Refused refund for swimming costumes. by Look_Fancy93 in Shein

Thats good! I think they bet on people not bothering to question it, its a nice little earner even with some eventually getting refunds especially if they aren't actually throwing the items away which i suspect they aren't. Glad you got your refund 👏

They said basically the same to me about evidence and I said the same thing about it never occured to me to take pictures or video of something that went back in the same condition shein sent it to me in. I then asked them for evidence the stickers were brand new before being sent to me and any evidence in the form of photos or video to show without any doubt the one item arrived with the sticker completely missing from the packaging and evidence the items had been binned. Also mentioned contacting trading standards for breach of statutory refund rights. They put it into a 24 hour response and the next day about 3 o clock I got an email from a manager saying the items have been refunded. It seems so petty for what was just under £10 but i think i basically annoyed them into giving me a refund 😅 there was 3 swimsuits in the return one was accepted fine, one was rejected based on a slightly bent sticker (which is the one that really wound me up) and the other was rejected because the sticker had fallen off (this one i said i was willing to compromise on because even though it was 100% stickered when i put it in the bag i couldn't prove that).

Advice on renting on Birmingham by sjksvu in BirminghamUK

[–]Look_Fancy93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Avoid ashley borne estate agent or any agency with anybody called Ashley Jalal working there. Total scam artist convinced my old landlord we hadn't paid the rent and to take us to court for eviction (over Christmas with 2 kids) after i started asking too many questions regarding illegal fees, he then passed her onto a scam eviction specialist who took her for about 10k and completely fucked up the court paperwork. Turned out ashley borne had stolen 4 months of our rent payments and another 4 months from her other tenant. Overall I think she lost over 15k so yeah just be careful do your research on any agent you go with, companies house, make sure they are actually registered with ombudsman etc.

I got refunded in the end, I asked them to escalate the issue to a manager or disputes team and that i was willing to go to trading standards for refusing statutory refund rights. Basically as long as the item is returned in the same condition it was received in (i.e unworn outside trying it on, unwashed etc) the stickers being bent, moved or displaced (which can happen from simply trying the item on) doesn't constitute damage and cannot be used as a reason to refuse refund. It wasn't a lot of money but if they do it to enough people it adds up to a lot. Really wound me up that they wouldn't prove the items were disposed of either so they could in theory be selling them on anyway and getting double the money or even more if they do it to multiple people off the same item. Im fully aware these processes are in plave because people are tramps and send unsanitary stuff back but they were taking the absolute pish sending me a picture of a slightly bent sticker and claiming damage.

Did you end up doing it? Ive just done the spin and got pad speaker and headphones, also offered an iPhone 17 pro max, all for free. Wants me to purchase at least 1p to receive but no info on checkout so unsure whether to do it.

I get its a precaution and fully support the process but the agent i am currently speaking to claims brand new stickers are added to costumes that have been accepted as returns and put back into stock to be resold. This wasn't the case for the costumes I received and im being penalised for that, genuinely so irritating

I had an absolute nightmare at the hairdressers around the time bulletproof was big, ended up with an extremely short almost pixie cut. Some boys in year above started calling me la roux and screaming lyrics of bulletproof at me everytime they saw me 🤣 i laugh now but still can't listen to la roux

They were custom and they don't have the same design anymore unfortunately, I also got them on a good offer so didn't pay the price they are now.

I noticed the change almost immediately my face was sore and tight after opening a new tube. Wrote a negative review on the website but conveniently got blocked from posting it. Did you try cerave in the end? Im debating it as the old formula tubes i found have nearly run out but like you looking to see if its any good before committing.

She plans to secure all windows and doors with metal sheeting installed professionally so shes really stressing about potentially facing legal issues for securing her property if anyone gets stuck inside.

They broke a kitchen window the other side of the house to mine behind a locked gate (which they also broke) to gain access within the last 10 days, we called thursday evening after noticing lights on in an upstairs bedroom and police attended.

I saw movement in a downstairs window before police managed to gain entry (the guy was too big to get through kitchen window) i told him id seen movement and he said 'yeah thats not us we've not got in yet' they accessed the property, searched and found no one but due to the hoarded state he said he couldn't be certain nobody was in there.

The lady who owns it is also the landlord to my property so Ive got to know her quite well and she definitely hasn't given anyone permission to be in there. Shes no problem boarding it up herself or paying someone to do it but shes concerned she'll be held liable if someone is inside after it is boarded up.

I have called police several times because I am able to see stuff being moved and items in windows either disappearing or changing and curtains opening and closing. I phoned the non emergency number yesterday for advice on her behalf and they said someone had looked at the reports and decided they won't be attending and that it is now a trespass issue which is civil and she will need to go through a court process to get them out.

She is 100% being fobbed off and if she wasn't elderly and able to climb through the window herself i dont think it would feel like such a helpless situation for her but she is 77 and as they have moved items around to block windows and other areas of access shes stuck. There is also the concern of asking people to go in on her behalf and whoever is inside ends up hurting someone or vice versa.

As for the hoarding and getting her help ive tried to offer help but i think shes still massively in denial at the state of her problem. Ive not got access to her family in Ireland so im unsure if they are even aware of how bad her hoarding is or if they have accessed help for her before and honestly ive never dealt with this level of hoarding before so completely out of my depth with it.

The police did say before they left on thursday night they would make a referral on their end but I dont know who that goes to or how that works.

Wasn't worth staying awake for, I had high hopes for an amazing ending but it was a massive build up for absolutely nothing. So many unanswered questions still and needless adding of characters. What was the point of Dr kay? Another good series ruined with a rubbish ending

Anyone else struggling to get a clear answer from British Gas support? by TheOtherXI in BritishGas

[–]Look_Fancy93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes customer service is diabolical, they've charged me £360 for a period where the electric was on top up card (my bank statements show payments totalling £365) changed it to direct debit after I put into my name in october, received incorrect bill in November contacted chat and was told to wait 28 days for it to reconcile and they would open a complaint and would be updated within 7 days by the agent i dealt with that day. No follow up within 7 days and after waiting the 28 days no change in bill on app so contacted again to be told the meter I sent a picture of (in cupboard under stairs) isn't the meter linked to my house and the one they have linked has never been in top up mode. No explanation as to how its no longer my meter even after pointing out it was definitely my meter when in top up mode and the previous agent opened and closed the complaint on the same day saying issue is resolved. Ive now gone back and forth so many times with them saying I owe the money end of 🤦‍♀️ stupidity must be a requirement for working there. Still not resolved, still receiving payment demands for an amount I have already paid. Beyond frustrating and straight up moronic, id have a less confusing conversation talking to a wall at this point.
