OH and myself have just had to renew passports, and decided to use the HMPassport Office online service. This is a Beta service but easy to use and efficient in operation. Where it fell down for one of us, was in the photo, which has to be from a photo shop or a booth, specifically for Passport photos. They now carry a…

What can you say about a company without facing legal action?
I was hit by a vehicle of a national company (I was stationary). My car isn't worth a lot in resale terms but it's reliable and priceless to me. The damage was a broken wing mirror - the rear casing is now knackered & the glass smashed. A new unit alone is over £100. I know some corners will say just buy your own glass for…

Decided to review my savings and, following recommendations here, decided to open a Marcus and a Virgin Money account and close my Tesco Savings and Barclays Direct accounts. The rates on both are rubbish now and I've had no money in the Barclays one for years. It used to be an ING account until Barclays bought them out.…

Why are we paying so much for plastic bags
Why are we paying so much for plastic bags depending on the size that they are? Why do companies think that they can charge you so much like TK Maxx and Boots? I think we need a clearer picture of where the money is going - I have emailed TK Maxx to find out. A plastic bag is it cost to the business and we shouldn’t be…

On-line purchasing
Hi, I have not posted on here before having just joined. I just want to have a bit of a moan about buying goods online. I recently ordered a kitchen chair by click and collect from Argos. It was passed to me over the counter boxless and in a bubble-wrap sleeve. I thought it a good idea as it saves on extra packaging to…

Had a phone call this afternoon from someone (with an American accent) who said she was from my Internet Service Provider - her actual words, she didn't say the name of my ISP. It appeared to be a recorded message, telling me that my router and internet connection had been used for illegal activities all over the world.…

John Lewis isn't the caring company it claims to be!
This isn't consumer rights in the regular way on this forum, but I still think it's shocking. I used to work for John Lewis for perhaps 15 years on and off, but left quite a while ago for pastures new, and while a member of staff there was always a presentation to the world and the staff that they were a fluffy, lovely,…

My partner regularly uses the cafe at our local Tesco and on quite a few occasions now she's told me there's a guy who works there who's constantly asking for her phone number and Facebook details despite her telling him on each occasion she's not interested and has a partner.
