    I remember reading a while ago about people who wrote to companies either complimenting them or complaining about a product or service.
    I have sent one or two in the past but heard nothing back so got dis heartened, until I bought my mum a tin of Macaroni cheese from certain Hz brand. She sent a message from their website (we were on a holiday at the time so probably on the Wednesday), and when we got home on the Friday afternoon she had a letter - from a template, but hey - and a £3 Hz voucher. :):):):)
    So, I did a search on the forum and looked on many pages - so forgive me if I missed something and there is an active thread - but the recent sort of thing I found was 2014

    So, I thought... Of course if we don't receive the service we expect, item we expect etc we should complain and have a place to let others know we got results, to give them hope that something will be done if they stand and have a voice.

    So who is next...?

    Hope I've posted in the right place...?

    What did you do/get?


    I have just complained to M@t@l@n for their availability of women's suits...

    My mobile phone provider O2 have been having signalling issues, which has rendered my mobile useless for several days at a time. I rang them up to complain and they gave me £23 credit, my monthly mobile phone usage cost.

    I wrote to Hovis with a genuine 'defect' complaint in a loaf of bread, which rendered over half of it inedible. I sent pictures.

    I received an apology letter, as well as an explanation as to how they think it happened, along with £4 of Hovis vouchers.
