But of late, some fraudsters have used general awareness of this concept... read full review »

MCT Credit Union (Montgomery County Teachers Federal Credit Union in Rockville, MD) used to be great. The customer service used to be very good, but it seems lately that nobody there knows what they're doing and everyone is new. It seems lately that whenever I do some business there, they fumble around, can't provide any good answers to my questions and make mistakes on my account. I think they have become financially insolvent too. It's time to take my business to another credit union. Does anyone know of some other good credit unions in the area? I hear Mid-Atlantic is good. read full review »

We hired 'Just in Time Furnace and Air duct Cleaning Inc.' In Calgary, Alberta recently. The company seemed to be well presented over the phone, in ads, etc. but when they came to the house to do the actual service call, the man was a smelly, unkept, rude man. His mannerisms were not at all professional and downright rude in his communication with us. We asked him a few very simple questions upon the completion of the work and he was gruff and barely able to give us some information on what services had been done. His only concern... read full review »

This lending company is by far the worst I have ever encountered in my 43 years in finance. I have never experienced such aggression and harassment from a loan company over minor issues. An example: our mortgage payment is due on 1st of each month. On the 2nd they make multiple calls to my wife on her home phone (leaving messages "when will we be paid") calls to her office number despite being told she cannot tale personal calls and calls and sms to her cel phone. All this is for being 'ONE DAY OVERDUE'. If ever you... read full review »

On 28/8/2010 Harkers came to remove us. They scratched a TV screen in the process. I paid them 423 pounds. I informed them but nothing. I again wrote to them & informed their regulatory body. They replied saying their insurance company had lost the letter. In 12 weeks no one has been to see the TV set leaving my family without service. I finally bought a TV. In my opinion Harkers operate without insurance & had no intention of honouring the debt. read full review »

I applied to raise money against an old works pension I had invested with Legal & General. I was given a quote by Legal & General on 24/6/10 that £859 would be deducted from the transferred funds which they called the M. V. adjustment. Without even warning me three weeks later when the transfer of funds took place they deducted £1659 an incredible 100% increase on the amount originally quoted. At least Dick Turpin wore a mask. It is absolutely incredible thst they are allowed to get away with this. I have asked them to provide an... read full review »

Sigma3 Kitchens in Cardiff - If you are buying a new kitchen & you have more money than sense these are the people to go to. The sales reps are pushy & give it the hard sell to sign a contract securing a 'discounted price' for a 10% down payment. Be warned, you will not get this 10% back if you have second thoughts, or you come to your senses & realise you are paying way over the odds. My wife fell for the sales trap, fancy show rooms, well spoken, quick talking salesman. Only after further investigations did she realise how much... read full review »

Okay, so I thought I'd post this review of the 'services' of RJB Distribution to try and stop other people losing hours of their time just like I have... I was at home one day when a man from RJB knocked at my door.
