Has anyone ever got a refund from Herbal Inns?

RieRie @RieRie (820) 2 Nov 09

Whose idea was it, that if someone couldn't afford something, they pay more?

RieRie @RieRie (820) 24 Aug 09

I've had a revised bill recently, stating that because I can't pay about £300 all at once, I'll be charged an extra £50. If I then couldn't pay that there would be more charges. Admin charges are sort of fair enough, but £50 is...
