Homeq has got to rate in the top, 5 worst companies. It is unfortunate that substandard companies are able to operate for so long before they are shut down. I don't understand why Homeq will call you repeatedly every hour on the due date of payment, you due have a grace period. read full review »

I am very disillusioned with Barclays Bank and am currently having a problem with their online banking (which must have serious security problems) and their apparent inability to help me. It is the case that I travel a lot and am therefore not able to get to a bank very often, once a month max. On 24Nov06 I tried to set up a new payment online. Having gone through the correct procedures I kept getting a failure message so I called the Bank. I was told that they had added a “new facility” that stopped me setting up new payment... read full review »

I purchased a tv through Shop NBC in February of 2006. When the tv went bad and I tried to return it Shop NBC told me they have a strict 30 return policy. This was approximately 6 months after the purchase. I followed their instructions on how to get repairs through the maker. After about 7 weeks of phone tag with them the problem was diagnosed. I was given a number and told to call it once the parts they were sending arrived. I received the parts on December 7,2006 I made my first call on December 8,2006. Since then I have made numerou... read full review »

Me and my husband spent $1054.69 in this store and the owner did not have the item I put in layaway so he sent me a "Piece of Junk" without me know what the product look like. He was very cunning in talking with my husband and leading to believe we were paying the the item we originally put in the layaway. I would not recommend anyone to do business here. read full review »

I sent 5 working cell phones to this company for cash in 2005. I was never paid or acknowledged by the company. The service is misrepresented and bogus. read full review »

On 12/05/06 I read an ad on voip.com about using their phone service. The ad said if you sign up and your not satisfied with the service, and you cancel in the first 30 days they will refund your money. Voip.com has 2 ways of using there service. First by using their equipment and connecting your phone to it, and by using a computer based phone system called Softphone. I signed up for softphone and used their service for about 10 days. I cancelled the service and they charged a disconnect fee of 14.90. I asked if I was eligible for refund... read full review »

I purchased an Xbox360 for my son, who is mentally handicapped and does not have the freedom / opportunities of normal folks. He depends upon things like video games to keep him active and happy. The new system did not work (had steady red lights), and I called Customer Support on October 16. I spoke with Nancy. She determined that my system was bad and asked me to ship it to McAllen, TX (at my expense) for a replacement (refurbished) unit. I received the unit a couple of weeks later. It, too, had the "red light" problem, so I... read full review »

My husband and I visited this particular establishment Sunday January 7, 2006 around 1pm. Upon entry in the restaurant the hostess asked how many were in our party and we replied 2 non smoking. We were seated and that was it. No one acknowledged that we were sitting at the table for 15 min. My husband was ready to leave after 10 min of waiting and not having anyone help us. But i talked him into waiting another 5. Then a family of 4 comes in and sit at the table beside us. Not only did a waitress come out to greet them. She gave them... read full review »

I placed an order with halfpricedmags.com on August 3rd, 2006. After waiting the 8-12 weeks for my subscription to arrive, I began contacting the company to attempt to resolve the problem. I just submitted a fourth request today in an attempt to get either my subscription or my money back. I've not received a response to any of my previous communications so I'm not holding my breath--hopefully others won't lose money on this same scam from this cheating company. read full review »

I purchased an extended auto repair warranty from Platinum Warranty Corp. December 30,2004 at a cost of $2049.00. My first attempt to use the service was 01-05-2007. Phone# on my warranty card was invalid. I looked on the website and realized I was in trouble from the postings of victims of this corporation. I live in Arizona and have contacted our Attorney General but not enough time has passed for an answer. An interesting bit of information I found, was that the Ohio Attorney General, Jim Petro filed suit in Cuyahoga County... read full review »

My dad is a big fan of the TV series Coach, so my mom ordered the DVD set for the entire series from this website for a Christmas present. She ordered it in November when she was told it was in stock. They charged her credit card right away. On the Monday before Christmas, she reluctantly agreed to pay an additional $36 for expedited shipping for a pre-Christmas delivery. As of today, it still hasn't arrived despite their email earlier this week that it had shipped. By the way, they advertise UPS shipping on their website... read full review »

I wanted to download kazaa. I clicked on the download icon, the subscription page that came up, said I could get 2 years membership for 99p per month. I thought this was reasonable so I excepted, went through the procedure at the end of which I ended up on a page that said I had been charged ?23 but made no sense to me compared with what I had expected, it certainly was not kazaa. My computer then started installing something but then just stopped. I could not find what was attempting to install so I thought my request had simply been... read full review »

The KFC on AZ Ave in Chandler just north of Galveston Rd. has a big problem with their mashed potato bowls. It's the only thing I've ordered there so far. Twice now I've been ripped. The first time it was half full and the second time the chicken was missing, there were only pieces of fried breading. YUK! read full review »

