This in the shadow of my "Chucking Money Away" thread!
Circa 2004 I had my first "Bluetooth" head set, and only had it for a few months when it failed!
Talking to the girl on my service provider (Orange I think) about another issue. and I mentioned the headset problem,
and she gave me the contact details for a possible repairer (incidentally, the place I got it from was gone)!
I had everything that came with it, and it looked as new, so I sent the whole thing to them.
A week or so later I received a letter saying it was unfixable, so they would return it for a cost of £25.00!
Of course I pretty well knew I was being ripped off, but what's a man to do?
Paid £99.00 for it just a couple of months back.....!!!

The new mandatory overdraft interest is draconian and unfair, and is introduced as punishment for savvy/careful customers to recoup revenue lost from others not careful with their money eg un-arranged overdraft.
Another is the Letting Fee/Deposit being replaced by a Zero-Deposit Tenancy scheme (a policy costing about a week's rent) for accommodation. However, the main difference is the latter is non-refundable, and tenants are still liable for any costs arising from damage to a rented property. |
