Signing up and not knowing.
Bought an item on-line from Go Groopee (heavily discounted products.) Item was despatched without sufficient address, so Post Office returned it. After much chasing I was given a full refund. Nothing lost, nothing gained - or so I thought. What I didn't know was that I had, inadvertently, signed up to be a member of a…

Evri Collection Shops and Ebay
I ordered a phone from EBay, which was delivered to my chosen collection shop, promptly, by Evri, 4 days ago. I can see that using the tracking number provided by the seller. So far, so good. However the poor shopkeeper can't release the parcel to me because EBay haven't registered the parcel as ready for collection, and…

Broadband Prices
Insurance Companies have to offer existing customers the same rates as new customers. I think this should be applied to Broadband Suppliers too - Virgin Media for example are currently charging new customers less than half the fee that current customers pay, and while current customers have old, flaky routers, new…

Tesco Petrol Station Lottery Tickets
This is a post with both venting and praise. On Friday morning I filled up with petrol at a Tesco petrol station, and decided to splash out on a EuroMillions ticket on the off chance of winning £171 million.

Scam energy bill reduction claim text
Beware! I've just received a text from "The Government" urging me to apply for my energy bill reduction by following a link. I've marked as spam and blocked but feel it may not be the last one I, and others, get. Don't forget that we don't have to do anything to get it - it automatically comes to everyone. And shame on…

Paper tiger
Time after time I see people being advised of their consumer rights and told how they can apply to the small claims court. But what does that actually mean in reality? Doesn't it give false hope that all will be well. That you have the right in law for such and such? You may well have the right but that is no guarantee…

HMRC praise
Having recently retired and taken my pension early to go with a pension that was already being paid I found that the tax codes that had been automatically allocated for both pensions were not doing the best job - one was a M1W1 so wasn't recovering previously overpaid tax, and the split was such that one pension didn't…
