As the store you have purchased it from has closed down, still think offer is a very good one.
After 3 months on old or returned stock (which is what these places sell anyway) think they will refuse cash refund and make you go through courts etc. I would!! Many people purchased Rover cars I did and it went wrong in first few months branch and even Company gone, many other companies have done the same and gone same way, so you can't use the excuse the open branch is to far away as a reason for refund, even think a court would laugh that one out. |

Keep us informed of your progress.
The return of the TV set to the other store may still be part of any refund offer from Credit Card company or it may just become their property. |

i dont mind handing the tv over to ever agent the credit card company appoints, its just the inconvenience of the location of the store, also there is an issue weather the other stores are due to close down especially in this current climate |

Did no-one read the "Sale of Goods Act" info that I posted.(Post #4)
There are no arguments. It doesn't matter if they offer you a free Big Mac every week for 10 years, if it doesn't work, and you want your money back, they are bound by law to give you a refund (even if they are the friendliest, most tree-hugging vendors on the planet). Mick |

I also doubt your credit card company will do much about it. It's likely that the first thing they will say is you can sort it out with the vendor because he is offering resolution of the issue. I'd be interested to hear if that isn't their first response purely because that was what I was told in similar circumstances by my card provider. |

Go on the internet and read. Then tell your Trading Standards people to read.
Been there, done it, and over here they don't even know there is such a thing as consumer rights (until you present them with it all printed out, in French of course). Here's another, this time from the vendor's responsibility side. The Sale of Goods Act The rights of customers: goods If you sell goods that don't conform to contract - that aren't as described, are unfit for their purpose or of unsatisfactory quality - you are legally obliged to resolve the problem if your customers seek redress. The Sale of Goods Act states that if customers want to reject faulty goods, they have to do so within a 'reasonable time'. A legal definition of 'reasonable' is not given though - it varies from case to case and could be just a few weeks from the date of purchase. If a customer rejects faulty goods within this 'reasonable' period, they're entitled to ask for their money back. All customers can claim compensation at any time if they choose. If you sell to consumers - not other traders - they can ask for a repair or a replacement immediately (instead of asking for a refund) at any time until six years after purchase. If you're dealing with a consumer, any repair or replacement you arrange must not cause them too much inconvenience. You may have to pay for other costs such as transportation. However, if a replacement is impossible and the goods cannot be repaired economically, or vice versa, then you can offer a full or partial refund. In law you have a responsibility to your customer for up to six years from the date of purchase (in Scotland, five years from discovery of the problem). During this period, you are legally obliged to deal with any claim of breach of contract. Mick |

So many gaps in the act,
after three months a partial but not full refund could well happen, this has happened frequently in court to my knowledge. The branch that was dealing has now gone (closed/stopped trading) and that is who the contract is with not another branch or company. Tread carefully and follow the advice given by Trading standards or accept swap as offered. Credit card companies do also have let outs as well, do wonder who the acts are written for sometimes. |
