Hi Pete. Thanks for asking, its slowly getting better. Didn't enjoy it much though.

Les :)

Aren't the credit card company going to investigate this now? I'm intrigued that they appear to have put the onus on you to further this matter. On the two occasions I've gone through the process, they've gone on to investigate it and on both occasions I've been refunded.

Spoken to Consumer Direct .... the Credit Card Companies ALWAYS try and escape without dealing furtgher with you, so they say.

Also, as a Consumer, you can chase the Retailer, the Credit Card Company, or BOTH! You do not have to take the retailer to the wire first.

They say that the Credit Card Company have a much lower pain threshold than CURRYS - they are far more likely to pay instead of fighting. I can take either to court!

Interesting all this, the 'feeling' you get going through this is that many customers are short-changed on their consumer rights .... they refuse to fight and give up - thus encouraging bad practises from the likes of CURRYS!

I've finally figured out Lewis's problem.......

I've got this gadget on my scooby that monitors the engine for strange noises that some call det. Anyway when I'm giving it a bit of welly I get this little green light flickering away on my dashboard. Some here call this clever little gadget a Cocklink.

The folks at LG heard about Lewis's obsession with Cocklinks and have kindly fitted one to his telly. He must have the brightness set dangerously high, the little green pixel is flickering to let him know it could cause some damage and to back it off a little.

The anals have finally had their revenge. Hope you are enjoying your LG plasma with added Cocklink :luxhello:

:lol1: :lol1: :lol1: :lol1: :p

Very good Graz ;)

A CockLink Plasma TV?? I reckon that could sell :lol1:

It did turn red when I knocked into the screen .... :eek:

There will be new technology out, once this ever gets resolved... ;)

pete, it looks alright from here mate :)

The funny thing is - that TV wouldn't have a faulty pixel would it?? :lol1:

Were CURRYS selling TV's in the old days? Looking at the bad press they get I am surprised they are still in business.

'Letter Before Court Action' to go out today.

Just revisited every Consumer Website I can find, spoken again to CAB, contacted Consumer Direct to clarify points. It seems I have an extremely strong case - we will see what CURRYS response will be?

I suspect they will issue a defence in court and take it to the wire.

Good luck.

Les

Copied and sent by special delivery I hope. Cant trust them to admit to receiving it!

Andy

Certainly copied and Recorded Delivery ..... still revisiting the words and detail of the letter.

The first draft went something like "Go ***k yourself you sh**ty excuse for a retailer, may the cr*p from a thousand camels land on your heads, see you in court you pile of stinking s**t"

2nd draft left out the first ***k ...... ;)

Up to 8th draft at the moment :lol1:

You lot posting here has given me the strength and will to carry on - keep it up! :thumb:

calm down, your starting to sound like dci when hes in a "love" mood:freak3:

pslewis, bizarrely I've always been able to sort out any tedious problems I have on my own. Low and behold this means that I have the recourse of not having to ask SN and form an 18 page thread to get by in life. Perhaps this is due to the fact that I was born with an innate ability to do what I think is correct without consulting a public forum every minute. HTH :D

You are limiting your knowledge then - I use every resource at my disposal.

For a person such as yourself, with such an innate ability, it must be a bit bemusing to find that you feel the compulsion to post slagging someone else off - especially someone you don't know?

Thats not a skill, it's a real weakness.

EDIT:- I have just seen that your profile shows an Infraction which claims to be from me - I can assure you that it wasn't my Infraction ..... you probably deserved it, but I certainly didn't award you it.

Sure pete, and you're such a paragon of truth ;)

I'm not slagging you off, far from it. I'm only offering an alternative reality :D

I suspect thats more thorugh necessity than choice though Pete ;)

:lol1:

Only half of the lies I tell aren't true!!!

You are offering YOUR reality? Nah, thanks all the same - I'll stay in mine, it is way more interesting that yours :D

that has to be comment of the day :)

Perhaps we should just turn this thread into a general humour forum. The whole idea of Pete seeing being haunted by little flashy lights is most amusing :lol1: :notworthy

Let us hope he does not realise the true valve of what he has. His TV is simply incubating a little baby Martian.

Sure m8, 'whatever'. So :) How's your BMW? :lol1:

Yeah, your fruitcake life looks ever so schweet to me :D

Do I need to quote? ;)

What is your previous record for the length of a thread Pete?

Les :)

Les, I must hold the record - I guess?? ;)

No idea what that was, maybe the Anal Oil Change Thread?

Apparently I am an attention whore, so those people giving me all the attention tell me :lol1:

Anyway, back on track ..... the Letter Before Court Action went Recorded Delivery today.

Looking at the cases that have gone before, it is clear that CURRYS are quite willing to defend their corner and go to court. In 90% of the cases they offer a settlement just before the hearing - in the remainder 10% they have lost :lol1: (not quite true, but they spend a lot of time, money and effort in pi55ing customers off ..... which is quite staggering!).

Stick with it-they deserve to lose-heavily!

Les

ROFLMFAO:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

If this had been I it would have been straight to the shop and under the Sale of Goods Act replaced immediately or arrests would have followed;)

Bugger 12 pages of anal drivel and asking the Chuckle Brothers at Currys (to you to me) for a decision. You've more chance of getting a referendum over Europe or Chancellors to call an election:D

Either way good luck in the courts at least you may get a day out of the old home;)

Thanks for your support 'ThE RoChFoRd OnE!'

PMSL at 'The Chuckle Brothers' at CURRYS :thumb: You've met them too then?? :lol1:

I have had 3 letters from CURRYS from 3 different people, you would have thought - by now - someone would have grabbed this by the horns and sorted it out?

They are desperately trying to hide behind the "We offered to take it into the Workshops for further Investigation" in an atempt to appear reasonable to the court. FFS everyone knows it's a faulty panel - end of, no investigation needed ............ this panel is dead, deceased, is no more :D

Funny thing is that, in law, the TV is deemed to have had the fault since new - LGE's own 12 month guarantee protects against defective materials and workmanship - CURRYS say that the Panel has a 'Purity Error' ...... which means the panel is made up of a defective material :lol1:

Yet they are still up for Court :lol1: They are going to look so good aren't they? :D

Has anyone noticed all of the Currys Ads posted by Google on this page:cuckoo: :D

Maybe they post on here and know who you are:Suspiciou

I like a bit of a chuckle!

Les :)

They should damned well shake in their boots in that case :lol1:

Too much Monty Python me thinks:smug:
