Escalating magazine article?
Is there a way to escalate a complaint about a magazine article? I've already raised the complaint internally whereby they are not prepared to recognise their failings in what I feel is a misleading article.

WARNING and help?: Debenhams and daylight robbery /misselling protection
I was shopping at Debenhams online and upon checkout a delivery protection fee of £15.99 was added to my order.

Just answer a clever con
I wanted advice about the value of my silver candlesticks. As a result I Google searched and just answer responded. Like the others I assumed the £5 was a one off payment and the ‘expert’ responded so quickly I had not time to do further checks. She seemed helpful and asked for pics. I said “I don’t want to pay any more…

Cafe Nero deleting stamped cards from the app
I regularly visit Cafe Nero, and had amassed a lot of fully stamped cards on the app (around 20 at one point). As a good money saving strategy, I wait until a card is about to expire, then use it.

What's going on with Robert Dyas??
I need a new office chair for computer work....well play. One of the options that came up was from Robert Dyas. I thought that's a well known name so it should be fine - it did state only a 6 month warranty though, which I found odd. I Googled some reviews, and I was shocked by what I found. Almost every single review is a…
