Vent @ inconsiderate parking
Just need to have a vent!This has been going on for ages, and seems nothing can be done about it. Spoken to the people in question - no joy. Contacted the council - no joy. Seems like it does not qualify for Double Yellow Lines - Except for 6 years ago when they added them due to a diversion being in place, then a month…

Van Meuwen plants
Hi. I need to vent about his dreadful company and give a warning to those thinking of buying plants from them. Many many weeks ago I ordered pelargonium plugs and lavender plugs.

Will Tesco Never Learn?
Last year I was unhappy when I read this, “Tesco's claim to be 'cheaper than Aldi' has backfired after the UK's advertising watchdog found it had misled consumers. ... In its ruling, the ASA found the ads gave the overall impression consumers could save money by swapping from shopping at Aldi or Lidl to buying from the…

Currys Incommunicado?
My experience ... a) An operator asks a few questions then routes my call into a queue which is never answered, no matter how long I'm prepared to wait. (many hours) b) An answering machine does the same thing via an options menu, either way you end up a queue, probably the same queue used by the operator, it will never be…

HSBC Customer Services - vent and praise
Hi all, A few days ago I emailed HSBC about their customer services, as every single encounter (not an exaggeration) I've had with them since joining the bank in February has been a challenge. I was never, ever, given the correct information first time around, sent the wrong forms a few times, told payments would be made…

The Skinny Food Co
Issues with website - manic pop ups and banners and site crashes or freezes. I was in a hurry to order a gift and gave up.

Luxair Cooker Hoods use deception and falsify documents to dupe their customers
This is the full version of a request for help I posted in the consumer rights section.

I purchased a ceiling extractor hood for around £700 and was completely happy until…
