EE cold calling at the door (Stirling area)
Had the same woman come round twice today, was extra pushy. I was polite the first time but the second less so, she got my wife and started spinning a tall tale. Essentially stating that as copper lines are being decommissioned, they're checking speeds in the area to as neighbours have complained about the fibre speeds…

POSSIBLE FAKE MESSAGES FROM MARTIN LEWIS
I received a message on the Martin Lewis Face Book page asking me to DM Him. I am not sure this is genuine. In his message he said he could offer me investment advice which I did not ask for. My question was purely on switching energy suppliers. I am concerned about this,. (Image removed by Forum Team)

Id requirements for DVLA
I paid my road tax online after getting a 'last chance' letter. I then thought I would set up an online account to ensure I didn't forget to pay next year. Unfortunately I couldn't as I didn't have a valid form of id for them. Valid ids are: - UK Passport (or expired within 12 months) - Non-UK Passport - Biometric…

Cheap mobile phone finder
Beware, the Samsung Galaxy S24FE phone is priced at £32.99 . In fact you are only buying 2 protective screens. So this misleading advertisement should be removed.

Lyca Mobile Account creates with my email address
Looking for advice here. I am not a Lyca Mobile customer but 2 months ago someone created an account using my email address. I was then forwarded contact agreements and have access to the direct debit mandate. I reached out to them via email and phone but it's still not sorted. I have since also been emailed bills…

Asda "help"
I'm currently unable to log into my Asda account. It's wrongly saying my e-mail / password is incorrect. I phone up telling them that issue and explained I have reset my password a number of times but same result, I still can't long in. Two days later I get a e-mail on how to reset my password! I responded with that as I…

Praise - Antler luggage defect after 4 years of usage
I had purchased an Antler luggage set 4.5 years ago. After doing some extensive travel, I noticed that the zip was not functioning as intended. I contacted Antler and they said that the particular model is not something they make anymore. What they then offered me was a total set replacement. I just had to send back the…

Where are the normal people, is common sense no longer a thing from car buyers!
So, wife’s Clio car gave up the ghost and wouldn’t start. Tried the usual suspects - Battery, Starter motor, crank sensor and subsequently gave up and bought a replacement car for her as I don’t have trusted mechanic to work on it. Decide to list it on gumtree as spares and or repair for £350. Fair enough price in my…

Royal mail
For several days I have tried to book Keepsafe to cover my holidays. You complete all the questions and even bank details are ticked in all four boxes, but it will not allow you to pay. I have tried different accounts and made sure all details are correct. As a last resort you try to book by phone, but after a long spill…

The Range and Wilko
At what point does ordering from a company that fails to deliver on dispatch times almost become a scam? Pre-ordered from The Range on a bed in November and they took the money with a delivery time of 5th January, however as the time drew nearer the delivery date was almost slipping by a day every day. After a couple of…

Looking4Parking.
Not worth the £4 discount via MSE as they were not supposed to charge a booking fee and they did. Also hard to get in touch with them. Live chat worked but to cancel you have to email and they have a huge backlog.

onlinecarparts.co.uk using Evri for scam?
I foolishly ordered some expensive (£460) car parts from onlinecarparts.co.uk (actually a German company AKA AUTODOC AG) on 20 March. AUTODOC charged my card (unfortunately not a credit card) on 26 March, and soon after showed the parts as 'delivered' on their website with a tracking number I tracked down to Evri. The Evri…

Google Find my Device Useless with Chipolo tracker
After waiting nearly a year for Chipolo One point trackers which work on the Google Find My device network I have found myself in a debate with Chipolo. Google rolled out Find my device but unlike Apple all Android users have to opt in to use it which means the network unless in a heavy traffic area is next to useless.…

Possibly fraud Vinted
I listed an item on Vinted. I received a message saying send pictures of the item to her email as she was having problems to see on her Cinted app. She thanked me for the photo and told me she paid for the item. But I couldn’t see the item in my sold list so I contacted her. Also I didn’t receive any notification from…

Sports Direct item, return, and refund issues.
Hi all, This is still ongoing, and not resolved yet, but I felt the need to vent. I purchased the one and only thing I've ever bought from sportsdirect.com at the start of August. It was a boxing bag for my son's birthday present, as he's started karate and wanted to practice at home. They had a good range, so I ordered…

MSE Hoover HF410P Praise, vent and warning!
I’m happy with the MSE offer of the Hoover HF410P and the good discount so that’s the praise. Vent is that although it is advertised as a 3 year warranty it is only possible (so far) to register a one year warranty. I have filled in online forms, rang various departments and put a query on Twitter/X but still not managed a…

Double check if your debit card is declined!
Didnt quite know where to put this but I suppose it qualifies as a warning. If anyone has used a debit card the last few days and had it declined it may be wise to double check your bank statement. Last week I used my debit card in a shop and it was declined. I then tried again using my PIN but again the transaction was…

Guttering replacement cost
Just had a Everest rep called by appointment, to give a quote for replacing gutters, soffits and fascia boards for a bungalow. Astounded at a £6800 quote. Called a local roofer and quoted £2300. No need to guess who I am going to choose
