Leaky Tassimo
We have a Tassimo machine which are rather like but recently the edge has gone off it. It has always worked fine but some point last year we had some hot chocolate pods that spilled hot chocolate everywhere. That was annoying, but once we identified it was only the hot chocolate and then that batch of pods was used up,…

Newcastle City Hall charges
This morning I wanted to buy a ticket for a show at City Hall in May this year. On selecting the seat the price is shown as £52.70. At checkout the price has increased and is now £55.45. The calculations show a difference in the actual ticket price and then three additional charges. I didn't buy the ticket. What the £6.10…

I want to save the NHS some money
Following a diagnosis and an initial scan my GP has referred me to two adjacent trusts which have good reputations for Endocrinology and Neurology. Treatment is good with both as is the prognosis. There is quite an overlap but they won't talk to each other. I appreciate that both consultants are specialists. I have Brain…

However I am venting because I use MSN and I…

Topcashback
should rename to notcashback, yes i know they say its not guaranteed. Non payment is becoming an issue that they need to address. I used TCB for years and always got paid, then a few years ago two didn't payout so i gave up using them. (the reason given was retailer said some other channel claimed it). The carrot of £160…

Topcashback
Bought my car insurance through Topcashback and was due £40. I never received the money due so claimed from them within a few days of due date. I was informed that they would have to wait 6 months to challenge the lack of payment with the retailer. After 6 months I contacted them and they now inform me that it can be 12-16…

In my day... motivation to work
I've been finding more and more lately that 'good service' and acting in the interest of the customer seems to be a lost art and I've also spent some time with my sister who has terrible spending habits, no money and is constantly digging herself into more and more debt and just hiding under the covers and hoping it'll go…

Aldi Hedge Trimmer
2yrs ago I bought an Aldi Cordless hedge trimmer for if I remember correctly £35. It came with a 3yr warranty. It broke down at the back end of last year, I wasn't going to bother to claim for it, however I did this year, prior to the warranty expiring. I contacted the company that deals with Aldi warranties in Germany,…

National Lottery
After playing the National Lottery since its inception, my wife finally won a 4 figure prize last Saturday 24th February! Previously you could go to the Post Office to validate the ticket and receive your payout. You now have to put a claim in online, you are given a claim reference, then you have to wait. Now going into…

Admiral - trying to cancel auto renew on line.
Proper rant here - but they make you go through every confusing hoop possible before finally allowing you to click on the "cancel - and I really mean it!" button. At least I got the auto survey at the end, so was able to vent my spleen somewhat.

Motorola - Dreadful Customer Service
Purchased a phone (G73) directly from them less than a year ago which suddenly died and would not switch on, started the process of arranging a return for a repair under warranty and it's been an utter shambles from the start. Terrible communication, significant delays with getting return info, calls to chargeable phone…

Amazon Prime unwanted accidental membership
I just wanted to highlight that although I am moderately savvy with on-line goods ordering I fell foul of accidental acceptance of Amazon Prime membership while ordering some optics. Although free UK delivery was already incorporated in this sale I had not realised that Prime membership was already selected by default. An…

Shopping Surveys: Membership Scam
Anybody received emails promising some incredible guaranteed prize for completing a survey about shopping? I have received 2 recently: ostensibly from Screwfix and Sainsbury's. In both cases the 'prize' was substantial; I only had to pay £2 for shipment.When you get to the page where you enter your details having done the…
