Nationwide did good for me.
Hi everyone. I just wanted to say that I made a complaint to Nationwide a few weeks ago and today they have given me £50. It wasn't a major complaint by any means but it was valid and the compensation was unexpected. So this is just a 'praise' message from me for them. They don't always get things right but if you let them…

Shocking Service by Local Independent Dealer
A month back I went to my local dealer to enquire about an amplifier and floor standing speakers I had an itch for to see what price they would come up with! The guy in charge managed to source the amp direct from the manufacturer, a return, and got a decent price, less than the river shop, as well as the speakers. I…

Had a parcel (item ordered via Amazon) delivered by Evri today. The driver made no attempt to ring the doorbell (I was in and waiting for said parcel) but just dropped it on the doormat and departed.

Amazon seller scams
I have found that some items advertised as "free delivery"in fact incur an often excessive delivery charge which only appears upon checkout,e.g.£10 delivery for a discounted £4 item. Of course this type of scam is a well known means of sellers purporting to sell items at a significant discount but adding the real price…

It was a fake account and money started being used. Luckily Barclays were quick on spotting this. I’m being refunded and the card has been stopped.…
