Instead of complaining to Hermes I always go straight to the retail to complain you seem to get a better response. The last time I complained about them was to the retail and I got a £10 Voucher.

@SteelA1 massive sympathy. My Father’s business almost went through when I was a child due to a non payer.
Scum

I’m seething so we was due this money yesterday which daint arrive, hubs phone’s dole who say there’s no fekin record of it on their computer n there’s nowt they’re gonna do, WTF? If you don’t receive the money within 5 days of getting the letter get in touch, we wait 6 days to be telt that there’s no record of it on their computer, but we’ve had two duplicate letters stating the fact it’ll be in account n to call if it ain’t after 5 day’s.
Then the bloke gives another number to call and after about 2 hours on hold between both numbers n speaking to an 18 year old back n forth then a tool on the number the the poor 18 year old was gave to call saying they’d be able to help was a different line all together ffs so we give up they can shove their money where the sun dow shine

To make it worse he got himself sectioned rather than pay. I have every sympathy when it comes to mental health but he was in 10 days then made a miraculous recovery.

I don’t know which drug(s) you’re reliant on, but it’s possible this may be a significant factor in your loss of sex drive. Long-term use of opiates, for example, can suppress libido, but so can many other drugs.

They are diazepam and tamazepam, Dr thought it’d be a good idea to put me on them when I was 18 for anxiety, now they’re not dishing them out so frequently as they used to now thankfully, shame I warnt born 10 years later 
It could be the long-term use of them though, I’d not thought about that before but it could well be the pills, cheers for the heads up. I’m thinking about speaking to the dr about it as I want to get pregnant n it ay gonna happen at this rate 
Think I’ll try investing in some new toys, lingerie, erotica n porn first though xx

Diazepam can definitely have that effect, I have that too. Though i have no idea why they prescribed it so much, it’s now kinda used more like a last resort/as something on top of different regular medication

How long were you on them before they had an impact? Cos for the first 7 years my sex-drive was still through the roof then me confidence was lost n now it’s been back for awhile but my drives not at all which is gutting, I feel so guilty for it as hubs is convinced it’s cos he’s put weight on but by no means is that the case, I fancy him more than the day we met n love him more each day. I wish he knew that though, problem is he’s lost his confidence since putting the weight on

It was after a few years on them that they had the effect on me too, they seem to have a delayed affect on sex drive

@MsSubExperimenter Hermes have been okay where we live now but when I lived with my parents we just didn’t order from anyone who used them in the end because never once managed to deliver a package! You could get a phone number sent to Hermes from people we ordered from but they NEVER passed it on to the individual drivers and it seemed without a phone contact none of them could find my parent’s house.
Thankfully Lovehoney always used Royal Mail and no problems there

As for Hermes they’re abysmal around here too or they used to be they’ve actually improved now if you’re in or if it’s hubs uncle doing the delivery, if you’re out ya screwed they’ll leave it on the front step or some put parcels in the bin WTF is that about? If they deliver at all that is, only problems these days is when nobody is home so we tend to always make sure one of us is home when expecting Hermes deliveries!

Thanks to everyone who commented! Had a friends Mrs who works for a solicitors send a letter to said client via recorded delivery stating the obvious and how they’d be liable to incur additional costs blah blah blah! Had an email from the client about 30 mins ago saying there must of been some crossed wires somewhere as they had no intention of not paying and that payment will be in my account by 7pm today 
I’ll be checking my bank at 7 but I’m so made up I’ve payed everyone else who did work there so to get the all of it back will be a seriously good feeling as it’s all mine

@Mrs.John that’s awful! Fancy doing something like that just to get out of paying! It’s enough to force the tradesmen into depression and end up being sectioned! I know a few people who’s been in business a long long time and have gone under from 1 none payer! People don’t understand the impact and just how many peoples lives it can effect!
