Wanadoo/Freeserve - cant update my website and they cant help
I just have to let out some steam! A long time ago - probably 5 or 10 years since I made a website with Freeserve for my Mums holiday cottage business. I never tried to update it until the last month or so when I have not managed it at all. It was with Freeserve before they merged or were bought out by Wanadoo. I thought…

I bought a desk, filing drawers and set of shelves from Argos for my new 'home office'.

lovefilm dvd rental
I've been with lovefilm, the online DVD rental company for about 6 months now, maybe a bit more but recently have started to notice that it takes a really long time for them to get disks sent out to me. I've had 18 items in my queue and no disks sent in 4 days. None of the disks in the queue are flagged as being 'high…

A pat on the back for BP
Whilst trying to redeem a bonus Nectar points voucher for 100 Nectar points at a BP garage recently - the staff refused to accept it saying they were not a BP garage. This was despite the whole place being painted up in BP colours and logos and the fact they accepted my Nectar card for the purchase of petrol. I emailed BP…

This is only a little vent, a pet hate of mine, waiting in for tradesmen. I am sitting here twiddling my thumbs waiting for an upholsterer from Argos to come and inspect my 5 month old sofas which are faulty. I've waited nearly a month for them to find the time to call and I have an appointment 'before 12'. I did ask…

Public Domain Profit Plan - scam?
I've received an email offering a 'Public Domain Profit Plan' information package about how to make money out of public domain works (books, music etc.). They want £67 for the package, supposed 30-day money-back guarantee. Sounds too good to be true, so probably is? Does anyone have any experience of this sort of thing -…

Southern Electric con man
I'm sure most people here are pretty savvy, and I'd like to consider myself one of them. That's why when there was a knock at the door and a guy telling me (eventually) "I'd been left on the old, more expensive tarriff" I was wise to him. I answered the door to be greeted by this guy and his clipboard (so it must be…

Unwittingly signed up for a 12 month broadband contract with ISP
Trying to keep this factual but I am so livid that they can con a pensioner into these deals. Don’t know if I can mention the name of the ISP so I won’t just in case but you can probably work out who it is anyway. My dad tried the one month free trial with an ISP. After about 3 weeks, he phoned to cancel and was offered…
