In the interests of saving money, I contact 02 to change over to pay as you go since I don't use my mobile so much now. Even though they told me previously that I was on the lowest monthly tariff (?17), to persuade me to stay on a monthly contract they halved my monthly charge to ?8.50 and gave me ?50 credit on my account. Worth a phone call I would say!

I'm with Vodafone, have been for 7 years now - went into a store a couple of weekends ago just to have a look at phones - left with a ?40 credit off my next bill and a brand new whizzy phone that does all sorts of things I don't need (but it's fun). Didn't change my contract as I'm happy with it (?17 a month for 125 any time any network calls, which is plenty for me, and unlimited texts). It's definitely worth calling them or popping into a branch!
Just saw that my bank were going to charge me 125 bloody quid at the end of this month! Now I expected, and even accepted some charge this month, but not that. I remembered this thread and called my bank, told them I was planning to close my account and look elsewhere... I was put on hold for 5 seconds before they came back and said they'd reduce it by ?75 Not bad for a 5 minute phone call! :)-D

Sorry, just seen that. It was HSBC, been with them since it was Midlands, and have never bothered changing. Have never opened other accounts with them though.


Did get ?2k charges back from them last year though, dated back to my student days, and the wild couple of years following!


LadyG, I shall indeed get you a large glass of vino!

    • Hope all the ‘high streets for people’ events went well! Very short notice probably for people living in the area and on a very hot day!  James McAsh just doesn’t know what to do next with Southwark Council Tax payers money. He advocates the few streets in the area that has a bus service and then shuts the routes down! Very annoying for people who want to go about their daily business and have already had restrictions brought in by McAsh. 
    • Thank goodness for Greg. I had an awful situation whereby I was notified that water was leaking from my flat into the flat below me. I was 150 miles away at the time and had a panicked journey home not knowing what I was going to face.   I called Greg (after seeing reviews on the forum) as soon as I arrived home in the evening and he arrived just after 10pm and was able to shut off the problem. He had to come back to finalise the job which turned out to be caused in a communal area whereby there was a blockage in the stack pipe.   Greg worked quickly, efficiently and informed me every step of the way as to what he was doing and why. He also cleaned up really well afterwards.  Greg's charges are very reasonable and he will definitely be my "go-to" if I have any other plumbing issues in the future.    
    • Real Life was released in 1978. Yes it is a classic album.
    • Another recommendation for Nick. Copying below the review I have just left for him on Google: We don’t usually leave reviews for people online but are making an exception for Nick. He made fitted wardrobes for our loft conversion and did an absolutely fantastic job. The wardrobes are beautiful. Nick is passionate about producing a quality product, and also one that is bespoke to his clients’ needs. He guided us through the design to establish how we would actually use the space and built something that is fantastic. From start to finish the process was quick and each day he and his assistant Sean left the space tidy. I’m not sure we are easy people to please so the fact we are leaving a 5* review (indeed leaving a review at all) speaks volumes about what a great job Nick (and Sean) did. Nick also built a cupboard for our downstairs bathroom as part of the job and again it is brilliant. We would recommend them to anybody.
