    Banks lack of service

    Just an update. HSBC's complaints department got back to me on Sunday, I was quite surprised as I really didn't think they'd bother. As you can imagine it was all the usual covid-19 blah blah safer working blah blah longer wait times blah blah. At the end of it they said that they had...

    Banks lack of service

    Wow, that's really concerning to hear that other banks, big banks are just as bad. This is the exact reason I asked, I don't want to jump from the fire and into the frying pan. I'll write out a complaint to both the head office and the ombudsman. Will update when / if I hear anything.

    Banks lack of service

    Thanks for the info. I rang mine around April time and had the same waiting time. I let them off for that but the service is worse now than it was then. I cannot actually get hold of them now, I've had to just give up. I did file a complaint via their email system but even though they...

    Banks lack of service

    Hi all, not been on here for years, thought it would be the best place to see how everyone else is finding their service from their bank. I bank with HSBC. Ever since we've had this virus, trying to get through to my bank on the phone is near impossible, their live chat on their website is not...

    Ebay

    I got a lifetime ban for being below their performance standards. Your defect rate is not allowed to go above 0.3% (yes that is zero point 3 percent), mine went to 0.32%, they instantly restricted my sales to 100 sales per month and because of that it was impossible to bring it back down...

    Ebay

    I got a permanent ban about 4 years ago now. I rang up and spoke to customer service last year and the guy said the ban is a lifetime ban, 0% chance of being allowed back on there to sell. I opened another account this Christmas just gone, used a different name, different address and chose to...

    Bitcoin - to invest or not?

    I was referring to quotes that I've made earlier in the thread. Look back to December 16th. Also look at the other Bitcoin thread on timeout. Not looking for an argument but I'm not a liar, just stating the facts. Chris.

    Bitcoin - to invest or not?

    That's a shame, if you had followed my advice you would have made a 50% return on Bitcoin and Ethereum as they both stand today.

    Bitcoin - to invest or not?

    This is so true. The amount of patronising comments about people not knowing what they are doing and are somehow being 'conned' is unreal. But but but... the tulips the tulips, god damn it they told me to say the tulips, lol. Don't forget what all the so called experts non other than the IMF...

    Bitcoin - to invest or not?

    One of the other ****** currencies could certainly end up being a currency. Bitcoin can't do that as it's limited. In terms of investing into the cryptocurrencies, it seems pretty obvious to me. Bitcoin is the leader and is driving the headlines, this generates all the mainstream interest...

    Bitcoin Rant

    Judging by the speed of the increase, it suggests that there is a lot of spare money about so I would expect it to keep increasing. Once the money people get involved then it's anyones guess. 20k to average joe is a lot of money, 20k to an investment banker is todays dinner money. If the...

    Entry level ecommerce website

    I'm currently building my first website and I have gone with Freewebstore. It's basic but it does everything that I need. It has a good selection of different designs, it's mobile friendly and you can put your storefront onto Facebook so customers can buy directly through Facebook...

    Bitcoin Rant

    It's high risk, high reward, what do you expect? Try getting a 10x return at a bank investment account for a year, lol. The price could go up and up. It's totally irrelevant whether it's classed as a good investment, all that matters is you can make a good return and whether you think it's...

    Bitcoin Rant

    Completely agree, this is why I find Bitcoin so fascinating. With normal currency when you print more money then that is supposed to devalue the currency and make another countries currency worth more. Despite printing an endless supply of money, this devaluation has not happened, the only...
