. I received the wrong part and after many emails they accepted to take the part back. I had to post the part back to SAM Auto Parts Birmingham at my own expense. They then informed me they didn’t have an…

Blooming Direct -delays, dead plants and refusal to refund
Whilst the company I hid the misfortune to deal with is called Blooming Direct I’ve since discovered they trade under more than 20 names. So anything where “Peter McDermott “ touts himself as the head gardener are part of the same outfit. Posting this as I’d hate anyone else to be ripped off by them. i ordered £96 of…

Flight Cancellation
A big thumbs down for Wizz Air for prevaricating for months over reimbursing a cancelled flight. Also to the regulators for doing nothing about airlines not meeting their obligations. And a thumbs up for Curve card for sorting out the issue with a minimum of fuss.

NPower Select
I've just come across an anomaly that I feel concerning and confusing. I've just signed up to NPower Select under the impression that it is just a package sold by one of the 'Big 6' and would have to adhere to their regulations. Do they? Well when I emailed them to make sure that my FITs rebate would be protected should I…

We are NOT 'All in this together'
I didn't want to respond negatively to a thread in the 'coronavirus positivity' forum, but I'm really fed up of hearing that we're 'all in this together', as if it's the same for everyone - we weren't 'in it together' before covid-19, and we sure as hell aren't now. If anything it's widened the gap between the haves and…

I've been a member of MindMover for quite a long time and have previously cashed in points worth £50. I have been aiming for the next £50 and up until last week I had 4981 points and so only needed one more survey to reach the 5000 points required. However, I logged into my account and saw the total had dropped to 2481…
