Last year 2019 I closed down my account because they would not even apologise for bad deliveries then sending me a parrot cage that was supposed to be new with a twisted bar and perch soiled. I insisted for this. This year because I have been using ring.com everywhere on my property I decided to get 2 dot alexa and a screen also alexa. I listened music on all. Because of this I then decided to reropen the account, to my astonishment it was not closed so was able to use it for one week, then they closed it. Of course I moan and decided after their ccustomer services argued that was it, no more So I blocked the amazon.com on my server. I then received 3 phone calls that said nothing but played the music I was playing on alexa the day before, and then emails that came from amazon: nobody@bounce.amazon.com!
Sorry dear, amazon, who do you think you are, yes I have blocked YOU from my server because I have judged you as a security risk since your staff listening to what people do via alexa!
I personally think the authorities need to close you down or at least investigate all those breach of privacy.
Amazon, you are just a supplier, dear, nothing else. Instead of fighting people in the EU why don't you pay your taxes?

As I was driving to Sainsbury's in Chelmsford, at the round about a van was pushing me, he then followed me in Ssinsbury's car park where he was filming me and threatening me. Unfortunaty I was taken by surprise and reacted badly as I should have stay in my car to dial 999. As he/they were leaving, since they seem to have followed me there, I screamed at them I knew them, and they sped up, I just managed to catch the side of their van as they were driving away.

Called Swale Heating to enquiry about replacing my gas Vaillant combi with an electric one. The sales man came and lied to me telling me my fuses box would not support an electric one. He then sold me a worcester gas combi. This replacement cost me more than 3000, in the quote they were supposed to replace the condensing pipe, check the radiators, flush the system and so on. BUT they came bringing an electrician, did not wear any PPE nor mask, put in a third electrical socket in a small cupboard, one wonders why, did not checked the radiators and charged me for a nest thermostat which is frankly not a thermostat. They refused to reimbursed the money as they did not do the job as stipulated. My radiators are now very noisy and had to call another engineer from another recommended company to finish the job they did not do right. Advice to anybody do not use swale heating, all what they are about is money especially when from an old aged pensioner!

He started well and I kept my promise in paying the full amount plus as he asked for more. but he was supposed to come back to create channels for the water to drain, he did not and further more when I asked him his wife called me threatening me, telling me that she will make sure nobody would ever work for me. But mistake dear, I actually pay well, on time and builders love working on my property because they know they do get pay well and on time! so here you are dear, the only people who have listened to you dear are the guttering exactly what I thought, gutters!

Paid more than 4000 for back area of the property to be tiled. It looked very nice and I thought it would be ok, I am no Diy type person, each time I have to hang a picture I have to call somebody. It rained and disaster, water came flowing in. Called various builders who told me the damp level has been covered and probably the bricks hit low as there were few holes I had to block. There are no other way but have it all removed, dig down below the damp level and start again! A real let down. Hopefully it will be sorted out soon.

I have lots of jobs to do and he was going to do it all.
Started by tiling a small room, I purchased the terracota tiles, the grout and the adhesive and he visited 4 days before to inspect what I bought to make sure he would be able to work with those, he said it was all ok.
Came the day, he was late, spent around 1 hour before disappearing, came back then excused himself not re appearing before late evening.
Not tiled up to the walls and his excuses are I might want the walls to be tiled!
There are sticky and cloud white grout everywhere including outside the small room.

Ordered a conservatory, very nice sales lady who disappeared after me paying a deposit. They cancelled twice, then refused to refund me. Managed to get my money back thanks to a solicitor who prepared a letter, but they retained 1000 saying it was for the survey. So they got 1000 for nothing! Found they have another conservatory company called Softview Gavin Mills that is in liquidation!

Was book to redo the bathroom (plastering, tiling, shower, sink, toilets) in December 2020. Price 5000 was supposed to be for all plastering, tiling, shower, sink, toilets but I had to buy the tiles, the sink, the tap, pay the plasterer, a tiler and the painter! So the only things the 5000 was for were the shower, the toilets and the installation. As it is he refused to give me the receipts, though he was paid, and most of the plumbing has to be redone as the toilets system not working properly, water escaping from taps.

Made 2 pergolas same size. Built half of it ending up in my conifers edges, pointed out to them this could not be. Not happy about a woman telling them, rude. Did not anchor feet into the existing concrete. Roofs had to be redone. At the time he was and still advertised, he had no insurance, and the postal address is not right, cannot find his company in company check.

Sent a request via checkatrade to db building services, following which appointment was made via mobile. 2 guys came at my door claiming to be working for DP building services. They asked me money and started putting things in my bathroom I did not asked but then was asked to pay for, there was a brown kitchen unit there. When I told them they started to blackmail me and I reported them but nothing ever happened. They scam me for over 3000! And never been punished for it. I had witnesses who said they been seen working for large site for dp building services but G Delaney denies they ever worked for him!

Done a bad job cladding which then had to be rectified by another company. They also replaced for colour purposes the gutters back and front but as soon as it rain the 2 gutters drop. When they were asked to fix he came, looked up, looked at me and said: 'Oh Pat, don't let me look I suffer from vertigo, ask somebody else to fix', but he had to fix then venge himself using his colleague I cannot name for legal reasons, to come down charging me deposit and material then never come back, Ah Nigel I have reviewed your ways.

Came to redo my kitchen. Brought down the wall plaster for no reason, created a big hole in the kitchen for no reason, removed with axe my kitchen door. Hooked a 32amp hob to a 12amp circuit using a kettle lead he stuffed at the bottom of a smeg oven, so each time I switched on something the whole fuses would collapse. He then decided to build a gazebo in my side garden I had to pay people to remove as it moved with the wind.

Services is ok until May few months before renewal, it then becomes impossible to do anything on the internet and that includes email. So I complained and they did not like it, they asked to come down to check the equipment outside and it was faulty so they changed it. I then noticed they took money from my debit card without informing me nor asking me permission, they were not to pleased for me to tell them off. Parted with them, good ridance!
