Sagem Freeview Box
I bought a Sagem STB last year. Last month, following an auto retune several Freeview channels were lost (due to new Top Up TV channels replacing them). Sagem said the box needed an over-the-air software upgrade to fix the problem but that they would not be able to transmit the upgrade for a while. So instead they sent me…

GLOBALTESTMARKET.COM
Did anyone have an email from the above promising 300 extra points to redo a survey as their system had failed to record my answers. I completed the survey and as usual deleted the email. They are now denying all knowledge and say they can't trace sending me an email. Thanks

Q.E.D.
I had a tough time ordering from these guys back in January. It took maybe 6 weeks to get the goods, despite money being taken before I was advised of the stock shortage. Emails took up a fortnight to be answered. Vowed I would never have dealings with them again.... Now, the VCR has broken. This is the response I have…

Scottish Power Website
Does ANY of it work? Tried changing my postcode and it tells me I am already registered. Tried getting my bill, just kept going back to original screen. Tried entering my readings, wouldn't accept them. All this over a period of 4-5 weeks, so it's just a bad website.

Halifax
My boyfriend has been duped by the Halifax (without me knowing, otherwise he'd have never have been stung). He has - sorry had - a small amount of money in a savings account with them. Due to the amount of money he had it was suggested that he opened a "Saver Reward" account as it had a "very competitive" rate of interest.…

Safeway Petrol Watered Down?
Could be a consipiracy theory this... A friend of mine mentioned in conversation that he doesn't get his petrol from Safeway, as he always seems to have to fill up a couple of days sooner. I thought 'surely not' and didn't think any more of it, until I had to get petrol last week from another garage for the first time in…

"Prices FROM" How useful/less is that?
It gets on my nerves when wonderful offers are splashed all over the press, with prices "from £**" - doesn't tell you anything really, does it? e.g. Kitchen accessories "from £1" yes okay, if you only want to buy one saucer or a wooden spoon. Gets you in the shop though. It's the same with bigger things like conservatories…

HSBC Rip Off

Imaging my disgust when I checked my bank account on the net the following evening and found that my balance had gone down by exactly £100. So much for free…

Chewing gum/bubble gum
Having just spent an hour trying to dig out this disgusting stuff from the sole of one of my shoes, I have to say that cleaning off dog mess is preferable! Why can't people who must chew this muck at least dispose of it responsibly? Whilst I try to look where I'm walking, I don't expect to tread on spent chewing gum in a…

Notice of Caution
This is not a warning of a scam, but an enquiry about whether such a scam is possible. A friend recently broke up with a partner they had been living with for over a year. They lived together in the friends house that they'd brought during a previous partnership. When that broke up, they bought the other person out and are…

Nobody is checking up on abusers ?
This one has really annoyed me. We know a lady (in her 80's) living in an OAP home where one of the nurses badly abused her (crimes allegedly include theft, physical and mental abuse and stripping her and taking photographs). The nursing home immediately fired the person and there is an ongoing police investigation (hence…

Argos, Broxbourne, Herts.
I bought a vacuum cleaner about 6 months ago, it was one of these allergy ones and cost £100. I was disapointed with it from the start, as it was still in guarantee I took it back. Technically it needed to go off for repair, but I wanted to put the extra to it and get a Dyson, so the girl at customer services looked into…

Beware L.C.I Travel - Free Holiday
Had a phone call out of the blue about a Holiday I had Won! All I had to do was pay an administration fee of £34 and collect the tickets. Yeah Right. I asked if it was "Timeshare", no the reply came. I declined to make an appointment and waited for the written confirmation to arrive. These people sell "Holiday Ownership"…
