For the past three weeks my Nectar bonus offers have been a generic spend £30 get 3x points rather than the personalised offers on specific items. Worth far less. I contacted the online help to see what was happening to discover that Nectar help has been moved to India. I got the response of we have taken away your…

Plusnet - Bereavement - Praise
My dad signed up with Plusnet for an 18 month contract in February, but then sadly passed away in March. Initially Plusnet wrote to say I had the option of closing the account with no termination fee, or I could take over the existing contract and put it into my name. This would have meant that if I'd transferred it into…

Licence Safe - dont touch them with a barge pole!
My driving licence needed renewing so I typed it into google and went on to what looked like the DVLA site. Entered my details and paid the £14 renewal. Easy. Except it wasn't DVLA. It was licence safe (a checking company), not illegal, but they charge you £93 for the privilege of "checking" your licence before it gets…

Fedex Garbage
It took 4 days for a parcel to get from Calcutta, India to Glasgow, Scotland then took 6 days to get from Glasgow to Fife. It was sheduled to be delivered Monday before 'end of working day' (whatever that means) but it was a no-show, it then vanished from the shedule for 4 hours on Tuesday morning before being re-listed as…

Quidco - not tracking and not allowing claims
After more than 10 years of good times I feel the Quidco party is over. Yet again I've had a purchase not track and yet again the retailer (this time Quidco compare) doesn't allow claims. I use a separate browser, all cookies enabled and no ad blocking/privacy extensions to ensure nothing can break the tracking process. It…

Impossible to change bank details on DVLA
We have changed banks and are in the process of transferring over all the DD's (it's not a brand new account, so can't do this automatically). I am finding it so difficult to get through to someone who can change the bank details for the direct debit on the Car tax. I have tried the Webchat 3 times, at different times of…

How are DFS now they have their BSI Kitemark (Camden Sofas)
I bought 2 sofas last year from Sofology and have had nothing but trouble so finally, after 5 months of wrangling, they have agreed to remove the sofas and give me a full refund. I am now trying to buy new sofas and I am really leaning towards the first sofas I saw before I was swayed by a tired husband and the sofology…

PRAISE: Tesco returns
Bought a TV in store from Tesco march last year. Over the year had issues with the TV not responding to the remote, doing something different to what was pressed, randomly turning off or freezing. It was happening intermittently and I hadn't been particularly pushy about a replacement/refund because we just turned it off…

QS Supplies beware
The experience with QS Supplies has been negative from the start! Firstly we placed an order for 10 items only to be told that items had been discontinued and no alternative was available. We then had to return items purchased to fit with the discontinued items AT OUR OWN COST! We had a delay of 1 month for the final item…

Anyone else had issues with online deliveries?
We decided recently to try online deliveries for the main reason we're sick of traipsing 3-4 different supermarkets at the weekend to get what we want. We usually go to Iceland, Lidl and Tesco express, as I say we can't get everything we want in just one supermarket. So we started out with Asda, several problems here. 1…

TopCashback ripped me off twice now on larger transactions
Twice they have failed to pay around £30 on large insurance purchases despite me following their rules. The second one was pending for ages telling me I had to wait, and now I can't even raise a ticket as it's over 100 days. There is now no way of complaining that I can find. Strange how all my smaller non insurance…

A Shade Greener .. Insurance issues
A Shade Greener has to be one of the most
uncooperative, unethical companies I've ever come across and appears
to have no accountability to any governing body. My house has leased
solar panels installed by the previous owner and owned by A Shade
Greener. I'm a pensioner on a fixed income in remission from cancer
and need…

I'm a regular wine orderer with Aldi, and up until only last weekend, enjoyed if you spent more than £30 on an order, you automatically got free standard delivery. I've just noticed that Aldi has just changed this to this..... just a warning to all :) in their Delivery charges FAQs - 'Is there a delivery charge for…

Treat Wilko reviews with caution
Be cautious with star ratings on the Wilko website as they reject critical reviews. I tried to leave a review of an item that I have just received. My review was "Useful item, but ordered for home delivery and it arrived cracked. Second time I've ordered one of these and it arrived damaged 1st time as well. It's usable…

Royal Mail (Non!) Returns
I posted a large 1.3kg envelope 4 weeks ago to a Wimbledon address. I was rushing and stupidly put my son’s previous road but the correct current post code. It should have arrived on a Friday but could not be delivered. Son went up to Wimbledon Delivery Office 07.30 the next day and the desk clean immediately recognised…

The Range - don't buy anything from their website / ongoing problems
Hi everyone - I want to warn you all about the terrible, ongoing experience I'm having with The Range having received faulty goods from their website. I urge you all not to buy anything from The Range online. They are proving to be the *worst company* I've had to deal with and their lack of customer service is shameful.…
