A question about : Can we suggest campaigns?

Because, if so, I would like to suggest that there is a campaign to end the booking fee charged by venues - because it's applied to each ticket bought, so 4 tickets = 4 x booking fee!

  • Hi Valli
    The answer to your question is DEFINITELY!
    However, that doesn't mean we can guarantee it's something we'll be able to fight for on your behalf, as there are lots of things we could campaign for but we've only so many pairs of hands.
    What I can guarantee is that all new suggestions by Forumites on this board will be read. Then, if I get the chance I'll pass on your views to the relevant regulator, government department or charity.
    Thanks for your suggestion and keep them coming

  • How about a campaign to have the power companies credit your account with the money they owe you (after transferring to another supplier) within 2 weeks. I just moved from scottish power to EDF and they are telling me it may take up to 6 weeks to return the several hundred pounds i am in credit with them. Its 2013 not 1977 with the systems available today it should not take more than a couple of weeks. Clearly they want to keep hold of the money as long as possible to help their cashflow, their should be a maximum set timescale for this dodgy practice.
  • How about an end to second home ownership?
  • campaign that directory enquires services should tell you the cost of call when they are so helpful and offer to connect you.
    My mother used 118 (yellow number), the nice person offered to connect her, my mum said yes - phone bill came Ј10.16 for a 3min 52sec call. To me that is unbelievable.
  • I would love a campaign to stop or at least vastly reduce all the gambling adverts on the sports channels. I just cannot believe how many there are!
  • It's not just on the Sports Channels - They're all over the place.
  • How abouit a "stay safe at Christmas campaign" I (very recently) had my drink spiked whilst out at a Christmas do and would like to make sure that no-one has to go through that. It's horrendous and very frightening.
  • I'd like a campaign about neighbouring hedges and trees. I looked on the Council website and its the person affected by the trees that has to "stump up" excuse the pun ... all the cash to take the neighbour to task! Even then you might not win so are stuck with 60ft trees and and empty pocket
  • How about a campaign on mis-selling of payday loans? Personally I don't need one, but I have had to closely read personal loans for car purchases as these parasites have been trying to pass themselves off as regular loans.
    Also I'm getting the odd spam text and email advertising this junk, it seems they've taken over from PPI claims chasers and viagra in the spam stakes.
  • Or a campaign to stop the same old sofa and bed sale adverts that keep ringing in my ear.
  • Could we have a campaign to improve soundproofing in properties?
    If not that, a campaign against inconsiderate neighbours.
  • Dear MSE Wendy
    I just suggested to the mods over in Credit File and Ratings Forum this evening that we move the UK Credit Reference Agencies Unfit For Purpose and must be reformed thread from there to here and offer it up as a campaign. Will you give it a look please?
