Amazon - Mystery £8.99 charge
I am a member of Amazon Prime - my husband isn't. Yesterday a mystery £8.99 charge for Amazon Prime appeared on his bank account. Our immediate suspicion was that he had been unwittingly signed up for this while buying his railcard last night as the railcard site has a number of pop up voucher offers. Today we called…

Quidco is uncontactable
I did an insurance comparison with Quidco, but it didn't track, so I tried to contact them to look into it. You can't submit a claim for Quidco comparisons via their missing cashback form. Their contact email addresses are not working. I tried privacy@quidco.com, dar@quidco.com, and quidcosupport@quidco.com. All responded…

Just eat only giving credit notes
I’ve been using just eat recently due to having covid.I placed an order for 9 items from Asda, but only received 6 of them. I reported this to just eat who have given me a credit note instead of a refund, which I don’t want as I no longer have covid so don’t need to use them any more. The amount is not enough to cover the…

DFS - warning
Fault reported within 24hrs of delivery. 5 months later I am still waiting for them to collect it and refund the cost. They are trying to bully me, a pensioner, into accepting a repaired chair. I am days away from the Small Claims Court.

Beware of 7dayshop reviews
I've been a long-standing customer of 7DayShop. I've recently had a bad experience of reviews not being published. 2 incidents:1. I bought a multi-tool penknife but the quality was poor (the scissors were so blunt as be useless for cutting anything) So, I wrote a review describing it as a cheap toy.2. A Kingavon torch with…

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…

SouthWest Water lack of customer service
I do wish this was one of those things where you could deal with someone else but because it's water we're stuck. OK so I was checking my bank account the other day, noticed I hadn't paid anything to SWW for a while and started checking my bills. Last bill I had was in March at which point my account was in credit for a…

John Lewis - Praise
I've seen John Lewis getting a few knocks recently for their customer service not being what it once was ( probably true sadly), but I've just had to deal with them and they were very efficient. 50" Samsung TV bought from them in Oct 2022 ( 5 year guarantee) One evening a couple of weeks ago - just went off, no picture and…

Learner car insurance discrimination based on sex?
Am I missing something? My current car insurance provider with whom I have been with for 3 years has refused to provide cover for my 17 year old learner driver son. What I am finding hard to accept is the same insurance company accepted my daughter last year as a 17 year old learner driver with the exact same car (she has…

Ikea delivery so bad it looks like they are deliberately trying to drive me mad
Has anyone had any experience with Ikea delivery because it’s so bad it looks like they are deliberately messing it all up. I have been waiting for about two weeks for a large order of bookcases. That isn’t long but it genuinely looks like I could be waiting for years, at least. Perhaps indefinitely. It’s one large order…

TopCashback
Hi, I've been having ongoing queries with TCB and they seem to be avoiding giving a direct response. So, up to about a month ago, a transaction would appear as pending within up to 2 days on my account (most of them anyway). Some would appear almost instantly. Then, several weeks/months later it would change to confirmed.…

I am not a person
I tried to renew my passport online. I don’t actually want to go anywhere, but nowadays you need a passport, or a photo driving licence, to perform high risk tasks such as spending over five figures of your own money. I have an undamaged passport that was issued 28 years ago, and reading the official HM Passport Office…

Hot UK Deals
I recently used one of those offers on hot uk deals where you receive a gift card for spending a certain amount with a company. It was a £50 B&Q gift card if you spent £160. I followed the instructions but never received an email confirmation, contacted the ‘company’ (who, it turns out, are owned by hukd) and was asked for…

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…

Paying to View Credit History
Why do we have to pay to view our credit files. These companies gather information about us, make assessment of how financially worthy we and then on top of that we have to pay for the information to be given to us. Some things just don’t make sense!

Amazon.....How do I contact them?
Does anyone know how to contact Amazon at management level? The other evening I witnessed some absolutely appalling behaviour by an Amazon driver. I wrote a detailed description of my complaint. I then searched the website and couldn't find a contact email so went on to online chat. They gave me an email but they dont seem…
