I have been trying to renew my unlimited membership since August using the partner code provided by Tesco without success. It used to literally be a 2 minute phone call, give them the cose and all sorted. Long standing unlimited member of over 10 years. Now you can't phone them, it literally takes a week for any email…

For many members this 'offer' is a con. It available only at manned petrol stations, not at pay at pump operations. It is redeemed by presenting the receipt at the kiosk to a real person. We have a brand new Tesco here in Harrogate with pay at pump the only option, no kiosk, entirely unmanned. Staff in store can't help and…

Renewing home insurance, I am 350m from a river so under the 400m what they always ask, comparethemarket. No trees are near, am I not answering this right from the body of water! Summary:

Hi, Just to say that I have had previous bans for selling stuff that is not explained very well on Vinted's website about what you can sell or cant . I was banned then reinstated and then permanetly banned . No appeal (from Vinted) from what I am reading here I am not alone. I am moving on but need a find a decent site ,…

About a month ago I noticed a suspicious transaction (among many) on my bank statement. To my chagrin I was told by my local bank branch that I (along with hundreds of other consumers) had been caught in the Complete Savings web. I'd honestly never heard of this company and had to ring their helpline to discover the source…

Before you order, PLEASE read my review. I just want to share my experience with Dunster House and hope it’ll help people choose their cabins with as much information as possible. I was so impressed at first with the sales process, the sales rep was so helpful and answered any question I had. And it all went downhill from…

I telephoned The Job Centre General Enquiry Line. I am so very upset and all I can think of saying is: "Shame on Philip who took my call, shame on him for the way he treated me."

How I wish I had checked this Forum before buying a shed from Garden Buildings Direct (instead of only looking at the quick and places to check). It is clear from comments here over many years what sort of company they are. Their profits seem to be invested in marketing and clever legal drafting/protection but not in…

I stupidly send them my phone after reading a few good reviews about this website. They offered decent quote to buy my phone, I even avoided the higher quotes with bad reviews. Anyway short story is they ghosted me since I send my phone in, their phone line just rings out with no answer. Emailed them with no reply. I just…

There is a famous Latin quote: "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" - which translates as "Who is guarding the guards themselves?"Or to put in this particular context - who is reviewing the reviewers?Most of the posts in this forum about TrustPilot seem to raise questions about whether TrustPilot is pressured or influenced by…

Has anyone had any dealings with NAC (Domestic Appliance Repairs)? I booked a repair for my fridge freezer through their website on 27th October and the engineer was due to come today. He hasnt turned up or made contact despite leaving messages on his voicemail . There is no phone to call NAC and they only communicate…

Beware - AirBnB is removing negative reviews on behalf of hosts. So, I recently learned that some hosts are able to remove negative reviews on AirBnb. When someone writes a negative review, the host offers them compensation and if you accept, they request AirBnB to remove your negative review as there has been coercion.…

I have been comparing different prices online for a perfume (I am going to call it Perfume X). It is sold for £96 in Boots as there is currently a 20% promotion on fragrances. The website said the full retail price was £120. So I went into a store (in a large town in the South East) to check the price in person. To my…

A few times recently, I've been standing at the self checkout when somebody next to me has asked to quickly use my Clubcard, presumably so that they will get the clubcard discount on their purchase. I'm always happy to help but just wondering if there's any sort of security risk in doing this?

Because to provide a garbage service, you have to provide a service. Neither I nor anybody on the street has received any mail for at least two weeks. People are waiting on bank cards, hospital appointment letters, letters from abroad - nothing. The Royal Mail have decided they simply can't be bothered to deliver. They…

We have just used Anyvan for moving the contents of my son's flat to a new home. The booking offered a 3 hour time slot for the collection (for a fee). There is the ability to monitor the progress of the vehicle online - it showed multiple jobs before ours, and at 1130 it still showed 2 jobs to be completed. Repeatedly…

My 87 year old mother was recently signed up by Easylife to their rewards club which she did not want. She had previously bought items from them. Gets a phone call from a very persistent salesman, tells him repeatedly that the rewards club is of no interest to her but he would not take no for an answer and unfortunately…

Has anyone noticed that milk containers in supermarkets are routinely underfilled? As a specific example, I have, over the last 6-months, routinely purchased 4-pints of milk at Lidl and, despite on each occasion choosing the best available on the rack (in terms of filled volume) I have yet to find one that is filled to the…

Vent incoming… Had anyone bought a toaster recently that actually toasts both sides of the bread properly? I am on my third toaster in the last two years, previously I've bought 4 slice models, this time I thought I'd try a 2 slice, all different brands - in all of them the elements on the outside sides heat up and glow…
