Praise - Swift Cover home insurance
I moved house 4 months ago and thought it prudent to get decent home insurance including home assistance (as you never know what may be lurking under the floorboards when you move house). Insurance was still only £200 all in for home contents, bike, assistance on a 4 bed house. At 7.30pm we had a partial powercut, I did…

Is LeisureGuard breaching GDPR rules?
LeisureGuard emailed me to say my travel insurance would renew automatically and I wanted to make sure the payment method they had for me was not, say, an out-of-date credit card. This proved to be impossible online nor was it possible to establish that I had in fact authorised automatic renewals. So I emailed them with no…

Evri
I, after waiting almost a year, was able to order a Steam Deck from Valve. I spent almost £600 on this, and was, therefore, horrified when I discovered that due to the Parcelforce strikes, my delivery was going to be handled by Evri. I received notification of it arriving at my local Evri depot on the morning of the 1st…

RightMove website.
Why are park homes such a major feature on RightMove. Why
can’t they give you a option to filter out such homes when perusing newbuilds.

Money Moral Dilemma: Should I return the 100+ stamps that Royal Mail sent to me by mistake?
This week's MoneySaver who wants advice asks... I sent 45 non-barcoded stamps to Royal Mail under its swap scheme, and it sent me back four envelopes, each containing 45 barcoded stamps - 180 in total. I called Royal Mail, explained the error, and was sent an envelope to return the 135 extra stamps. I posted them back,…

'Amazing' prices ? Martsew.com.
Another ad for an air fryer popped up on a Facebook page at an amazing price of £32.61, (normally £200 or so}, and I wonder if anyone has had experience of Martsew.com? Scrolling down the ad, there is a contact phone no and the URL is 'https' which I believe is secure, I put the URL in the search bar rather than follow the…

Heaterprox - AVOID !
https://heaterprox.com Is confusing me It appears to be a cheap Chinese manufacture - doesn't state where it is made There are custom fees to pay and It doesn’t even state the
power rating (which I have discovered is 350 watts - so its heat output is negligible)
and a single years warranty costs an extra £5 it also states…

We visited our local KFC recently, and started our order, then the girl at the til said what drinks would you like so I asked for a regular coke which is what I always have, yet the girl said…

This one is a praise from me.
A gran and two very young children were
going around picking up litter near where I live. I was a bit shy to congratulate
them. Do you see this in your part of the world?

Bank account hack without breaking into (stolen) mobile phone
Just discovered from a BBC broadcast that online banking typically allows your cashpoint card PIN to be viewed. If your phone and card are stolen together, fraudsters can easily set up online banking on THEIR phone. A one time access code is then sent to YOUR phone, but unless you have blocked notifications to your locked…

Commercials and advertising.
Why do they synchronise commercials to come on the same time
on tv channels? So, I go on YouTube for my entertainment via my tv ( can’t
install adblockers) Now they get me here, I’m bombarded with commercials. Then I have
to go through my post to sift out the junk mail. To any advertising executive please
read this - Now…

Evri Customer Services Non existent
I had 2 parcels sent to me by a family member, the parcels contain things of sentimental value that can't be replace. I didn't know they were going to send them by EVRI if I had known I would have stopped them. I did not find out until they had already sent both parcels. They sent them Tuesday and paid for next day…

TV repeats
There should be a law against it. BBC show 56% of their air time on repeats. I don't know the percentage of the other channels but it must be high. I know we've been through difficult times but they must be still getting revenue from either license fees or advertising. Why don't OFCOM place a percentage maximum limit on…

Airbnb - remember to review honestly!
We left booking a summer holiday rather late, so most costal properties were booked up. We found one that was new to airbnb that had no reviews, but the owner had another property that had nice reviews, so we thought we would take a punt on it. It was at a premium price. The property was "fine", but VERY basic. If we had…

Things I wish someone had told me!
With costs spiralling out of control, I can see my Mum in the same mindset that I was when I purchased "the chair" She's got a lot on her mind worried about how she will be able to afford to live soon, and she's in a spiral of thinking if she spends money on stuff that she will save money with no proper thought of…

Amazon gift vouchers
I wonder if anyone else has been the subject of "highjacked" gift vouchers? Purchased 2 £50 vouchers for my grandson's Christmas present. They were delivered to my son's address and handed over intact. They remained in his secure possession until the boys wanted to spend them a month ago. On entering the numbers, he was…

Gumtree - Is it still available !!!!
Over the last few months I have sold a couple of dozen items on Gumtree. I take the trouble to photograph the item well, write an accurate description and price it attractively. Almost everything has sold, some quicker than others. Why oh why is it that anything that doesn't sell almost immediately attracts "enquiries"…
