Hi all,

 

We all know that all companies cock up - some more than most.

 

I am trying to collate the most common cockups.

 

Please add to this sticky, preferably in a one line statement, the cockups that you have experienced over the years.

 

e.g.

 

DVLA ignored SORN declaration and I was fined.

Company XXX refused to refund me when good were faulty from outset.

 

etc....

 

All will become apparent soon....

 

Thank you.

Company Kent Car Finance refused to refund me when goods faulty from the onset.

 

Shorncliffe Auto's 'repaired' the vehicle, claiming there was nothing I could do, ignoring oil leak and previous unspecified collisiltion.

 

Had cavalier set on light and crime ignored as the vehicle was not insured, due to sale.

 

Had Nova's rear screen smashed and was sent a victim support leaflet for counselling.

Car Craft set up finance on wrong bank accuont set it up on my identification account not the one I wanted the fund to come out of! Got over £300 of charges from finance company and £500 on bank charges!!

 

Car Craft AGAIN told me warrenty was fully comprehensive (just forgot to say it was only up to £300 and not on wear and tear or a car of age) THIS WILL NOT BE FULLY COMPREHENSIVE THEN!!!!

 

Car Craft put a car up for sale on website when they didnt't stock the car and promise you the one there showing you is the same one even though its a higher price!!

Son purchased contract mobile phone and returned it within the 14 day 'cooling off' period. He was told that he could not as phone was without box. He was then advised that he could return it by paying a £ 5.00 charge. Tried to return phone again and was advised that he had damaged it. Then sent undamaged phone to headquarters requesting cancellation of contract. This was being considered. Today, the phone was returned claiming that it has been sent outside the permitted period.

 

The phone was sent recorded delivery within the correct period, however did not sign for the receipt of the phone.

 

Regards
