Complaining to Watchdog about freepay/gratis? EVERYONE READ!!

[Scottio200]

Hi

do you guys think it would be worth writing to watchdog about the waiting times for order processing to BBC's Watchdog. If enough of os do this im sure they will show it on TV, and who know's i may give gratis the kick up the arse they need, as im sure they wont want the bad press.

I have all ready filled in the online form, and i really think as many of you as possible should too as the more people who do it, the more chance this has of getting on tv and being investigated. They normally have representatives on the show from the companies, and they usually get results.

So come on, give em an e-mail

http://www.bbc.co.uk/consumer/tv_and...omputers.shtml

There is the site, i put the sub category as internet.

Let us know if you do send a complaint

Cheers
Scottio

Good things come to those who wait?
Gratis are bad, but no need for watch dog, and I certainly don't think they will be too interested.

Also, 9 posts and already complaining? Shame

And yes, I am aware I have 12 posts on this username, but I am not writing to watchdog about the length of time it takes to get my free gift.

Sunnymonkey, freepay make you wait rediculously long to receive gifts, so I dont blame him for complaining.

I'm not sure that would be wise, it could make getting referrals on other sites extremely difficult as they would be even less likely to believe that this method works to get freebies.

i agree although freepay do suck we dont want all freebie sites to be tarred with the same brush which is what a newbie is gonna do when they see it on watch dog or read about it when searching on the net

Its not the length of time it has taken, its the fact that people who have ordered after me have recieved theirs.

I was a member of the UKCongas forum, but that shut down so i decided to come here.

Been over a year to get to this stage from gratis, i think i have every right to complain.

Not like i can really post much in the other sections, im doing 1 freebee at a time, cant post a picture of my free nano cos i dont have it yet either.

If you included in your complaint that you have recieved other stuff for free from other sites they may include this, if it ever got onto tv.
