    Hi

    In a 24/7 world, why does it take upto six days to transfer money from bank to bank.

    Even if both banks a the BAC's Fast Payment it can still take upto 6 days.

    Hi

    Why do some Building Soc.'s do not transfer money by BAC's when closing your a/c, and rather send you money by cheque but are willing to transfer your interest to your current a/c by BAC's.

    Hi


    Why do phone companies have so my rates for calls. It is bad enough when we have to pay for 0845 and 0870.

    Hi


    Why do water companies still charge you the full rate for Water Surface rain water that falls on your land. If I was to convert my drive from concrete pavement to say grass so less water enters the drainage system I still pay the full rate .

    So how do you expect people to help with the problem if the water companies are not willing to reduce this rate.

    Regards

    Hi

    Why do water companies only refund back any money for the current period and not for previous years when they have over charged you for those years.

    Hi

    Why do gas companies say that gas price rates are linked to oil price, but when the oil price falls the gas rate stays the same.

    Why does the Gov. apply 5% VAT on gas and elec. This should not be applied to homes with pensioners'

    Online stores should have an address and telephone number too and it should be easy to find on the site. Even highly reputable e-tailers like Amazon have order problems sometimes, and these can often be easier solved by calling (if you can find their number) than playing e-mail tag.

    Stop rip-off petrol prices, car tax and insurance. Start to understand that in order to pay our income tax we need to go to work. In order to get to work most of us need to drive!
