Long winded and inefficient

1
Having been advised in store to get a card and save on a major purchase, we waited for over two hours. They did give us a cup of tea and a piece of cake though. Once I had the card they failed to send me a statement which I was eager to receive and pay off. Having made a series of phone calls and been given conflicting information I was eventually allowed to pay the full amount and two days later I received the outstanding balance saying the full amount was due. More telephone calls, more incorrect information. Eventually everything was sorted but I don’t think I’ll be using the John Lewis card again, any time soon. Reviewed on: 7th November 2017

Car accident

I recently had a car accident, I was turning right when a young driver overtook me and crashed into my car. I am now informed that I am 30% to blame. Apparently as you are turning right, as well and noticing oncoming traffic and the road you are turning into, you need to be looking into your rear view mirror. As a driver of almost 50 years experience and with no previous claims, i know that this is impossible to do. I have only been blessed with one pair of eyes. However, my insurance company knows better. So, if you are reading this, beware, when actually in the process of turning right you need to be looking in three different directions at once. Also, the other driver immediately admitted liability both to me and to my insurance company. Doesn't matter. I am still 30% at fault. Reviewed on: 15th July 2017
