Switching Bank Accounts
I used a bank switching service to move from Barclays to Santander a few years back (following a recommendation on Moneysaving expert) and thought the Barclays account had been fully closed. However, it wasn't and a direct debit was left open and Barclays kept this going for approx 3 yrs before closing the account down,…

'Brushing' mail scam WARNING
I received a card from Royal Mail the other day to say that I had to pay customs charges on a package from China. Not that unusual for me, I order stuff via Ebay and Amazon quite frequently and often from China with no problems. But had no idea what the package was. Checked my accounts in case I was getting a bit doollaly,…

Charity doorstep collection
Do any of them actually do what they say they will? I had a clear out of clothes a couple of weeks ago. Since then I have put them in bags provided by 3 different collectors, and put the bags out on the days they say they will collect, but not one of them has actually bothered to turn up. So all they're doing is shoving…

Praise for Drain 24/7
I suppose this is a bit delayed, but also not really. Some might remember my post roughly a couple months ago where I mention a certain drainage company who screwed me over when they came to my diner to do my drain lining. Long story short, other than prep, nothing was touched at all and I was expected to pay a ludicrous…

£10 Off at Next - When you use Next Pay - Warning
On the next.co.uk website when you go to the checkout you'll be offered the chance to use Next Pay, a virtual credit card, and if you do you're supposed to get £10 off an order over £15.

What do you call.... (vent at my brain not working)
Probably no real home for this on MSE but I am annoyed at my brain not working so thought here better than anywhere else If you think of things with a banded scale, eg income tax, there are two ways these sorts of things can be applied (I'll use income tax as an easy example but we all know how it works in reality).... you…

ASOS refusing unworn return, no reason given
So, yesterday I received a msg from ASOS saying that my return had been received. I order two pairs of joggers, amongst other items, and returned them as they were both too big. I reordered in a smaller size. One of the pairs has been rejected for a return with no reason given. I'm confident that there was no damage caused…

RBS Debit Card used fraudulently on amazon , neither will explain how.
My RBS debit card for a RBS account I keep as a fall back account and rarely used was used over a period of 5 months for purchases and a Prime membership on Amazon.co.uk. The debit card had never been used by me for purchases on Amazon and the debit card had only been used 2 times between January 2018 and March 2020. Both…

Great job Amazon
Pre-ordered a book by my favourite author months ago ahead of its release & paid upfront as normal. Got a notification yesterday to say it had been delivered followed by an email this morning to say that they were refunding me £1.80 as the price of the product had dropped between me ordering it & it being physically…

Supermarket sin-bin
On the weekend I made a stir-fry, using ingredients from Morrisons (fresh steak, sealed packs of fresh veg); it was all really good, until one of my sons said "I've found a hair in it!". It wasn't one of ours, so Morrisons is in the sin-bin for a while. Today I opened a sealed November (2020) dated pack of Sainsbury's…

TV Licence scam emails warning

I am posting this just to reinforce the warnings that are out already, if you get one of these telling you that you need to renew your direct debit because a payment has been missed, DON'T click on ANY of the links…

LG Washing Machine, 0800 Repair
Time for a vent... Out-of-warranty repair on a 4 year old LG washing machine. Common job, pretty run of the mill, bearings wear all the time etc. Paid up front for a fixed price repair back on August 14th. It's now November 26, three and a half months later, and we're in a worse position than when we started. We've had 9…

Can you really trust Ebay feedback and TrustPilot?
Hi, I recently had an experience which makes me question how much you can really trust user reviews. I had dealings with a company on Ebay where I had terrible customer service so I left them feedback that reflected this. Just by chance I checked back a few days later and the feedback was gone, I did not receive any…

Fake websites
*Apologies for the long rant coming up* If something looks like a real bargain when searching on the internet be warned there is often a catch. Recently whilst googling for greenhouse staging, a site came up, offering some of the things I was looking for, all at a good price. No indication of location of the company but…