I have been dealing with Aaron's in Conway South Carolina for over 7 months. I have been a model customer. I have paid my payments 15 days early every month! The furniture that I got from them was a sectional sofa and a recliner. While I love the recliner and I have had no problems with it, the Sectional is a piece of junk! The seats are ALREADY caving in where we don't even sit! There are wires sticking out of the sides of the cushions in the seats and they poke you in the leg when you sit down. Because of this and the fact that I... read full review »

Mr. Weimorts was hired to represent me and totally dropped the ball. I could never speak with him directly and left numerous messages with his paralegal. On my very important court date he was "sick" and had another attorney represent me (of which I had never met before until 5 minutes before court,) and I thought I was pleading no-lo to a misdeamor. To my surprise, I have found out that I pleaded guilty to a FELONY!! Oh which I would have never done!! He Sucks!! But he did get his $6,000 for five minutes of his time. I wouldn't... read full review »

Car Renter Beware! Recently I needed to rent a vehicle while mine was in the shop for repairs. It was a short term rental, only 3 days. When I picked up the vehicle they tried to talk me into taking their bumper to bumper car insurance for $12.00 plus some change per day and I informed them that I had excellent insurance and would not need the extra coverage. I walked around the vehicle with the agent and looked for any obvious damage before signing for the vehicle. I noticed small chip in paint but figured this was normal wear and tear... read full review »

Back in 4/05 i had dinner baking in oven, and the broiler turned on, could not turn it off. The only way to turn it off was to unplug the stove, when you plugged it back in--Red hot broiler turned on!! Sears replaced the "control Circuit Board" that controls all the electronics. Well...now 1/8/07, it was a repeat, it happened again. Dinner in the oven, i just happened to walk thru the kitchen, pulled the burning chicken out of oven, saw the "broiler" on, when the oven was on "bake", and could not turn the broiler off... read full review »

We live in the Upper Penninsula of Michigan and when we were recently in Green Bay, WI, we shopped at Sam's Club. We live approximately 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours away. When we got home and opened the shrink wrap the cans were punctured and open. There was no way to tell with the shrink wrap on. Seeing we live so far away it is not feasible to return the defective products. Please advise on what to do next. The product coed is 53800 61016, on the package, the product code on the receipt is 19465, 6 6oz olives. We would expect some kind of restitution for this.

I had an experience this past weekend, similar to one that I read about on your website. I wrote a check at a Home Depot. The check was denied, with no explanation. I was eventually told to contact Certegy, the company that approves the checks. Certegy had no information that would suggest that they should deny a check written from this account, other than citing that the amount was a large amount ($600), while I have thousands of dollars sitting in that account. They offered me an opportunity to fill out a Gold application that... read full review »

I had the most horrible experience at the Days Inn in Rocklin California! On the weekend of 01/5/07 I visited the Days Inn in Rocklin California with my 69 yr old mother and my 69 year old godmother. We were refused a downstairs room even though I expressed the fact that I had 2 senior citizens accompanying me. We had even received the senior discount on the Days Inn website which should have been a "red flag" that we would need a downstairs room!! Both of the senior ladies have problems with their legs and knees. The walking up and... read full review »

I just wanted to share my horrible experience with The Removal Group company in the UK. (www.removalgroup.com). They came to pack us up in Paris on September 7, saying it would be 6-8 weeks to get our half a container worth of stuff to San Francisco. It's January 7th now, and our stuff still isn't here, though we're told it has arrived in LA finally. The price was good, and the service was great until they took our money. I was told that they would pull half of the amount out of our bank account before the shipment, and the... read full review »

I seriously doubt this situation is "news" to most people, but it did shock me! Tarrant, AL is a very small town, and I'm only aware of two grocery stores in the city. One is Southern Foods, and it is closing. They were having a Store Closing Sale, with everything 40 to 50% discounted. Okay, not happy they're closing, but might be a good chance to get some good deals. Well, nice sale. They have cereal "on sale" for $3.58. Its normal price is at least that price, if not less. They have a canned food item... read full review »

Do not ever buy anything from this company! We bought a well drilling machine from this company for 6000.00. We were told they were 30 days backlogged so we waited a month. I then called again and the lady I talked to said she'd call me back to let me know what was going on. Never got a call back and another month went by and I called back and the same woman I spoke to said she’d call me back and she promised and never did. Every time I would call no one would answer. I waited one more month and it was August now and we... read full review »

I have fallen victim to Aqua Resource Group myself. I bought in to the system 2 years ago, and luckily I had a good rep at first that helped with problems that came up. Then recently I got talked into joining a marketing campaign that involved a dialer and was promised 100,000 live messages, call tracking and reporting, Power rewards setup and 300 activation codes, and 150 3 day cruise certificates to give away on this "amazing opportunity". I was guaranteed in writing that I would receive a minimum of 200 mortgage inquiries. And that... read full review »

