O2, finally changed my opinion of them

by purplewitch, 03-05-2019, 09:28 AM

[COLOR="DarkOrchid"]I took out an iphone contract over a year ago on O2 and it was a nightmare from day one. Actually getting the phone took weeks and so many calls where I got responses like 'There's no order on the system' 'That account number you've given me doesn't exist'.

I have then spent a whole year trying to get itemisation on my bills. The online access thing proved to be a huge nightmare as the login link they made me do was for personal not business accounts and it wouldn't let me access the business system. Then it wouldn't let me re-register and all I got from Customer Services was 'Well you're set up, just login' Then they got a new online system and sent me a new login and password about four months ago but everytime I got in it wasn't working enough to actually show me more than my name and address.

Finally, I got in today and was able to work out that what I thought were big bills as I was going over my minutes is actually big bills as I am way over my texting bolt on. I've had a rough week or so and patience and good moods are lacking so I placed a call .. I was more than a little narky and finally got put through to 'my business manager' who said 'Ahh you are halfway through your contract so you used to be entitled to an upgrade but we don't do that anymore' Before my blood had time to boil, she added 'So what we can do for you is half the price of your bolt on, reduce your line rental and change your tarriff to unlimited texts and double your current minutes at no extra cost, oh and for your inconvenience I have placed a £200 credit on the account, is that acceptable?'

Talk about take the wind of out of my sails ... lol..

Suffice to say I am happy.. but I am not actually telling them that til I see my next bill because if it hasn't been actioned I expect the answer my next call will be 'No, we don't have a Miss _______ ________ working here, never have had, there's no record of any call from you' [/COLOR]

Green boogers on my wheelS

by clossie, 02-05-2019, 06:00 PM

Why oh why does a high street branded garage use bright green snot coloured dust caps when they fill our lovely new Tyres with nitrogen.
Noticed them as soon as I walked towards the car, but in typical true Brit fashion didn't do anything. But......now some 8 hours later, looking at those little bobbles of boogers on my anthracite alloys is just driving me mad and I won't get a chance to get to halfords till the weekend.

But! Do I take this opportunity to improve on the ole plastic dust cap. What have you guys got?

Removing "yellowing" from clear rubber.

HI guys, i fitted about 9 months ago some DTRL to my car, and now the sun has started to turn them yellow!
Is there any way to de-yellow them?

Here's a pic of what iv got fitted.



I know their only cheap and iv ordered some more, but would like to know if there's a way to re-store them back to clear?

Cheers.

Mortgage Advice?

by Saraj, 30-04-2019, 04:22 PM

Hi Everyone,

Is it me or is the business of lending money over?

I've been wanting to buy a house and here in Nelson you can pick them up between 30k - 45k. Decent 2 bedroom, Living Room, Dining Kitchen house.

Area's not bad either.

But I cant even get a mortgage for that amount !

I have applied through both C&G and Northern Rock, both for 43k.

I have 10% deposit and my credit score is 999, my report does show missed payments but over a year ago. Im on the electrol role as well.

Just cant understand what the issue is, both lenders said credit check failed.

Any advice from anyone? I had one broker who quoted 2k for there services if i was successful in finding a mortgage.

One broker went through the details and found Northern Rock as best deal and wanted me to apply through them, I went to Northern Rock direct and got declined, would it have made a difference if a broker applied on my behalf?

Insurance gone up £200???!!!!

Because I knew the car wouldnt be on the road for a while I decided to start modifying some parts.

The interior leather was cleaned using meguiars, doesnt smeel too strong but does make a difference to the leather, it feels slightly softer but im guessing that is because it was properly looked after before.

Hope these pics work!
I will update more soon as this is a bit long winded to do all at once. And aslo will list future plans and current mods.
Not the greatest but Im proud so far.
