I have had a Britannia Mortgage since 2002. Today I got a very jolly letter that flippantly mentions them adding a 'Title Management Fee' of £50. Seems that this is to cover admin costs of holding my deeds during the mortgage. Can they just add this summarily? Surely those costs have not changed significantly & should have been foreseen by them when the mortgage was sold? I must wonder what they may add next? Will the up this fee to £250 next? I would have expected some right to object within 30 days, but they seem happy that they are still good val

Love it! You should crowd fund it - I'd chip in - you'd only need 150 to 500 folk chipping in a bit each - well worth it to be part of a David & Goliath story. Keep the updates coming!

Parcelforce Error with Import Charges
help_me_please replied to Phoenicia's topic in Postal and Delivery Services
Sorry for the thread drag up, but it is similar to my case. My situation is that PF want to charge a fee which is more than the VAT they collected - I am more than willing to pay the VAT, but not to pay the fee which forms well over 50% of what PF are asking! To emphasise - no issue with paying the VAT, no issue with the VAT value - just PF charging a disproportionate fee. I am fairly sure (timings, etc.) that my parcel was not opened - no work done in resealing, etc. I had a great conversation yesterday - was told that the fee is added to the parcels by HMRC (PF do collect & keep -
Thanks guys - I have threatened them with everything including TS, but still they don't give a... The official complaint to the top seems good (I had actually tried to google such an address a few weeks ago, with no luck). PS rebel11 I notice you said when, not if, you get it in post 11, so I think you are the scud! LOL

Despite the email Tuesday saying it would be delivered as originally arranged, 6 hours spent waiting & NOTHING!!! I used to love argos, recommended them (admittedly not for furniture) manys a time & never generally had much issue (except with furniture). NEVER again!

Good luck mate - just on here to update my saga...

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Seems that Lazarus can rise - they have managed to secure stock of the previously discontinued/unavailable item! I can't thank this forum enough - I think that without it being here, I would have folded & cancelled the order. It just goes to show that the pattern mentioned in the various threads on this sub forum is true - if you complain long enough & loud enough, they try shafting some other poor bugger, giving you their item, in the hope that he won't complain. ashmk, your words still echo - watch this space, I may be back with a SOGA thread!

If fight for it means keep refusing their offers & keep chipping away, then bring it on. If it means risking my house in a protracted legal battle, no thanks. I have always felt that big companies get away with these farces because there is no legal president - I have always feared going to 'the small claims court' as having read up on it, it is really a track, one which you have no certainty of using - should it be reviewed & deemed too complex, you could end up in the main track, with costs becoming an issue.

Am I not right in thinking that I am entitled to compensation? The whole thing is further complicated by the use of a voucher (I bought extra items to qualify for a higher voucher spend - I saved £50 instead of £20 by buying less than £30 worth of extra items - never would have bought them at full price - they were delivered about 4 weeks ago). What a mess - I hate Argos! Have used them for years with little issue - never thought they could be such a useless shower of ...

The email says "We've charged this order to your card, authorisation number . If we cannot accept your order for any reason we'll provide a full refund to your card. " - it was sent 12th July & money shows a transaction date on my CC of 10th July. It also says "ORDERS ARE ACCEPTED SUBJECT TO OUR TERMS AND CONDITIONS. (argos.co.uk/static/StaticDisplay/includeName/TermsAndConditions.htm)" I have had to remove parts of the liink.

Please advise me folks - I know Argos are morally in the wrong, but what are the legalities? I ordered a recliner, half price in their sale - it was advertised on the site as 'in stock for home delivery' - I chose the latest possible delivery date as it suited me (due to move house), more than 30 days ahead. Heard nothing (no email whatsoever) until I called them a week later - yes they had the order. Then a few days later an email arrived laden with the usual caveats about order may be cancelled if they so wish, which I took no heed of, not expecting issues. (I do now wonder if I am t
