Opus Energy Premium Telephone Line
I was shocked today when I checked my phone bill which showed a 16 minute call to Opus Energy's main advertised telephone line charged as £28.30 + Vat. This is around £2 per minute. My call was to reduce my electricity bill by £10 (incorrectly billed by Opus) only for them to make over £28 from my call! For a well known…

Activity Superstore - 'experiences'
Do NOT even think of using this company. The only 'experience' you will have is trying to get fulfilment of their obligations. They do not honour their worthless promises and many of their listed companies, allegedly providing events etc, do not know anything about it - they have never agreed to participate. We are aware…

Charities sending unsolicited trinkets following donations

Sainsbury's Bank really don't want to talk to their customers
I suppose they are required to have a customer helpline, and publish a phone number, but it's clear that Sainsbury's Bank don't actually want to talk to their customers. I phoned them this morning.
