Praise: Joseph Joseph
Almost 3 years ago I bought a Joseph Joseph Totem Bin. It wasn't cheap, even on offer it was £120 but as it was the perfect solution for my kitchen I bought it. Last month I pressed the button on the lid and it flew off, the plastic mechanism had cracked. A quick google revealed this seemed to be a common problem with the…

I ordered a couple of items from Cotton Traders early evening yesterday. This afternoon I received a text, allegedly from Hermes, saying I owe £1:45 extra postage for a parcel, click her to pay etc etc Clearly a phishing text.

Is transjbtbo.com legitimate?
This is a Goodmans radio at just over half the eBay and Amazon price:- https://www.transjbtbo.com/goodmans-iconic-60s-retro-dab-radio-p-348684.htm And when I first clicked the link, I think that I was forwarded by a site ending in .ru so it all kooks a bit suspicious to me.

Lloyds Bank local branch
I'd like to keep our local Lloyds branch, it's been there years, but it seems the staff feel differently, clearly happy to end up out of work! I pop in because I need a cheque book to distribute inheritance funds to beneficiaries. First I'm grilled on why I want one (the a/c is in my name as Lloyds were reluctant to open…

Morrisons More card changes
Just been looking at the FAQs on Morrisons website. It seems once the changes to the card scheme take place, anyone who does not have Internet access will be unable to take advantage of it. I should imagine that will mean a great deal of elderly people, like my parents, who have neither, will lose out. "What if I do not…

Amazon rant
No doubt ranted about before but Amazon are a slick outfit too slick for my liking. I ordered an item and asked for cheapest deliver. When i got to check out I saw that I had been charged premium (next day) delivery and there was no way I could change it so I cancelled the order. Tried to contact customer service on their…

Business Data Protection claims
I frequently get asked 'personal information' by businesses that may well be ones that I deal with. For example I recently received a phone call following an inspection of a gas fitting that needed minor attention. They claimed to want to set a date for the repair to be performed. I agreed, but was then asked for…

Right to a refund on credit card
I'm trying to find out if I can get a refund on a physical gift card I bought online. The retailer were super slow to dispatch a gift card to me and so I bought something else for my sister. It's only £30 but I now have a pointless Pandora gift card. I contacted them saying they were slow, please can I return it but they…

Western Union stopped my account after several years, with no explanation
I have been using Western Union to send funds to friends in Bali for several years now. Initially it was cash pick up for them and latterly it was bank transfer. It had all been running very smoothly until Feb this year when, my account was frozen by W.U with no warning nor explanation. I have been in touch via email and…

Praise: Evans Halshaw - sell your car
I was buying a brand new car and was not impressed with the best trade in price offered on our 'old' car at £10,500 by the dealer. I took it to my local Evans Halshaw sell your car branch, pretty much a posh portacabin near a supermarket. The website had offered £12,250 which is high end of all the price-estimating sites I…

O2 Extremely Poor Customer Service Quality & Incompetence
As an o2 customer of 20 years I recently decided to upgrade my phone to a IPhone 12 Pro. After being told by their customer service team that the phone was in stock for next day delivery I proceeded to carry out the upgrade. After not receiving the phone a week later I contacted their customer service line who informed me…

Tesco Shameful Scam
If you have noticed Tesco is taking the p*** out of us, the consumer. I have wrote a previous thread regarding them. This time it's to do with the fact, they are charging a whopping £3.00 for 24 Weetabix. It's disgusting and the reason is because they want you and me to purchase the "Tesco Wheat Biscuits" that are next to…
