@GarminUK #garmin My wife made a Garmin return on January 09, following exactly their returns process, we have a UPS proof of drop off, and they have lost the watch. Garmin now refusing to give refund until they ‘investigate further’. We’re now out of pocket by £259.99. What?

[David P. Ingram @daveingram]

@LCAG_2019 Furthermore, those that ‘settled’ early were given a ‘discount’ on the sums demanded. How is a tax system that ‘negotiates’ like this fair in any way? Offering an incentive like that feels more like extortion than fair play, and it’s not how one expects a govt. body to act

More ridiculous waiting times for HMRC. Still not even managed to talk to a human yet!! Ridiculous mess that is today’s HMRC #HMRCReform

[David P. Ingram @daveingram]

@KarenFi46067687 That’s shocking. Horribly draconian. HMRC is in a mess #HMRCReform

[David P. Ingram @daveingram]

#HMRC this is a ridiculous amount of time to be on hold waiting for an agent. You need to start taking notice of your call centre KPIs and doing something about this terrible service!

[David P. Ingram @daveingram]

Anyone else feeling like we’re all proverbial boiling frogs re the absolute mess of and difficulty dealing with HMRC. Tax codes, IR35, impossibly complex tax system, ridiculous phone waiting times, Loan Charge, APNs, retrospective regulation, ignoring the actual law? #HMRCReform

Wow. You really nailed the chatbot support ⁦@VodafoneUK⁩. Not!

OUTRAGEOUS @south_railway !!! Guard EJECTED my wife & young child off the 21:05 Waterloo to Winchester train, AT NIGHT because they got on earlier train. Ticket price the same, but guard wanted to make a point. Wife and young child now standing on strange platform alone AT NIGHT

[David P. Ingram @daveingram]

They were escorted off the train, and left standing at night on a strange platform, no staff around, and electronic signage not working. Absolutely outrageous @SouthTrains #southwesterntrains

@winchester_boye Winchester Vodafone ALWAYS terrible. Practically unusable. Always. #vodafone

@coffeelabuk1 Stockbridge closed this morning “because of the football yesterday” the manager cheerfully cheerfully informed me as he sat there engrossed in his computer “there’s a sign in the window”. Stockbridge is losing that CL feeling. #notwhatitusedtobe!

[David P. Ingram @daveingram]

@hantshighways @hantsconnect Thanks. They looked home made :-) and I’m just too cynical :-) LOL

[David P. Ingram @daveingram]

@hantsconnect what’s with these fake parking restriction signs and cones at the top end of Stockbridge high street? Are they for real? Looks like house owners just making it up, and impeding other locals from parking. It’s an untidy mess? Are you going to crack down on it?

[David P. Ingram @daveingram]

@coffeelabuk1 Stockbridge Coffee Lab is going for heavy metal music since 08:00 today. Maybe someone’s ideal choice, but doesn’t ‘feel’ like the Coffee Lab we’ve come to love. And not sure why the aircon is set on freezing upstairs on such a rainy day. Not as pleasant as usual.

@realDonaldTrump You twat!

@RevolutApp customer service fail. In app chat doesn’t work. Sent message in Twitter. Told to use the in app chat. What happened to customer service?

[Pmanleytax @pmanleytax]

@GlobalTaxpayer1 @HMRCpressoffice Just checked and can confirm that at the time of the relevant section of part7a being introduced in 2010 (which the Morse review claims made the law 'clear') Heather was at HMRC. As were a number of contractors using loan schemes who stayed for years after also.
