Advantages: Easy access to data, fair prices, forum insight

ADVFN lousy cancellation policy
Review of advfn.com by rgmrgm

Advantages: Proved themselves to care for nothing but the money
Disadvantages: So many

I would absolutely not recommend ADVFN. When you join they put you on a rolling contract and give you no reminder whatsoever that they are taking your subscription out of your account when 12 months has elapsed and your subscription is due again. You ar ... Read review

Very poor customer service
Review of The Economist by nagarjuns

Advantages: Content
Disadvantages: Very poor customer service

The magazine content is great. However I've had problems with the customer service support since the start. I signed up under an offer where a free gift (a handbag) was to be sent to me within 6-8 weeks. When no handbag turned up I emailed the Singapore s ... Read review

Simply Fun to keep your finances in check!
Review of simplyfinance.co.uk by rsmith8881

Advantages: Free content and access to real financial experts
Disadvantages: Difficult to find the site on Bing

I came across the site when setting up my 2009 budget. Back then the site was more like the other comparison sites with some good content and easy to use product lookup services. Today, the site has become so much more with an awesome community that I plu ... Read review

Review of savingsfriend.co.uk by MaryMary101

Advantages: great advice
Disadvantages: not all products catered for

I came across www.SavingsFriend.co.uk because I wanted suggestions on how to find cheap train tickets. They suggested reducing my costs by buying a few single tickets to cover my long journey up to Scotland. It worked. I managed to save £20 which means a ... Read review

Super Friendly Personal Finance Site
Review of simplyfinance.co.uk by savingseb

Advantages: Free high quality personal finance content
Disadvantages: Needs more community members

I found the site to go above and beyond with its awesome Ask an Expert feature. Not only did I end up saving money on my life insurance and mortgage for my 2011 budget, I was able to ask questions for free to personal finance experts. They answered my que ... Read review

Saved my £390
Review of moneysupermarket.com by jozef35

Advantages: fast, lots of choice
Disadvantages: a little slow on my ipad and not 100% formatted correctly but works

good site, given the cold weather i switched my Gas and Lecky from Bgas to Eon. Saved £390, by choosing an online tarrif and paperless billing, now off to switch my broadband, cracking site. My bills have gone up by 15% year on year, i did not even know y ... Read review

Do NOT use the forum...
Review of moneysavingexpert.com by gtmanning

Advantages: Some nice people and good info in there
Disadvantages: A lot of very unwelcoming senior members and admins. A LOT of censorship.

This review is only regarding the forums. It should be considered by consumers wishing to join the forum of the website. Thank you. I joined the forums to make a review on some headphones that appeared overly cheap. I was just asking if people thought th ... Read review

Awesome content with access to expert personal finance advice
Review of simplyfinance.co.uk by footballdave

Advantages: Community, content, tools, calculators
Disadvantages: Need more members to join the community

From my point of view, the site makes it easy to find information while also making me aware of things that I have not considered. I've learned that when it comes to personal finance it is often what you don't know or haven't thought to ask that comes bac ... Read review

What do you read?
Review of The Economist by D_i_a_n_e

Advantages: keeps me informed, interesting topics
Disadvantages: high price tag

My GP recommended to visit the local swimming pool’s steam room to recover from my nasty cough so I went to the local Sainsbury’s to buy myself a bottle of water and I was tempted to bring something to read. I was wondering where the readable magazines ar ... Read review

Finally back :D xXx by Deesrev
My son loves picking up The New Scientist, while i'm a National Geographic fan. But although i've seen this mag in store, never tried it. Will be changing that now! Even although certain magazines have a costly price tag, but, like this one, there is so much varied and most interesting material, it proves worth the expence. Another superb review SC....Left a VH but an ‘E’ review. I’m currently a YEAR behind but I will save this to my favourites to remind me to come back and change the rating! : D x by Deesrev

I'm sorry to here your plight - Though the review says nothing about the site - I hope all is sorted soon by 1st2thebar
Ta for the info. You should write in more detail what you borrowed and the subsequent payments and charges plus info on the interest rate, payment terms etc and some of the small print relating to interest and charges. I'd like to know more about this company and Ciao is the perfect place to expose their goings on. Please write a more detailed pan of events. by LawrenceP

Review of The Economist by Turnnslide22

Advantages: Very readable take on the news
Disadvantages: Economist.com poor for breaking news

I came across The Economist nearly a decade ago in my uni days. It was my first year of my degree and a lecturer recommended it as a good quality publication. For the benefit of my studies, I thought I better give it a go. I am now a fully paid up weekly ... Read review

a short quick review
Review of Investors Chronicle by costas1234

Advantages: z
Disadvantages: z

What can I say here? I will keep this review short. Burning bridges never made me cry, a quote from Status Quo song. I bought the latest edition priced at £3,95p. The date it covered was the 21st May until the 27th May 2010. I see that this week's edit ... Read review
