Halfords won't change bulbs on some cars as they know it's a big or difficult job. Our scenic requires major arm trauma to get the passenger bulb replaced.

Taking the headlight out is only a couple of screws on all Focus models . . . . much easier

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Barstewarding credit card companies deciding to issue a statement whenever they feel like it. "Oh your payment was made on the same day we printed our statement so it doesn't count, despite the fact you payed in 100x the minimum payment, so here is a Late Payment Charge"
Well can you please make the bill the same day every month so I know wtf to expect? "No, it's between bla and bla. Good luck with that" F***ers |

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
they cant change your payment date unless notifying you first or it falls on a weekend. send them a letter and charge them for that letter. also state on the letter that if they don't comply with your request within 14 days you will start proceedings via the small claims court and if you win they will be responsible for all court charges. send the letter via registered mail and keep the details of the date sent and receipt.
if you dont hear from them then within the 14 days then start court proceedings. dont mess about. small claims court judges frown upon credit companies taking up court time. https://www.scotcourts.gov.uk/taking...n/small-claims |

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
They said they would refund the late payment charge as a goodwill gesture since I payed on the same day, but in future I should save my payments until a statement has been issued. It's such a backwards way of doing things. Why can't it just be from the start to the end of each month? It's particularly frustrating because I always pay WAY more than I need to, to get it payed off asap.