Right before Christmas I purchased a Gliga violin for my wife as a Christmas present. The company sent me the wrong violin and the wrong case. When I call the company I get voice mail and they have not returned my call. The company also will not answer my e-mail. Dealing with Violinslover out of Pasadena has been a major disappointment. The company is listing new merchandise on E-Bay so I know they are open for business. I have never had such a bad internet purchasing experience before. The violin I received also had numerous scuffs and... read full review »

I purchased a laptop from bestbuy.com last week with Microsoft XP but with a FREE VISTA UPGRADE. They would even pay the shipping and handling charges. Just print the Rebate form and send it in for the Free Vista Express Upgrade Disc. I called the Rebate center at 1-800-817-5602. They said this is false and bestbuy and circuit city are not telling the truth about this. There is just a discounted coupon you are entitled to. It is not free and you have to purchase VISTA. What a lie and a rip off from such big companies at holiday time. We... read full review »

On August 30, 2006 I purchased the so called money making business opportunity from The Worlds Greatest Vitamins. It came about and I requested my first refund with in that same week. I refused all items I received from the company as soon as they arrived. I keep getting charge for a web sight that should never have been done and which I have never been able to find. I have spoke to them at least once a month since. I was even told by one person when I called in November, that he would put a rush on it. Nothing happened. I... read full review »

I called Garra in February of 2006 and explained to him that I had 2 floppy drives on my computer and only one was hooked up. I told him my son built the computer but did not know how to make 2 floppy drives work. Garra told me it was real easy to fix by doing a daisy chain. He came out to my house and figured out that he could not do a daily chain without a particular part. He told me he would come back with the part. I gave him $50 and he left. He never came back with the part. I talked to him several times with him replying "the part i... read full review »

Today, September 14, 2004, I was told by a representative in the legal division that I will receive it by September 20 or the 21st, 2004. To date I have paid this company 1603.34 and I received nothing. I have reported this company to the Attorney General of Maryland, Consumer Protection Division and they were very instrumental in assisting me with this company. Hopefully I will receive this computer by these dates given as of today. Thi... read full review »

Heads up. I am letting you and the public know of my experience. On three seperate occasions, after purchasing Encore foods chopped onions of Canada, I discovered live maggotts. The first two times I pitched them. This latest container I took to Big Lots in Sterling Heights, Michigan, and complained to the manager, who said I could have a full refund. I told her I wanted the company notified and to correct matters there. I also wrote to the company and compained. I still may contact the consumer protection agency in Michigan.

I took a Payday loan out with Cashnet500.com and due to the extreme fees they kept on charging me I got a negative in my account and they closed my account. I opened a new account with a diff. bank and today I had over $400 worth of transactions from cashnet500.com. I do not see how they can take fees out of an account that is not the account I received the loan on. I contacted my bank ASAP and they are starting a fraud case on them. Hopefully I will get the money reimbursed to me. That is a lot of money and I have already been speaking... read full review »

I went to a site where it advertised free ebay cd for $1.95 or 1.97. Then a week or so later fastauction.com showed up on my bank account charging me 49.95. The day before on my bank statement keyword success charged me 16.95 There was nothing of these hidden charges explained. When I called my bank they tried to connect to the phone number that was the same for both charges and it said it was the wrong number. That was the number the bank had so they are now sending me dispute papers to try to get my money back. There is no way to contact them threw their website either.

I am writing this report to express my views of the horrible President we all have in George W. Bush. I am a Veteran of the Operation Iraqi Freedom and have spent most of my adult life in the military. I will start with the liberation or rather invasion of Iraq.

The President had no plan as to what we were to as a military in the country of Iraq after successfully taking over the country. Now we seem to be... read full review »

I purchased a PALM LifeDrive PDA from Gizmos2go on December 06 as a Chistmas gift. As it wasn't opened until Christmas, we had NO idea that the cord supplied with the unit was not the Hot Synch cord, thus making it impossible to set up the device. I have sent several emails to Gizmos2go asking for the right cord, and have been totally ignored. I called the number for Gizmos2go that was on the charge slip and that voice mail box is full and incapable of taking any more messages. Obviously, they have their money and could care le... read full review »

In October I ordered cable service including the road runner internet and e-mail service. The technicians never showed up when they were supposed to. When they finally did show up they did not have the right cable and I wasted a whole day that I took off from work.

In the mean time the internet service had several problems. The modems did network and a second tech wa... read full review »

I am sure this has happened to many other people, but this is the first time for me. I recently adopted a puppy and I was nervous to leave her home alone for the first time. In the midst of making sure I had gated her properly and removed any objects she could get in to, I locked myself out of my home. Just moving in a month ago, I had not made arrangements to give someone a spare set of keys. I tried calling my landlord and he did not answer. So I had to call a locksmith. After several calls, I found someone who would come out for $55. I... read full review »
