When anyone asks a question on this or any other site they take a risk:

 

a) The risk that there isn't anyone available who knows the answer.

 

b) The risk that the person commenting may not know what they are talking about, even though they might sound convincing.

 

c) The risk that no-one will answer the post in time for the info to be helpful.

 

tt offers a shortcut - but like any other person who offers a service she is entitled to charge for it.

 

As for £1 a minute being scandalous, what about the fees solicitors charge? and I'm not talking about legal aid rates.

Unless you are lucky, you don't always get the right advice or information - I know, I've been ripped off by solicitors who pretended to know what they were doing and didn't, and there is nothing you can do about it afterwards except pay them, or face the bailiffs they'll send.

Yes, I read that too, and it's good till noon tomorrow.

 

I can't see what the problem is......

This will also be the final post from me on this matter

 

So as not to offend the delicate sensibilities of anyone who may read this post, may I gently and respectfully suggest that this is unlikely to be the final post from either yourself or tomtubby, I've seen threads like these rumble on for months.

 

 

Given their is no way of contacting this company other than via the 0906 number or paying another £10 fee to ask another question....my thoughts were, you have tried for along period to contact them on the phone and not been able to do so.... you have no office address or alternative number...or email address...your only option is to pay another £10 to ask about this problem....well they could have offered alternative means of contact in the event of any problem with their reply or accessing the areas of the site "the password" allows....unfortunately none of these options are available.... and thought perhaps there is something not quite right.... Trading Standards was the only official body I could think of who would be able to carry out an enquiry.....

 

 

Without wishing to cause you or anyone reading/moderating this thread any offence, you have been on this site since November 08, and in that thread you were in contact with tomtubby, you could just have easily posted the question "Does anyone know anything about B....A....Online".

 

Posting the title "BEWARE....." is appears to be suggesting that you know for sure it is a website to be distrusted, and that is potentially damaging and may have caused tomtubby some loss.

That's not fair to the site-owner, who is ultimately responsible for everything that is posted and that's why we try not to make such statements publicly or say anything potentially damaging about any company or person, unless it is obviously fair comment.

 

I am now sorry for making that offer, as the post being made by me on their behalf may well prevent me from getting advice in future....

 

Jacqui that truly is offensive and unfair to the regular posters on this site who are not so small minded.

I think most regulars on this site would agree that the title of this post could have been chosen more thoughtfully and the position you've taken over ten quid a bit OTT; IMHO it makes you look as if you've been a bit trigger happy on this occasion.

 

But that doesn't mean that anyone here would be so malicious as to deny you or anyone else information that might help reduce your (or their) distress.

 

It was very decent of you to offer to help people who don't have an internet connection, there is no reason why you should stop doing that.

 

 

The reason for stating previously that no further post would be made, was due to others attempting to hi-jack this thread or post for their own agenda...

 

No-one that has posted appears to me to have attempted to do that.

 

I suspect you may be referring to the posts made by myself and Letsmakeamark and deleted by Jonni2bad.

 

So it's important that you understand that:-

Neither of us was making a personal attack upon you - I wouldn't do that.

Neither of us was attempting to hijack this thread - however they were read.

 

I hope that everyone involved in this thread has learnt something useful from this miserable and unnecessary affair.

 

 

Remember - we are actually trying to help each other here :grin:
