they might do that. But one would have thought that they would have defended the action in the first instance, on that basis?

They didn't respond so, as things stand, I'm expectimg to get notification of a judgement (presumably by default?) in the next couple of days. Suprised?

Today was actually a critical date, so I need to check with the court on Monday.

I sought advice form OFT/ Consumer direct and they appeared to think that the debiting of the account for £120 was significant...it was on the basis of their advice that I lodged a claim. History may prove you to be right, of course!

Yes, that reflects Littlewoods terms and conditions. But the account was debited for £120 when the order was taken and this (in my view) represents when the contract was established. I'm taking it to County Court, arguing that they are in breach of contract, and am claiming compensation for loss of bargain

Hi everyone. I'm new and this is my first post, so I hope it's in the right place. I purchase goods from the Littlewoods catalogue/website quite frequently. I recently spotted a lounge suite for £120. Long story short, it was a mistake (should have been around £1000) but they agreed to supply it for the advertised price. A few days later, I phoned to check delivery date, and a different individual then said that they would o longer supply for the price agreed. I asked him to listen to the tapes of the phone conversations which he did. He then phoned again to say that, regardless of what had been agreed previously, they still would not honour the £120 price. I've written to the Chief Executive who has not replied. I've also requested transcripts of the conversations, but have not received them Are they in breach of contract and, if so, what are my options? I'm sorely tempted to cancel all further payments on my outstanding balance.
