Unable to get a refund
I booked a property in Kingston Upon Thames for 1 night but upon arrival it was apparent that this was a scam. I paid £212.68 for the booking but was unable to contact the accommodation owner. I have e-mailed booking.com on 11 occasions plus contacted them via telephone 3 times but they just keep fobbing me off. They…

Splitting bills in restaurants / drinking rounds
My father and his girlfriend have an odd attitude to money, claiming to be skint while going on 5 holidays a year and buying a £400k house in cash. They are the tightest people I know. That's up to them, but they don't show the same respect for money in their dealings with others. This has come to be particularly annoying…

Money Moral Dilemma: Should we change the way we split holiday costs now my partner has passed away?
This week's MoneySaver who wants advice asks... My partner passed away last year. Before then, we regularly went away with friends and would split the cost of the holiday between us - for example, if a holiday home rental cost £500, we would split it £250 per couple. My friends and I are now looking at going away this…

ID Checks
I have a holiday booked with Parkdean which I do every year. No problems until this year. Apparently now they want to carry out ID checks. Not sure why a UK holiday requires this. Some people who book UK holidays don't think they don't need a passport that's probably why they holiday in the UK in the first place. Parkdean…

Money Moral Dilemma, should I pay for house/pet sitting?
We have a young family member and his girlfriend (not immediate family) coming to take care of the house, garden and pets while we are on holiday for 2 weeks later this month. They don't have their own home, they still live with parents. My son thinks we should pay them, I'm not sure. I planned for them to live rent free…

Warner Leisure Hotels
I'm hoping someone on this forum can help me. I am a regular visitor to Warner Leisure Hotels and have always enjoyed them, until now. There has always been a problem with their customer service centre (they never seem to know what they're doing). However after a recent visit which was dreadful, I have been trying to make…

Travelling on London Tube
I'm taking my daughter who is 11, to London for 2 days Friday and Saturday. I've only ever used the underground when she was free to travel, and we could use the larger turnstile together. I'm finding the TFL website a bit confusing. We're staying zone 1, but will need to travel into zone 3 on the Friday. Is it worth…

Forest Holidays
If you're staying with this company do take pictures as you leave your lodge otherwise you may get a hateful letter falsely claiming you left it in a terrible mess and demanding money for deep cleaning - otherwise they'd turn it over to a debt collection agency. If you haven't booked with them yet - I'd advise you to think…

Bumped by P&O cruises
I booked a baltic cruise on 17th April with P&O cruises and on 1st of May I got a phone call from my travel agent to say that P&O had cancelled my cruise because of overbooking. They offered me an inside cabin which I refused as I had booked a sea view cabin and we must have a view. I have over 400 nights cruising with P&O…

Last minute hotels
If I were to rock up at a hotel in the evening and they have a room spare - it is possible that they would accept almost any amount of money to fill that room over nite - because some is better than none - right ??? Anybody found a way of doing this? Not convinced that lastminute.com etc would realistically exploit this…

On arrival it turned out that…
