Remember that Pixmania are owned by the same group and have the same Policies in Customer Service ie. TERRIBLE!!

Amazon have shown themselves to be fair, John Lewis are the leaders, ARGOS I have always found excellent ...... DGS Retail Group deserve to go to the wall for their abysmal treatment of people.

I may have missed this, but have you bought a replacement yet? If so what did you get?

It was, and is, an unacceptable fault on a TV costing £800 ..... that fact has not changed.

What has changed is that the price paid for the TV has altered significantly, which changes the Formula - I'm sure you can see that?

Anyway, I resurected this thread as I have just had a call from DSG International ........... saying that they are under some pressure from Goldfish to settle the issue about the TV .... would I be willing to discuss the situation?

Now, if I had my wits about me, what I should have said was - "Yes, please replace the TV for a non-faulty unit" and then they would have authorised a replacement

Why do one office at DSG not know what another office is doing??? The kind chap said that, looking through the details, it appears I have not been treated very well ........ no ****!!

He had no idea that Litigation had taken place and DSG had lost the case

I have been shocked by the DSG Retails Groups complete and utter ineptitude and uselessness throughout ..... but, even after settlement, their wheels just keep on churning relentlessley

So then Pete, will you accept £5 for you out of date, faulty, secondhand TV? If yes - I'm the man to buy it from you. Think that's ALL profit.

I have considered selling it .... I have a queue of people waiting to buy it when I give the nod - it won't be for £5 though, it's value is quite high to those in the queue

Pete - if you are going to buy a new telly, then for good order you should write to Curry's giving them 14 days to take their telly away otherwise if you do decide to replace it - and bin the pixel - you won't have their authority to do so.

You miss the point - the TV is MINE!

I bought it - I own it.

The payment was compensation.

I rejected the TV - they failed to accept that rejection.

If they want the TV they can do what they made me do ..... take it to court - there's not a Court in the land who would make me give up something I have legal title to

I'd like to see them try it and get charged a lot more money in the end.

It's because I'm not sure the TV is yours in law that I suggest you find out before you do anything with it. You'd look bluddy silly if you got shot and Curry's came calling!!

That's why you are not my Legal Representative

I can assure you that I have good title to the TV

As an aside, their Legal Department have written to me again asking me to write them a letter saying that the Judgement has been cleared.

Yeah, right ....... like when I needed some help from them they did all they could to assist me!!!

My charge for writing a letter is £200, if they choose to write the letter then my signature upon it wil be £20 ...... and I will need a SAE!!

They have a cheek, haven't they?? They abuse me as a customer, refuse to talk to me after they decide they will not help me, and now they want ME to put some effort into helping them!!! They are off their rockers!!

Id do it Pierre. You have their money and the television set is still yours. Why not spend a couple of minutes writing it and be magnanimous in victory?

Because they said to me, "we will no longer converse with you, we will not repair your TV, we will not refund you, we will not replace with like for like - do whatever you wish to"

So, I took them to court and won ........ I charge £200 per letter, end of.

It's about time people stood up and made them suffer, like they make so many suffer on a daily basis.
