your local Window Cleaner
We had a lad turn up last week in a “your local” van enquiring about window cleaning. Agreed to clean but received no bill, said it would be by message but only later realised we didn’t give him our phone number. Feeling it’s now a scam. Anyone aware of them? Don’t event have a business card but I do have some CCTV. Trust…

Simple Assessment 23-24
I have just received a hefty £750 bill saying I owe the Tax man my daughter has just received one for £450, I can understand her getting a bill as she was temping for several companies and her jobs were small and plentiful so it would be hard for the tax office to keep up. But what I don't understand I was an employee in a…

Austin Mockridge
I went on a holiday for 2 weeks in a property owned by Austin Mockridge alias David Robert's, called Tidal view in Looe. The property was in an awful state of repair. When it rained water was literally running down the walls! We had to move all the beds. Water was dripping from the ceiling. At one point my friend…

Car insurance Renewal - check detail
Last month I renewed my car insurance and added my daughter to it. I ticked the box ‘son/daughter’ but by mistake I put in her date of birth incorrectly….

Recurring Payments - Buyer Beware !
We all know that by setting up a Direct Debit or Standing Order we are committing to recurring payments. However, I was not aware that by giving Debit or Credit card details a company or organisation can claim recurring payments. I recently made a membership payment to Reform. I realised the payment had gone through twice.…

Some recent examples. Ordered two light weight storage box seat things from amazon, on checkout I had the option to have no external…

When having a new kitchen fitted in late 2018, the kitchen company advised that they would only provide premium branded Neff appliances.

PayPal won't cancel unauthorised 'donation'
I went to but a whisk from ebay, went through payment by PayPal, got my receipt. Then I got another receipt saying "thanks for your donation". I did not make any donation.

Royal Mail - rant....
I'm really fed up with Royal Mail. I sent two separate letters, to different parts of the country, 1st class signed for on Monday morning.
