Quest

I submitted a detailed complaint supported by documentary evidence alleging breaches of the SRA Principles and Code of Conduct. Rather than investigating the regulatory issues, the SRA largely characterised them as matters for the civil courts.

My complaint concerned the conduct of a regulated firm, not the merits of the underlying dispute. Yet the regulator appeared more willing to defer to the firm's explanations than to scrutinise whether the standards expected of solicitors had been met.

The SRA exists to uphold public confidence in the profession. Based on my experience, its intervention threshold is so high that consumers should have little expectation of meaningful regulatory action, even where credible evidence is presented.

A regulator that is reluctant to regulate risks becoming little more than an observer.

Engaged a roofer through the website who had 5 star reviews, quoted us £7600 for new roof. Took payment of £3800 for scaffolding and materials. Stopped work after 2 hours on opening roof and demanded £8000+ to replace rafters. Which 3 other roofers said wasn't necessary. The second roofer also with 5 Star reviews took 12 days to complete a 3 day job and claimed to be a convicted criminal who had served a long sentence. Demanded payment without completing job.

I am writing this review to warn other trade professionals about my experience with Clegg Gifford. I took out a trade policy for my tow truck company, and the policy cost me approximately £8,000. I specifically registered the value of the tow truck at £8,000 as part of the policy.

Just six months into the policy, my tow truck was written off due to a tyre blowout on the motorway. I made a claim, expecting to be compensated for the value I had insured the vehicle for. To my shock and dismay, Clegg Gifford offered me only £2,000 for the truck and stated that the premium I had paid for the policy would not be refunded.

This is not what I would expect from a trade policy. I paid a significant amount to have my asset protected, and when I needed it most, the company failed to deliver. The offer of £2,000 is a severe undervaluation of my vehicle and a complete waste of the £8,000 I paid.

I am extremely disappointed with the handling of this claim and the lack of fair compensation. This experience has been a costly lesson, and I would urge anyone considering a policy with this company to be extremely cautious.

Another dodgy debt collection agency, threatening the poor and venerable with court action.
Failed to carry out due diligence when sending out threats via post and phone. No direct email. Unable to make complaint.

Purchased a flat roof skylight for about £400
Developed an internal crack within the first 4 months.
Refused to honour "20 year warranty".

Increasing using Farmfoods instead of other supermarkets. Generally cheaper prices, and they've got a good halal food section, and discount scheme.

Lock you in with cheap prices, but they can increase price by up to 10% without you having the option to cancel.
Their terms and conditions are as long as your arm.
Booked a flight through their website, but they could not honour the fare quoted. They came back to me with and additional charge of £20 without the ability to cancel ticket. Even though the tickets were available elsewhere £26 cheaper.
Travelup Response: PR exercise sent them three emails including a complaint. Ignored all of them.!

Wow. Didn't realise how bad this bank is.
Been with bank for a while where do I start.
Staff can't speak English (For Overseas Customers), Lake City Branch made sexiest comments, taken money from your account without authorisation for dubious "charges". No Complaints process. I'm dealing with my 4th incompetent RN

Cheap products terrible app and website. Very difficult to speak with customer services or return item.
Would not recommend

I've been a loyal Samsung customer for years because I love their products. However, my recent experience with Samsung UK's customer support has been extremely disappointing.
I’ve been trying to register a warranty claim for the past two days, and it's been a nightmare. Despite multiple video calls and tests with their Filipino support center, they are refusing to process my repair request. It feels like I’m being given the runaround with no resolution in sight.
Samsung, please improve your customer support. Great products deserve equally great customer service.

Sent out repeat prescription without consent or prior warning. Charged my debit card without permission.
Refused to refund money even though prescription was no longer required.

Concerned about the practices of GBG Limited. They share private mobile phone numbers and with debt recovery company without consent. This breach of privacy causes significant distress.
In today's digital age, privacy is more important than ever. Companies that exploit personal data to target vulnerable individuals are undermining trust and causing harm. It's crucial for companies to respect privacy and handle personal information responsibly. I urge others to be cautious when dealing with this company.

I recently used Shuttle Direct for a transfer from Antalya Airport to Side, and overall, I was very happy with the service. The booking process was straightforward, and the driver was friendly and professional. The vehicle was comfortable and well-maintained, which made the journey enjoyable.

The only downside was a delay in leaving the airport waiting for other passengers. We had to wait longer than expected for the shuttle to depart, which was a bit frustrating after a long flight. However, once we were on the way, everything went smoothly, and we arrived at our destination safely.

Despite the delay, I would still recommend Shuttle Direct for airport transfers. I’ll definitely consider using them again for future trips.

Refused to provide email contact details, or to lodge a formal complaint. Failed to carry out due diligence when sending out threats via post.

Reply Response.
Looks like you haven't read the review. I've already contacted you ha you've refused to provide an email address or lodge a complaint.

Once again should have read Trust Pilot reviews before dealing with this company.
I agree with the negative reviews. Absolutely corrupt organisation. Issued four tickets in a week by Private Parking Solutions one was for a moving vehicle.
Got a copy and paste response for all four appeals by issuer after appeal. Appealed to Popla. Took them three months to do exactly the same thing. As for being "independent" what a joke, their actually funded by the companies that issue tickets.

Agree with other negative reviews.
Impossible to get a background check verification with this company. Ended up cancelling application.
