Companies That Let Us Down
 

We have all seen Watchdog, we have all been disgusted with many company policies and procedures.

I am looking for information on Companies near or far who have let you down, given you poor service, poor value for money, over priced products, delivery problems, poor after sales support etc....

Please give a brief description of the problem, the company, location and any information you feel is important. Anything of a sensitive nature, please feel free to email me.

Re: Companies That Let Us Down
 

An email address would be nice;)

Re: Companies That Let Us Down
 

A very cheery first post. Welcome to the forum...

I think this thread may need moderating very soon. Just a hunch.

Re: Companies That Let Us Down
 

Hello, sorry about that...

Re: Companies That Let Us Down
 

Mmmmm well a lot of the companies we deal with could do with moderating... lol

Re: Companies That Let Us Down
 

We have discussed this before here -

I don't think the mods were comfortable with the idea because it could be abused by businesses denigrating their rivals.

It would be a shame if people can not post an honest view, without prejudice....

Re: Companies That Let Us Down
 

Read Margaret's post again, by the way you came to this site, had me wondering what were your ulterior motives, you see over the years we've seen plenty of wise men barring gifts, and we also know the old saying there's no such thing as a free lunch, your not telling me that you will be providing this "ombudsman service" out of the goodness of you heart, are you:rolleyes:

Re: Companies That Let Us Down
 

Why ?

Re: Companies That Let Us Down
 

We don't want any today thank you.

Goodbye.

Re: Companies That Let Us Down
 

Like others i would like to know a damn site more about 1, you,2 your purpose. reason being yer a total stranger to me n probably most of the members, so yer opening post is highly suspicious to my reasoning.

Re: Companies That Let Us Down
 

Ok, first of all I can see some very sceptical people here. Quite harsh to a new user.... I'm not selling anything, just looking for feedback for a web site that may be developed... As for the goodness of my heart, you have no idea...
Its a shame that people cant ask for help on forums any more, I actually thought that's what these things were for, bringing the community together.... I guess not...

Re: Companies That Let Us Down
 

Guru, what do you really expect when you start off with a first post like that?

Tell you what, why don't you start again? Introduce yourself in the intro section, tell us a bit about yourself, even put a few posts in other sections about things that interest you. Maybe then we'd be a bit more responsive to your request! :)

Re: Companies That Let Us Down
 

If yeh had been around longer than 2 mins, yeh would understand the skepticism, theres been quite a few oer the years, n if yeh can't grasp that fact,i feel sorry fer yeh.

Re: Companies That Let Us Down
 

and of course this web site "which may develop" and bring the community together as no ulterior motive, as has been said, if, instead of a very inane first post, you'd have gone about things the right way, you may just have got peoples attention, but you may notice there are quite a few people on this site who have been around a while, and are well educated at the university of life, as I said in an earlier post there's no such thing as a free lunch

Re: Companies That Let Us Down
 

I'm still confused as to why you are setting this website up, and how much you will check the information given is correct ?

Re: Companies That Let Us Down
 

and how much will it cost;)

Re: Companies That Let Us Down
 

I was looking for feedback on experiences dealing with companies. We all have experience in life, some more some less, does that really matter when the question was about company dealings? As for my attitude, I asked a simple question that produced hostility and questioned my motives. If you didn't feel the need to answer the question then why reply with such a negative response. As seasoned forum users then surely you would relies the negative impact you have with such tedious petty comments. As an adult, I find it better to speak to people in a far more welcoming way, and not try to ostracise people. It's a shame that today's society is so interested in the motives of others instead of concentrating on their own behaviour and setting a friendly example. Disgusted, is putting it lightly.

Re: Companies That Let Us Down
 

Very contradictory. Rather thananswer the questions you blame everybody else too.

You critiscise people for being negative but you are hoping to start a website for 'Companies That Let Us Down'. What about being positive and have one for 'Companies We Praise' ? ;)


Why not then talk to the companies who have let you down and solve it that way. As a business we don't always get it right, but we would rather have customers tell us that so we can sort it out :)

Re: Companies That Let Us Down
 

oh so its hostility is it, to wonder after many examples on here of people wi n hidden agenda, i call it plain speaking, summat you don't seem to like if it dont fit in wi you, personally i think yer so far up yer own backside, yeh don't want to see it.:rolleyes:

Re: Companies That Let Us Down
 

Lol... the website will cover both sides but as proved it is far easier to get a response from people with a complaint.
As your in business your self I can appreciate you would like to speak directly, again another idea that is currently being addressed.
As for information, any post allowed to run on the site would have to be checked according to reciept verifacation, problem and any pending chance the issue can be sorted out.
As this is just an idea I feel people may find useful, the cost would have to be offset via advertising.
As for being negative, far from it, i'm sure you can appreciate the positivity required to take on any new venture....
Not contradictory just careful and concious enough to guard the future of a pending idea that may or may not be developed.

Re: Companies That Let Us Down
 

as people on here are being, yet you refuse to acknowledge that fact.:rolleyes:

Re: Companies That Let Us Down
 

Cashman, plain speaking is fine and dandy, as for being up my own arse..... it's not me with the suspicious mind, and the ignorance to attack someone you know nothing about. Your opinions is fine.... yours I aint interested in unless you can have an adult conversation... as for fitting in.... I do just fine, lmao.

Re: Companies That Let Us Down
 

good yeh have just demonstrated what i was saying,:rolleyes:

Re: Companies That Let Us Down
 

Err um "someone you know nothing about", isn't that what we have been saying, there are people on here who have been round the block a time or two and you are not the first person that has come on here, without introducing themselves first and then start making suggestions that we furnish them with negative things we have experienced. Why would I want to tell you, somebody I don't know from Adam, who hasn't had the decency to make a proper introduction, about my poor experiences with local or even national companies. There are right and wrong ways to approach a site as a new member, I'm afraid to selected the wrong one

Re: Companies That Let Us Down
 

It's a bit like a cold caller knocking at the door trying to sell me something or an unsolicited telephone survey - both unwelcome to me.

Re: Companies That Let Us Down
 

Think that is a very good comparison Michael

Re: Companies That Let Us Down
 

well said, but yeh will probably be called hostile now.:D
