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…

Email hack scam
Hi, I’m unsure which board to post this on but hoping for some advice. My parents have been victims of a scam, they have been in discussion for a while with a roofer to replace roof on their house. Communication face to face, over phone and via email. Quote given which they’ve accepted. Received an email yesterday saying…

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?

Unauthorised monthly card payments
Be aware! As a rule, I dont set up regular payments on my debit card, therefore, i dont check for them. So i was shocked to discover that for a number of years, Which? (yes, the consumer rights and advice org). Have been taking unauthorised, monthly payments from my debit card. This has resulted from a call I made to the…

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…

Ikea Support Contact line issues
This dept. seems to be dysfunctional at the moment. They texted me saying to call Support on 0203 645 0008. However when you get through, you just hear an ansaphone message saying they are 'Closed'. Which is odd, as the rest of message says they are open 7 days a week, 9-5.30. Could understand it at a Mom and Pop store,…

Flight Cancellation
A big thumbs down for Wizz Air for prevaricating for months over reimbursing a cancelled flight. Also to the regulators for doing nothing about airlines not meeting their obligations. And a thumbs up for Curve card for sorting out the issue with a minimum of fuss.

Co op funeral
A really disappointing and upsetting experience with the co op funeral. Would not recommend to anyone. No empathy no care use mobile funeral people who really do not know their local area. My dad was with them after cremation for a month yet the cemetery was open where he had a pre paid plot waiting they just ‘assumed’ it…

My experience with a plumber today
Well I've had a crap day. I finally called out a plumber to get the hot water fixed, its been off for months since corona began and I've just not had the chance to get someone round. Essentially the hot water tap started leaking and I had to seal it off with the red tap like valve. Plumber came round and said no problem it…

Whole fish OK?
I purchased 3 trout from the fresh fish counter of my local Morrisons. They were put in a "Cook in the Bag" container. I was just about to cook them as they were but decided that I'd put some extras in with them - herbs etc. only to discover, when I opened the bag, that the fish had not been gutted! Not squeamish but the…
