At Argos you can preview/open any item before you buy it. No difference to seeing it on a shelf only you have staff/other customers on all sides watching you.

If the thread has not been closed, and is open to comments......Any reason why it is still open?

Am also having problems with partners Sky Broadband in West London near Heathrow. A speed test always returns 0.4 to 1.3MB max. Have done all the checks etc. Helpdesk unable to assist ("you are quite far from the exchange") Tried http://www.uswitch.com/broadband/speedtest and looked at Broadband Street Stats after the test. Most tests come from Virgin customers on 20mb+ lines with 20mb+ speeds. Have now planned to move to Virgin ASAP.

What a shambles. Buy printers more cheaply online from [edit] and use a local techie for servicing. Will save you £'s

Shocking - but i would have sent a recorded letter instead of spending all that time on the phone. Samsung must be having hard times. Their Head Office is in Chertsey, you could threaten to doorstep visit to their corporate HQ and do a leaflet drop to all workers as they enter the building. I threatened this on two occasions in last 10yrs (other companies) and it worked a treat.

This is why I never buy from Comet - every time I go in their Slough store there is a long line of people complaining at the service desk. Some assume it is like Argos where you can return goods on change of mind....but they don't do that, hence all the fun red faces, loud voices and cries of "I want to see a manager"

Gas leak - rebait or rent?
andyask replied to lynseylou's topic in Residential and Commercial lettings/Freehold issues
From what you say, you did not make any complaints between March 2012 and now, so it will be difficult to prove anything. If there had been a gas smell AND your bills were high, then as the tenant you should have reported it and insisted on a repair from the outset. As you sat on it, there is little to ask for other than an apology from the landlady and/or plumber. not reporting/persuing it was your decision and some may question your ability to safely manage a child's environment for 6 months knowing there was a leak and doing nothing about it. Landlords cannot guess when problems are present, they have to be reported swiftly. Alarm bells should have been ringing! -
Did you inform them of your details when you moved in? Ask them for copies of the bills they have sent. If no bill has been sent then that is an issue. Firstly pay the ground rent. Secondly ask the freeholder if the CCJ can be satisfied or indeed removed from your record whilst explaining that you did not receive the bill. Before a CCJ I would normally expect several letters to precede it with a warning about what could happen on non-payment. Consider taking your case to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal http://www.lease-advice.org/ Just the mention of the LVT in a letter may be enough for them to be more helpful. Worked for me

One option might be to get a solicitor to write a letter, (mine charges £75) and it could be the shock treatment he needs.

@knowhowtohelp Currys/PCWorld 28 day laptop repair
andyask replied to Trendkill97's topic in PCWorld
I reimaged a hdd last month. Took 15mins using Symantec Ghost to restore a .gho image file - full Windows 7 Pro.Drive took 5 mins to install. I would not expect PC World Techs to be restoring using DVDs - they would almost certainly have a networked based store of all image files for all models sold. -
Very good advice from slick132, but there is no harm in mentioning the consumer credit act - I bet the Admin backoffice people have no clue about recent changes and may still respond positively to its mentioning. If the letters are going to your old address, let it be, CCJ will be registered there and you could sit tight and hope they don't find you - just need to ensure you don't use that address for future credit refs.

Sounds like Argos have not advised Noddle (or their credit partner) of the satisfied debt. I would ask Argos to contact them. Bear in mind sometimes a credit report needs to be "refreshed" or repurchased to see the current status.

This is the 6 year limitation period: "a defect in a property, caused by a fault in design, materials or workmanship, that existed at the time construction was completed" Latent Damage Act, 1986. Thus you would need to prove a design fault at time of manufacture - very tricky, unless there was a design flaw that they admitted. Good example is the iPhone 4S with its antenna problem. Many cars have had design faults rectified with recalls many years after warranties expired. As for the washing machine, not a chance I am afraid.

I used to work for the Raleigh helpdesk in Nottingham when I was a student many , many years ago. (In those days you could smoke in offices!) Going straight to the manufactuer may help if they have a Helpdesk in this area of the world. Take pictures of the issue. I remember often we would send out parts to end users or ensure their claim reached the retailer.
