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…

"Complete Savings" scheme
I just purchased something from TheHut.com and was then asked whether I wanted to join the "Complete Savings" scheme. I've never heard of them before. It also says in the fine print that Complete Savings is owned and operated by the Webloyalty group of companies. I was briefly tempted to do the sign up and cancel before…

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. Seems that despite order crashing and no order acknowledgement being received (checked junk mail) they signed me up for weekly deliveries and presented request for funding to my bank. As soon as I…

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'm so appalled by the behaviour of this company and their refusal to take responsibility towards their customers that I've decided to share the story. I purchased a ceiling extractor hood for around £700 and was completely happy until…

Spitting
A neighbour insists on crossing the road past my property and spitting into my plants. I do have him on cctv and have been watching out for him and he spits more often than not. Should I go over to his and speak to him? What can I legally do?

Barclays Partner Finance
I bought two sofas (separately) a year or two back and it was the same price either way - whether I paid on interest-free credit or paid it all up front. So I bought them both on the interest-free credit scheme. I'm now down to owing less than £1,000 for the two together and had a bit spare money - so decided to pay it off…

247 Spares. Still ripping people off
I have made the mistake of using 247 Spares, do not use them. They get third party suppliers to send the parts. I received the wrong part and after many emails they accepted to take the part back. I had to post the part back to SAM Auto Parts Birmingham at my own expense. They then informed me they didn’t have an…

Phone number for Revolut anyone?
Hello all, Got a friend who needs to speak to someone at Revolut and they cannot find a phone number. The only one which starts 023 puts you through to an automated system and doesn't allow you to speak to a human bean. Anyone had any luck getting through to the human side of this bank? Thanks.

We are NOT 'All in this together'
I didn't want to respond negatively to a thread in the 'coronavirus positivity' forum, but I'm really fed up of hearing that we're 'all in this together', as if it's the same for everyone - we weren't 'in it together' before covid-19, and we sure as hell aren't now. If anything it's widened the gap between the haves and…

Blooming Direct -delays, dead plants and refusal to refund
Whilst the company I hid the misfortune to deal with is called Blooming Direct I’ve since discovered they trade under more than 20 names. So anything where “Peter McDermott “ touts himself as the head gardener are part of the same outfit. Posting this as I’d hate anyone else to be ripped off by them. i ordered £96 of…
