I cancelled my membership with them in 2007 as I was paying much more than the rates for new customers despite being with them for almost 3 decades. Their free home start is not as free as it implies, as soon as I questioned the price I was told it was because I had homestart. That was not something I had originally asked for and was added on by them as a 'free gift'.

It is the same with any service these days, New customers or customers asking to leave are usually given better prices.

I know several people who've stopped using them because of bad advice given when broken down. They rely heavily on their code readers and just pick the most common issue relating to that fault code.

They've told two of my customers that their cars needed new HP fuel pumps because of the low pressure P code reported.

Its a well known issue in the Pug community that the issue is usually down to a clogged filter on the tank pump, and it usually appears on cars over ten years old or has done over 150,000 miles (the "life" expectancy of the car).

A clean of the tank pump or a tank pump replacement was cheaper than the hundreds of pounds for a new High Pressure pump.

As I understand it. You want to take over a company. So you borrow a shedload. Then buy the company. Once they are part of your group you transfer the debt to the new company. So you've effectively just bought them with nearly all of their own money.

Then you asset strip them make everyone redundent and sail off into the sunset with your newly gotten gains. All of the consultants trouser lots of comissions and start looking for the next target.

Thats pretty much the Glaser/ Man Utd model isn't it?

Or something like that.

High Finance seems to have a special morality all of it's very own. Speaking as a wage slave that is...purely my perspective you understand.
