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…

MSE News: Had a cold call or knock at the door? They're NOT from MoneySavingExpert.com
MoneySavingExpert is NOT cold calling you or knocking on your door! We've been getting complaints from people annoyed we're doing it, but it's not us – it's likely to be a similarly named firm called 'Money Expert' that has nothing to do with us. We NEVER cold call and we're generally against the practice – you won't hear…

I'd NEVER fall for a text SCAM........
That's the last time I'll EVER be able to say that, because a few days ago I DID!!! I'm wary a lot, there's a list in my head of all the things I NEVER do. No idea what lapse in my brain process led me to fall for this scam, I've even loosely heard of it, there's no version of stupid I haven't called myself now. 3 weeks…

Domino's and Apple pay
A heads up for online pizza orders. I Just ordered a Domino's pizza online to collect price £12. On the checkout page I clicked on Apple pay and the price changed to £14.99. As far as I can see there is no warning that the price will increase by 25% if you use Apple pay. I went back and changed the payment type to debit…

Some folks where hanging around watching, and at one point something destined for the van went missing ? Anyway, couple of days later, Mum receives prosecution…

Thief in Royal Mail. Reporting process seems unhelpful and maybe even obstructive.
An empty envelope arrived (correctly addressed and hand written) and, on close inspection, it had been slit all the way down one side. The envelope was completely empty. The envelope had contained a £20 gift voucher which was missing. I tried to email Royal Mail Customer Services and received this reply: "This email…

Static Caravans... I guess this is a "warning" to a tiny minority of people... and also a rant.
Every year the BBC seems to trot out a story like this expecting readers to be shocked or surprised. BBC News - Buying a caravan left massive hole in finances So this couple have bought a static caravan, (which for those who don't know is a limited life, depreciating item that costs £4,800 per year just to keep in one…

An Amazon vent
We have a 5 year old TV; the picture is fine but the sound (speakers) have failed to the point we have to turn it on max to hear anything and it often distorts. Rather than buy a new TV we saw an Amazon Fire soundbar with money off. I ordered it on 8th July because the ad said "Prime next day delivery". Order update (10th…

Is Trustpilot a scam ?
They have been calling one of our companies for years to take a premium service with them and have been bombarding us with sales calls to the point one of our staff pretty much told them to !!!!!! off or they would be reported to offcom for unsolicited calls. This happened last week and we see today over 800 reviews have…

Do people who work for NatWest in Indian Call Centres work for other companies as well?
I phoned NatWest telephone banking to pay an invoice and selected a call back as there was an 8-minute wait. A woman with foreign accent phoned me back and asked what I wanted to do. I said pay an invoice and she said: I can order that for you. I said order what for me? She replied: you said you wanted to order a book. I…

Walked away on instinct - was I right to?
I'm in the market to buy a luxury watch, a Vacheron Constantin Overseas and the specific model I want is available on chrono24 with a POA. The advert itself has a few photos of the watch, pouch and warranty card at a couple of angles, but did not have any of the box and papers, something that can drastically affect the…

Homeprotect Contents Insurance not fit for purpose
In over 40 years of having home contents policies with cover for personal belongings away from home, I have never known it not to include loss, only damage and theft, so to discover this is hidden in the small print with Homeprotect, is nothing less than infuriating. I took out this policy via comparethemarket where I…
