Sanyo PLC-SU20 A Good All-Rounder

Advantages: Very Robust, Well Constructed, Will Last A Lifetime!
Disadvantages: No lamp counter

...sanyo projector model's name will begin with PLC this is then followed (usually) by either SU or XU (these two are the most common). There will usually be and SU and an XU fo every model, for example a PLC-SU20 and a PLC-XU20. These will both fundamentally be the same, but the XU20 would be slightly better specification and therefore slightly more expensive. The XU models tend to be more desirable and achieve higher prices when it comes to resale, however, many models are no different to one another specification wise, so you may as well save abit of money and just buy the SU model. Sanyos ranges then go upin 10's accordingly. So the earliest are the SU10's, thenthere is the SU20's, SU30's and so on. You can then have a PLC-SU20, a PLC-SU21, a PLC-SU22 etc. with slightly different specifications. But the important thing you need to know is...

Leisuredays - Royal and Sun Alliance Insurance plc broker

Advantages: Very easy to apply, friendly and efficient staff
Disadvantages: None so far

...This company specialises in insurance for static caravans, lodges and chalets and caravan holiday insurance cover from Royal and Sun Alliance Insurance plc. The company provides extensive cover for all sorts of holiday homes and personal needs. I first heard of this company when the insurance on my caravan was due for renewal. When I first purchased my caravan, the site owners had recommended a company and we had taken out insurance with them the previous year for £213.96. This company had sent us a renewal quote of £254.16. At the same time I had a letter from the caravan park telling us of Leisuredays. Before I could do anything I was contacted by Leisuredays to tell me about the services they could offer and gave me a quote of £134.75. Obviously a lot cheaper! They then sent me a brochure outlining all that we had...

Direct Line Insurance plc

Advantages: Cheapest quote
Disadvantages: Didn't cover contents of car, rude operators who don't know what's happening, slow at processing claims

...When I got my provisional driving licence, I was insured as a second driver on my car, with my dad as the main driver. Having passed my test in September, I took out my own insurance policy,and, predictably, the premium doubled. The cheapest quote I could find was with Direct Line plc. However, this month, whilst at University, my car was stolen, and found burnt out. It has been a fight to get a settlement, and they provide no update as to the status of the claim. Each time I rang them, I was passed from pillar to post, and eventually, I asked to speak to a supervisor. Far from sorting out my claim, she was rude, unhelpful, and confused matters further. Finally, almost a month after my car was recovered, I have been sent a letter with a settlement. I decided that I wished to dispute the settlement, and had to send them adverts...

Mortgages, Mortgages & Mortgages

Advantages: Not many unless you like parting with ££££
Disadvantages: Loads of errors, poor communication

...We have just terminated our Mortgage with Mortgages Plc at the end of our one year fixed deal. We had to go down the route of self certification as my partner had a job which paid heavily on commission, making it difficult for a high street lender to give us anything more than 65% loan to value. We went through a broker and he came up with a deal through Advantage Home Loans, a sub company of Mortgages PLC. The deal itself was OK, we had expected a higher rate for self cert candidates, it tied us in for 1 year. We thought the quote was good enough to continue with and we propmptly found a place and put an offer in, we got a quote again for the amouts we would be paying per month from Mortgages Plc, the quote seemed fine, we could afford it and it set out their charges which they informed us could be added to our final loan amount...

  Not a PLC and little TLC either

Advantages: A long-established major Building Society
Disadvantages: Not the best rates of interest and customer service is not first rate.

...Six years ago I found myself with some money to invest and I looked around for a good home for it. At that time it was generally the mutuals ? the Building Societies that had not yet converted to PLC status ? who were providing the most consistent returns, whilst those that had converted seemed to offer accounts that looked good for a while, but the rate of interest they were offering quickly fell. I won?t confess to being a carpetbagger ? someone who invests in a Building Society in the hope of getting a windfall when the Society converts to PLC status ? but the possibility that this might happen is something that I?ve always kept in mind when I?ve made investments. It doesn?t drive the investment, but in a situation where a mutual and a non-mutual have otherwise been equal I?ve always gone for the mutual. The rate of interest...

Peak performance from Pinnacle

Advantages: Excellent customer services, they phone you, they listen to you
Disadvantages: None that I have come across

...insurance. We pay life insurance in case we die in debt. Who collects it? The poor sod that has paid it, hardly! I could go on but I won’t, as this is a positive review about an excellent company that I had to deal with recently. The name of that company is Pinnacle Insurance PLC. Initially I had no idea that I would be dealing with them but I shall explain that matter as this tale unfolds. As some of you will be aware earlier this year I was unable to work for three months due to a serious incapacity. At the point when I realised that I would not be returning to work as quickly as I had envisaged I remembered that I had some payment protection insurance on the finance that I had taken out to pay for my computer. My original intent was to pay after the 9 months interest free period but I foolishly spent the money. I dug...

Their Direct Line Was To Bully Me To Submission

Advantages: Good if your training for hostage situations
Disadvantages: I was treat like low life scum in my own home.

...rather large and very intimidating man turned up on my doorstep, I mean this guy looked like one of those big dodgy bouncers outside seedy nightclubs you would not want to meet him alone down a dark alley. He was apparently sent out by and on behalf of Direct Line PLC; he explained he was a consultant and that he was to go over some abnormalities in my claim. Ok I thought fair enough I mean my financial position was bad at the time this may have raised a few eyebrows of suspicion I could see it from their point of view and half expected to be asked a few hairy questions. So he sat down in my front room and out came a Dictaphone, oh here we go I thought I could see where this was going and prepared myself for a grilling. However nothing could prepare me for the sheer arrogance of this horrible obnoxious man, I mean he was asking some real...

I Work For Safeway - Get Me Out Of Here

Advantages: None whatsoever
Disadvantages: See opinion

...the problems. If I thought that things were going to be as easy as this, well I was going to be in for a big shock. It is ironic that all the major problems have really started in the past year and a half. Ok, yes, there have been little niggles that have irritated me, but that’s part and parcel of every job, isn’t it? The next part of this opinion is split into categories. These are: 1). Me and Store Management 2). Me and Store Staff 3). My Opinion on Safeway plc 1). Me and Store Management In the 5+ years I’ve worked for Safeway, I’ve had 4 Store Managers. To be honest, the first 3 were brilliant, really hard grafters and they took an interest in their store, their customers and their staff. However, the Manager we have at the moment is an absolute nightmare. He has made it perfectly clear that...
