I bought a tv from gumtree for £650 2 months ago.

The tv in question is an optica 42 inch led 3d smart tv.

 

The tv worked for 2 months which is in my daughters room who is (8).

 

Suddenly we were greeted in the morning with the message

"tv locked please contact customet services on ......."

 

I didnt know what to do other than call the number to be greeted by a nice lady on the phone.

 

Once I explained everything to her she put me on hold and assured me it would be rectified...

..after a short moment I was then speaking to a manager who was abrupt and down right disrespectful.

 

He demanded the tv back and threatened me with the police.

 

I didnt know what else to do other and rebel and deny him the tv.

I dont know whether it was right or wrong?

 

He threatened me that the tv sets have a gps chip installed and it would be located

and that "people" will be at my address to take it off of me!

 

I would be happy to give the tv back so long as bayv were to refund some of the money back I paid for it as the tv is rendered useless to me anyways.

I have someone wanting to take it from me for parts which im happy to do but I dont want to be breaking the law.

 

Need help and advice badly and any given is appreciated.

firstly

 

lets reassure you,

there is no way ANY Bayv staff can turn up, enter & and take the TV

 

they ARE NOT BAILIFFS.

they have NO LEGAL POWERS WHATSOEVER

 

the bottom line here is they WILL have to goto court to get it back.

 

......

 

however...

 

how did you pay for it?

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Heya thankyou for your reply. Should I contact the police if someone does appear? I paid for the tv in cash.

 

I have contacted the police to let them know what happened. I explained to them that the person we got it from delivered it to us and we didnt know who they were other than their first name. The phone number they provided is no longer in use.

 

I seen bayv are selling the tv cash price for £1500 and even if they said "yes thankyou for contacting us, we will be happy to give you £200 to give us the tv back" then I would otherwise I see them losing it......

you are happy to buy a TV for £650, then sell it for £200?

 

much as I dislike BAYV, you should return the TV to them along with a police investigation into who purchased the TV, why it was sold to you for £650 etc etc. Gumtree will have server logs to assist in police investigation.

 

Hopefully, you will get your £650 back, BAYV will get their TV back and happy days all around.... apart from the gumtree seller... maybe!

If I've given you advice, then it is just my thoughts / opinions - doesn't mean I am right!

Technically the item is stolen property, also you now know this fact, if you sell the TV you may face action from the Police... here is s spanner in the works, why not ask bavy if they will accept a payment to release the TV to you? If not you really have just got a huge paper weight .....

Surely the OP will have the sellers home address? That way they can easily track down the seller with the police and issue court action if necessary. BAYV will be reluctant to help. All they want is the tv back.

Gotcha. So its the old con trick. In any case, there should be an identifier on the tv so the original seller can be traced.
