Which? Magazine Chairman's Conflict of Interest
It has come to my attention in the financial section of the MoS (The Reader's Champion), that the chairman of Which? is also the head of an advisory group connected through a complex group of companies with a private parking company which issues penalties and demands unscrupulously, (allegedly). I have been a member of…

Scam Facebook sellers...
Has anyone had these ads crop up on their Facebook feeds in time for Christmas?! 🤯 I've seen at least 5 different 'businesses' advertising this stuff. They link to websites that sell clothing and shoes, a lot of which they also push personalisation on, such as names on trainers. Their websites show TONS of stuff on there,…

But, several days later, they charged my credit card with £101.75 - thus taking £70 extra without authorisation.I have tried phoning Customer Services, who e-mailed me…

Warning
I had been saving up my Natwest rewards for over a year to buy a toaster. I found the one I want - a Dualit lite - after much research on the most durable one available (I'm hoping it will last longer than I do). I checked suppliers in advance. I checked that the B&Q voucher is usable on online - I am disabled and in-store…

Goldcar WARNING SCAM
Having recently returned from our family holiday I’m now nearly £500 out of pocket. So it started by booking car hire via DoYouSpain which then found the best deal for a 2 weeks for a seven seater.

Damage was reported next day and after asking for proof of damage and cost of replacement it was all sorted with no fuss within a few days. Money for replacement door went into my account today. Well done…

Does anyone else feel penalised for being sensible with money?
Just a general vent really, not sure where this belongs. I always wanted to be a stay-at-home mum, but both my husband and I have always been low earners. We had two choices - just go for it and start claiming benefits, or save like crazy so we could manage by ourselves. So save we did, for several years, before starting a…

Quick heads-up: Some Amazon lockers you HAVE to have the App on your smartphone to collect!
I ordered an item for my sister to pick up at her local locker. Only when I got the email saying it had arrived was I told that a smartphone with the up to date app was required. She doesn't have a smartphone, so we appear to be stuffed. Amazon will retrieve it in 3 days and refund me, but that's an inconvenience.. But…

If you're ordering Burger King online or in app today check your receipt carefully.Somehow they've charged me £13.05 for a purchase that should have been £9.57 (confirmed by re-creating the order online).

RMA return to Amazon with DPD
Hi, I am just wondering if anyone has used DPD to send a parcel back to Amazon using a "postage required" RMA. On Saturday 1st October, I booked a "Next Day" delivery with DPD to be collected on the Monday (3rd). DPD came to collect the 3 parcels (3 of the same item) as planned and took it away.

Body Shop butter turned into candle wax
Hello, I know this is pure trivia in a world of absolute mayhem but I'm so disappointed today with the Shea Body 'butter' that the Body Shop has sent me. I did an online order - because we are still isolating as we're two poor souls who are still extremely vulnerable. Anyhoo, the Shea body butter I've loved for years has…
