The sell on charge made by retirement home companies
B12 deficiency being ignored as a chronic diseaseT
Hello MarcieCB, I’m sorry to hear this. We do look at issues that affect consumers with certain conditions from a consumer led angle – so we’d be keen to hear more about any ideas that you would like to write about along these lines. Writing specifically about the condition is not necessarily Which?’s domain, but we do wish you all the best with your campaign and would be happy to chat more about any other ideas you have either here on Which? conversation or by emailing us at conversation.comments@which.co.uk

Hi Jon
Thank you for sharing your idea, we really liked it and decided to pick up on the issue in our recent convo on the rise of food waste. You can find it here: https://conversation.which.co.uk/food-drink/food-waste-on-rise/#
Thanks
Two years ago I purchased my first Lithium rechargeable tool. Several times the instructions stressed keeping the battery on charge when the tool was not in use. Power surges have meant a blown charger on two occasions. The authorised repairer/re-supplier of chargers now tell me I shouldn’t be keeping it on charge 24/7. This will re-occur as there is no fuse as with an ordinary plug. What to do?

How Often Should I Replace My Running Shoes?
As far as I can tell, these figures have come from the manufacturers’ tests: I was wondering whether Which? or any other independent body has verified them? It’s a good idea to go running in shoes that are in good condition and so are comfortable and reduce the risk of injury are of course a good idea. But running shoes are also expensive, and a 300-500 mile lifespan would mean that a lot of leisure runners ‘should’ be replacing them twice a year or more.

Vodafone charge rates for dialling UK to EU ( Ireland)
We should legislate against rip off charges. With the EU rules I started using my phone while in the EU, but didn’t know it was now more dangerous to use your phone in the UK.
Campaign to enable fair purchase of tickets ahead of ticket agencies at inflated prices
I go to an number of live sporting and music events and unfortunately every time i try and apply for tickets when they go on sale i am never able to purchase a ticket and they sell out in minutes. However within minutes after the event is sold out they are thousands of tickets available on secondary websites such as viagogo etc.
Now the annoying thing is that they are then 2 or 3 times the price for the same tickets that have just sold out.
This feels like a cartel and just a ploy to extract more value out of consumers and i feel that Which would be ideal placed to tackle this as it is not just sporting events but across all events and i know my frsutration is shared by everyone i know.
Would this be possible or do Which have a campaign going at he moment to address this ticket scam.
Regards

An interesting area that could save women en masse millions per year in cash. And potentially healthier.

Auto Renewal – Definitely Not!
My proposal is for companies to not automatically enrol people into this fraudulent scam without asking permission first. The default should be ‘opted out’ rather than this hidden, un-asked, automatic theft. People should receive a new quote, with last years payment made clear for comparison, before being asked if payment can be taken. What a mass scam this has become!

Why hasn’t Which investigated PayPal
Credit Report missleads with information when it comes to Business application
I would suggest that either you totally separate Business from Personal or you totally merge them.
Thank you
