Review of Travelex UK


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

£2 monthly inactivity fee. No option to close account!

Beware! These scammers charge a monthly £2 fee for inactivity after 12 months. I have logged in and seen they have already taken money and there is no option on their site to close my account. Now I have to contact them and waste my time. Never again, lost a customer for life and everyone I know. Congratulations.

I specifically stated that you collect from the shed by my front door. The driver did not collect. I rang your customer service and got a gay indian voice that I could not understand.

Dear Alex

Thank you for your review, we often send mail directly to businesses within the UK as we believe we have a great product that could help - it's what we're most passionate about!

However, as we understand that not everybody will be interested, we make it super easy for you to opt-out from these letters, either via our website (https://www.capitalontap.com/en/apps/opt-out) or by calling our wonderful Customer Service Team on 0208 962 7401.

All of our letters explain how to opt-out in the footer, but I’ve also reached out directly to you via Trustpilot to request some identifying information so that I can make sure you do not receive any further letters.

Very best wishes,
Helen

Wanted a letter to confirm account closure. They don't send letters out apparently. Not good. The chat feature they don't know how to answer the question. They also took money out my account twice instead of once. I think and hope I'm finally free!

Hey Alex, we are sorry to hear that you're disappointed in our account closure process. We don't provide closure letters, this applies to all customers. However, we will pass this feedback on to look into the scope of adding this.

Our chat service works to prioritize self-service at the first instance and thereafter it will be referred to the support team. Don't worry all of your correspondence is saved and the team will be able to look back on your conversation and will always assist as soon as they can.

We are concerned about the account charges you've experienced, if this still applies do let the team know by emailing support@imaginecurve.com and they'll investigate this further.

We hope that you'll give us that second chance to change your experience around, thank you!

Good returns process (it took me 3 returns to find a decent fit).
The enduro sharps have a metal logo on the back pocket which wasn’t shown in the photos, so I feel this was misleading and I don’t want logos on my clothing.
Also the enduro sharps are only available as a regular fit whereas I’d like to see what they look like with a tapered fit.
Overall I think it’s a little overpriced but if you want a no hassle returns process it’s worth paying extra to get the right fit without any hassle or extra charges when returning items. Therefore I will use them again.

Hey Alex,

Thanks for taking the time to leave your review here.

I'm really sorry to hear that you were left disappointed by the signifier on your Sharps. This is a relatively recent addition, which we hope is reasonably discrete - but apologies as you weren't expecting it.

All of our styles are tapered as standard, but it's true that right now our Slim Taper option is only available on a select few styles - not including our Enduro Sharps. We are looking to offer this option on more of our styles in the near future!

Nevertheless, it's wonderful to hear that our service has resonated with you on the whole, and we're looking forward to seeing you again.

All the best,

Alex

Hi Alex,

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review and sorry to hear you've had a bad experience with our Facebook group.

Whilst the core focus of the Facebook group is about money saving and deals, we do allow discussions on a range of topics, with members able to voice their opinions on things such as major news stories or more light-hearted content such as memes.

Facebook has it's own policies on acceptable content and, on top of these and Facebook's built-in reporting methods, we also actively monitor and remove inappropriate comments as we find them or they are brought to our attention.

If there's a particular post or comment that has caused you concern then please do reach out to us via our contact form (latestdeals.co.uk/contact?skipChat=true) where we're always happy to investigate and either remove the offending material or clarify our stance, as appropriate.

If your message is more generally about allowing content on the Facebook Group that has a political nature; we appreciate the feedback and will certainly take it on board! On the main Latest Deals website we don't actually allow political discussion and so perhaps it would make sense to align these guidelines with our Facebook group in the future.

Thanks again for taking the time to leave feedback - we always use it to shape the future direction of Latest Deals 👍

Fantastic company

Fantastic company. They sent out items in a jiffy bag which all got smashed, they then sent out a replacement once I complained. All other deliveries before that were packaged correctly in a box.

Review of Shell Energy for Home Customers


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Do not use this company

Do not use this company

I was moving house and for two weeks my electricity supplier was being moved across. During these two weeks Shell Energy issued me a closing bill as they previously supplied the electricity of £150. Yes, £150 for two weeks. I have refused to pay as it is extortionate and they have employed a debt recovery agency to hound me.

Reply from Shell Energy for Home Customers

Hi there, Alex. I'm really sorry to hear about the difficulties you've been having during the process of your home move. As you were only with us for 2 weeks, this could have been for a number of reasons; you would have more than likely been on the flexible tariff, so you're being charged at higher rates if the readings are correct. Otherwise, your opening or final reading may be incorrect and may need disputing. I would advise to check these on your closing bill and compare them against your current meter readings and the ones your new supplier has. If they do appear to be incorrect, get in touch with us and we can raise a dispute to do our best to get this sorted for you, Alex.

In regards to the debt collection, we can also review this and depending on the situation we can put the necessary steps in place to prevent this affecting you. We'll do our best to help you understand your bill and ensure it's accurate, Alex. ^Amy
