British Gas and Smart meters
In January this year I had a text from BG telling me that an engineer would be attending my house on a certain date and time to install smart meters. As I would either be in hospital or just returned home after major surgery that date was not suitable. I was unable to cancel on the app, just attempt to reschedule, and the…

How to stop Royal Mail Junk Mail
I'm honestly sick and tired of dealing with them using my home as a rubbish bin. I've opted out multiple times, I have repeatedly complained to them, I have put notices on my door, I've done everything except tape up my letterbox. I know that's how they make a lot of money, but I am not their dumping ground!!! Why do I…

Child Trust fund / OneFamily
I'm hoping from some reassurance about accessing the Child Trust Fund. My daughter is nearly 18 so we're expecting to hear from OneFamily about having it transferred to her but when I tried to log in to our account it wouldn't let me in. I called and confirmed my details, the woman I spoke to said nothing has changed and…

vvilkos - misleading email ad
My gmail account has received an email said to be from vvilkos and displaying text about wilkos clearance sale with a link to click. I have not clicked because it is either a scam to gain financial details or to benefit from misrepresenting them as being wilkos (note using the double v to look like a w if read quickly).…

Afternoon. I was hoping for some advice. My elderly parents have bought a sofa from DFS, Electric recliner. Unfortunately after a few months the electrics went faulty. Stopping the mechanical workings. Upon sale they tried to sell the sofa as seen with no warranty. However my dad being the Yorkshire man he is, “no…

I receive quite a lot of parcels ! Delivered to a 60-40 RM-Evri split. RM are good when they're working (erratic service) but Evri are better. The courier that works this region is a guy called [deleted by Forum team]. What i particularly appreciate is the updates to his schedule, if he's running ahead i get an update…

Praise for Harpic Power Plus Tablets !!
One of husband's jobs is to clean the loo. He took his eye off the ball, didn't bother and it became grungy. Tried Coke, bicarbonate of soda, lemon juice and other home remedies. Nothing doing. Spotted a piece in a tabloid about Harpic Power Plus Tablets. Snapped them up on offer in Wilko and ASDA. A couple down the loo…

As of today still no sign, no reply to email queries, no help via Resolver and bank cant trace it without an ARN number. Tried phoning but call cut off before…

Are we in danger of fraud?
I recently applied to a few companies which are working with utility companies to install energy saving measures under the ECO4 scheme. I was contacted by an agent of one installer but from the outset something didn't sit quite right. But I pushed any doubts aside and sent the info required to proceed the application, 2…

Evri - the courier from hell
Placed x2 orders online from a retailer i shop with regularly. I pay each year for the delivery pass which means I get next day delivery. Although I’m not always too bothered if the parcel becomes delayed a day or two . However , Evri have now had 2 of my parcels at their depot that should have arrived to me on Monday (…

Is it time for restaurant tips to stop being added to bills ?
With eating out becoming more and more expensive, is it not time restaurants stop automatically adding tips, ranging from 10 to 15% now. For me it can be awkward to not pay the amount, but it put me off eating out with the recent price rises. So we eat out less and restaurants suffer more. In Japan they don’t tip at all…

Ocado hike M&S prices
Just a quick note for everybody to be aware that if they’re ordering Marks And Spencer stuff from Ocado, there are at least several items (if not all?) that are more expensive online through Ocado versus in the store on the very same day. No offers on , no specials. Just basic price. I bought a pack of 4 cooked chicken…

am I just too suspicious or doubting?
Am I too suspicious? I had a phone call seemingly from M&S to tell me about a change of delivery date BUT before the M&S lady would tell me what it was about, I had to prove who I was by giving out personal information. I refused. So I wrote to M&S saying that when people phone me I should not have to prove who I am, there…

Energy credit scam with email addresses
Fairly certain this is a scam - an email supposedly from gov.uk saying I'm eligible for £400 energy credit (no reason why) and all I need to do is give them my name, phone number, address, date of birth and a d/credit card number. Just click on this lovely little button..... Ah no. But as I scrolled down I see this email…

Supermarket till receipts
Over the last few years I have spotted overcharging on my receipts. This mainly occurs on special offers whereby the full price is charged rather than the discounted price. It also happens on sell by date specials. I am not exaggerating when I say this happens at least once every 2 shops. Recently offers from Iceland were…

Easylife Rewards Club - trial membership - SCAM!
We had used EasyLife a few times, and a few months ago I was talked into doing a free trial for membership. I was so bored with the person on the other end as he was clearly just going off a script, that I just agreed. However very shortly after I realised that it wouldn’t be worth me paying the £70 a year membership and…
