Top Cashback ripoff on insurance payout
Yet again they have turned down my claim,
this time when I bought a Go.Compare Car Insurance policy despite me following the
rules having been turned down on a previous high value purchase. Strange how all my other cash backs are successful where the payout is in pennies
but when it is over £30 there is always a problem.…

DX Express....NOT!
Are they competing for the 'useless' title Evri/Hermes currently seem to hold? Bought a product, supplier uses DX Express, who give me an 'all day' delivery date. Options limited to "choose another date or leave with a neighbour", so I decide to remain stuck in the house all day as neighbours work. At midday I get a text…

Morrisons Click and Collect Experience
I have previously only ever had Tesco deliveries. They are/ were the only supermarket to deliver in this area. This ceased a few week ago when a landslide took the road away and Tesco can no longer get here without a huge diversion. It will be many months before the road is reinstated, and Tesco has very kindly refunded in…

In praise of Sky
My partner and I decided that we needed to upgrade our broadband. We were with NowTV on an ADSL connection getting 18Mbps download during the day and 9Mbps in the evening and at weekends. Upload speed was 1Mbps max. We were paying £36 per month and had the free Anytime calls on the phoneline, but weren't using the line…

You can double-check your roaming settings in your My3 account on your computer or on your phone: * Go to your International Settings section in My3. * Log in…

Amend the law - contract tie-ins and mid contract price increases
I have 2 points to raise, both of which should be pointed out to consumer groups such as ML and Which etc as they can raise the issue and effect change. 1. If you spend hours of your time deliberating and calculating costs between comparable products - such as insurance, tv packages, broadband etc, you should not be…

Don’t trade-in with Apple when using gift cards
Seriously… do not use Apple Trade In if you intend to use primarily use Apple Giftcards towards your purchase. I know buying new gear is never cheap, but my old iPhone 11 was starting to lag and as my area is only just getting to 4G standard - it meant my phone was struggling to keep up, as my phone was based for 3G and 4G…

Worx Landroid robot lawnmower
I bought a Worx Landroid robot lawnmower 2 or 3 years ago. It works really well, mows the lawn then goes back to its base to recharge. It does this every day at least once but usually twice. Last week it developed a fault i.e. it wouldn't recharge. One email to support detailing the issue, and two days later a replacement…

Royal Mail Proof of Delivery was Package Sticking out of my Letterbox
Royal Mail say a box type letter package clearly marked from a pharmaceutical company was delivered. They have a photo of it sticking out of my letter box as proof of delivery. I was home all day. No-one rung the bell. Presumably it could not have been pushed through as the letter box has a draught excluder and inner flap.…

In search of a reliable or repairable toaster
So I always buy the cheapest toaster I can find. The problem is that they last several months until the slider won't stay down. Probably something sticking on the contacts. I would happily fix it but they always have weird security screws on the bottom. So advice please on a more reliable or a fixable toaster. I know about…

Tesco have sneakily changed the size of the packs of crisps in their multipacks (crinkle cut) from 30g down to 25g, i thought something was off when i noticed the new packaging, so be aware of this when buying them now. I will stick with Walkers or Mcoys now and swap between the offers, whilst still a little more expensive…

What do you do with spam phone calls?
I usually say "oh, that's exactly what I need, please hold the line a couple minutes, I will finish the parallel call and get back to you" and put them on hold forever. But they do not wait for longer than half a minute. Is there any more efficient way to discourage them from doing their nasty job? Without spending too…

Sky Retentions Team
I've been on chat for 2.5 hours with Sky now trying to renegotiate my TV service in response to their hikes. First agent said they could reduce the price, but not by as much as Virgin. Their 'retention' agent then said the best they could do is increase it by 21% - on top of the 33% hike I just got! Then when I said I…
