It this the market without British Gas?   Why do people continue to think that they are still the company that they used to be?   I am unbiased by the way, the nearest natural gas supply to us is 2 miles away.

Kwik fit are awful, complete rip off, set my engine on fire once true story, the reason why I learnt how to do most repairs on my car myself. Halfords BQ overpriced. Any second hand car dealer, buy private !

i'm on the kwik fit bandwagon, but a wheel fell off. < comedy gold
went in with a flat, they took the keys gunned the car toward the fixing bays & hit the breaks.
i have driven enough cars to know what happens when you break hard but they assured me my front
shocks had gone. imagine their surprise when i showed them my very recent MOT receipt with the
new front shocks included.
to be fair the guy didn't miss a beat and said "ah yeah new shock abs often act like old ones
before they bed in"
there were words, it got unpleasant & i got my new tyre somewhere else but i did have a sneaking
admiration for the sheer nerve of it.

Some good calls. Less transparent but potentially far more expensive, Hargreaves Lansdown.

My Kwik-Fit Story.  Mrs decided she wanted all new tyres before going on driving holiday.  Most of them were very near so no problem - only that it was Sunday morning and few options.

Kwit Fit bloke said we've got this great deal and can give you 4 tyres fitted £450.  I said I don't think so, mate.   Cue some pressing of buttons on the cash register/computer and hey presto he can do it for £200.

He managed a situation, which would have been embarrassing for some with a nonchalance suggesting it was a regular occurrence.

Unfair to include Hargreaves Lansdown without including the whole of the financial services industry.

Disagree. HL position themselves at the most conservative end of the spectrum of financial services. This leads to their advisers acting contrary to the best interests of their clients in certain situations.

"Car Store"...

Part of "Stratstone" who advertise them, but don't sell them!

Have to fill out a contact form, but it won't send till you hit "Reserve", and have to pay £99.00!

You would have to be mental to go along with that!

Reviews are hideous, and one person paid £200 to have one moved closer, and was, at the last word, fighting to get it back!

n-power...

Check out the reviews....

I was £252 in credit, on the last quarters bill, but they increased my direct debit from £63.00 to £91.00 per month!

When I queried it they said "we don't like our customers getting into debt"!!!

Isn't that a brilliant way of forcing their customers into debt?

Anyway I am now £63.00 in credit, and they are reducing my payments to £37.00!

"National Tyres and Autocare"....

...at least not the branch I have used!

Best bit is MOTs for £27.

Worst bit, going twice with punctures in almost new tyres.

They look, and say fine...go for a sit down, and coffee, and guy comes back, and asks me to take a look...

Tyre is now off and he shows me black rubber dust, and says he can't fix it!

I must be stupid to have fallen for it twice, and bought new tyres, and even paid for disposal of the old ones,
that they will clearly sell on!

Exactly.  I give you the Financial Services Industry.

Yes, that's true too, Jack, but HL TandC's put them in a special category. Anyone looking to transfer a DB pension should avoid them: happy to explain why by DM.

I know too many people who put faith in (commission incentivised) financial advisors.  The whole industry stinks.  Opaque charges, and fees.

I know a financial advisor working for one of the 'wealth management' companies and he knew f-all about investment trusts.  I am sure you can guess the reason.

Thanks for the offer but I have no involvement in that area.

Anyone can call himself a "Financial Adviser."
And you're right, his best interest rarely coincides with that of his client.
Best thing is to take charge of your own finances. Unfortunately, in the case of a DB pension, Govt compels the client to pay for the advice of a FA. What could possibly go wrong?
