How often do retailers actually fail to process refunds?
Curious about other people's experiences with this. I returned 3 items to ASOS in November - just did a proper audit of my statements and only 2 refunds came through. £47 short.

Why do Nationwide make it so difficult to open a Flex One Account for a teenager?
I know Nationwide have a reputation for needlessly pedantic processes but today really took the biscuit.
