Hammonds Furniture
‘Having completed the fitting of bedroom furniture by a very competent installer, I discovered the headboard finish was not as expected. The headboard consists of 6 soft panels attached to a chipboard panel, which attaches to the wall via two brackets. Unfortunately, when viewed from the side the chipboard edge is clearly…

Onestream Assured/Priority tech scheme
Hi Moneysavers! I just wanted to share my experience with Onestream today. I renewed a few months ago and had bills of odd amounts, took a good look through them and found that they had charged me for their 'Onestream Assured' scheme (£4.95/month) despite it being a two month free trial, and then they had added it back…

Trust Pilot - can they be trusted?
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…

Rant EE
EE Customer Service was non-existent, rude and incapable of resolving my problem today. I see they have almost doubled any broadband bill and it includes range extenders. As I have problems with the internet connection at the back of my house, I phoned to request a range extender. 4 transfers of the call, repeating the…

No dogs allowed outside at Wetherspoons
So I visited Wetherspoons a few weeks back with with my other half and our dog, along with a friend of ours who joined us. We were out having some celebratory drinks, it was late-ish, around 8pm and we were wanting a bite to eat but nothing too expensive, so popped along to our local wetherspoons.

KFC pricing rip off
Recently purchased a family meal deal from KFC and wondered if anyone else had noticed the price differences. To collect the meal was £23 but for delivery it was £30 + £4 delivery and service charge. So when I asked what service I was receiving for the additional £7 I was fobbed off with some ridiculous reply which didn’t…

Aviva pension on death
[Text removed by Forum Team] I've just been into hospital for an operation where the odds of death are significant. Before going in I wanted to make sure they my dependents were taken care of, so I contact my various pension companies to make sure the details were up to date. None of them was. For some updating was easy…

Praise for credit cards.
i was out with a friend and when he went to pay his MBNA credit card had been blocked, turns out someone had got into it and was trying to use it fraudulently. I also recently had a text about unusual activity on my M&S credit card, this also was unauthorised by me. So it seems CC companies are at last taking an active…

Tesco Advert Torture
I've been watching quite a lot of ITVX recently and they have the SAME adverts at every commercial break including the Tesco Clubcard one (I've got the Power). Now I quite like the song but seeing the same advert at every commercial break (and there are quite a few in the ITVX series), is like torture. But what I find most…

WARNING and help?: Debenhams and daylight robbery /misselling protection
I was shopping at Debenhams online and upon checkout a delivery protection fee of £15.99 was added to my order. I did not realise this until I had checked out and paid, despite carefully reviewing my order before placing it. It must have been a ticked box somewhere, Debenhams describes this charge as optional, but I never…

John Lewis - "Never knowingly Undersold"
Just a heads-up for anyone relying on John Lewis’s “Never Knowingly Undersold” / Price Promise. I’ve been a John Lewis customer for over 40 years and, until now, had never tried to price-match anything because I trusted the policy. This week I tried for the first time after finding an identical product (same model, colour,…

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…

your local Window Cleaner
We had a lad turn up last week in a “your local” van enquiring about window cleaning. Agreed to clean but received no bill, said it would be by message but only later realised we didn’t give him our phone number. Feeling it’s now a scam. Anyone aware of them? Don’t event have a business card but I do have some CCTV. Trust…

Currys Price Match Promise/Guarantee: A Warning. A Complete Disappointment
I posted this originally as a response to another comment here, but I felt this experience warrants an exclusive thread as it might give adequate warning to others. So, I have decided to rewrite this and improve it with slightly more detail and information. I hope it proves useful to someone who is researching Currys and…
