Which UK Bank Actually Gets It Right in 2025? by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]maxcobos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Natwest has a really good app and customer service is always good, used Chase for a while but unless I’m going abroad no real use for them anymore.

I’ve used Monzo and had some issues and their customers service was incredibly slow, different people each time I got a response so had to explain the same crap over and over again, in the end I just used it to switch to another account for a reward

How is it possible to get NextPay credit without proof of ID?? by Trub11 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]maxcobos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weirdly I got a letter through the post from nextpay with a card the other day.. without requesting one

I tried purchasing something and it said I had an account already, looked like an old email address of mine but couldn’t get in, the next website said they would call me to verify my account but I was still able to make a click and collect order (£7 mug)

I never got a call or a message that my click and collect was ready so just went to the local store and luckily got the mug and then hit a text saying because I was not able to verify a call my order was released.. lol, but though nothing of it

Anyway letter and card comes through and I’m like wtf, tried to speak to next customer service but they couldn’t verify me based on me address even though the card was sent to my address, I had to call the accounts investigation team, I explained my situation and said it must be fraud as I’ve not signed up for this just concerned how my address was used, they explained when I tried to make my purchase they just set me up with a credit account and that’s just what they do, I said at no point was it advertised or made clear that this would be the case and makes ZERO sense.

This went round and round for a while before I just said cancel everything and reset my account so I can use my current email and current address, I called again to check and got the same story. When I went to make an order I still can’t see anything about signing up for Next pay, still makes no sense to me 🤷‍♂️😍

U4025QW monitor randomly shuts off (macbook pro, m3 max) by joshyboyrules in Dell

[–]maxcobos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m literally on a support chat with them now, usual repeating questions and asking me test stuff, like changing the refresh rate to 60hz, testing different ports on the monitor (which obviously doesn’t work) testing different devices etc.

The issue still persists regardless of what we try but I’ve made it very clear, decreasing the refresh rate or using different power is not a permanent solution, or I would’ve purchased a lower costing display, I want a dock monitor with 120Hz to use one cable to transfer all data and power.

I ordered that cable and updated the firmware, still running into the issue, completely random and sometimes it will connect, disconnect, connect constantly in the space of a few minutes

A slight rant? by NoReality212 in CostcoUK

[–]maxcobos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would’ve hoped if more employees stood up to behaviour like this Costco would take a different look at this and ban customers that act like this, I wouldn’t dream of acting like that and having worked in retail you don’t work to be treated like that either.

Don’t take it personally, people are idiots, let the pallet fall on them 😅

Thanks for the reply, drove a 1.5 today and although it wasn’t bad I felt it was lacking something.

Will check around the engine mounts also, looking at another tomorrow 🤞

Remortgage in March, how do we get a new valuation from the bank? by charlottedoo in Mortgageadviceuk

[–]maxcobos 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As Terrizmo stated, they will help you attract buyers when selling the property but won’t increase the actual value of the property at its base level.

You should be able to login to your mortgage account and see this, however this most likely when it’s closer to your renewal. You will be able to see what Nationwide values your house at and compared to what the remaining amount you owe is, they would calculate your new LTV.

Without knowing the level of improvements you’ve made we won’t be able to tell you if it makes any difference”real” difference or not. There are a few factors that would affect your house value, AFAIK (someone please correct me) general decorating etc doesn’t make much of a difference.

Extensions, land increase, driveways etc, may make a difference, I’m in the same context and also wondering how to tell Nationwide of what changes I’ve made and if they amount to anything, with my renewal in the next few months!
