Harveys - The Furnitur Store
Published by Linus3d
30th October 2008
Unhappy Harveys - The Furnitur Store

Dining Furniture ordered 06/-05-2007, delivered 16 weeks later (was told 10 weeks @ time of order). Furniture was faulty (various faults in almost all pieces - chairs, table & sideboards) promised replacement 5 times and every time replacement furniture too was faulty. Suggested a discount or full refund, no response! Final letter sent to Harveys & Black Horse early August 2008 asking for a conclusion - however, I said if no discount will be given then I'll counter sue for lost holidays, inconvinience etc - again no response from either party! Yesterday, when I called Black Horse I was told that Harveys will collect the furniture immediately and refund me. I stated that I needed time to get replacement furniture and was told if I don't agree I will be charged rental!

I purchased the furniture on their interest free option - I have not missed a single payment and am still paying, as I don't want my credit rating altered. I'm not sure what to do next. Any advise will be gratefully accepted.

Please Note the above is just a synopsis - I will provide full details when required. I just didn't want to put readers off with a lengthy article!

Default Re: Harveys - The Furnitur Store

Hi Linus, Oh dear, the usual suspect - we had similar trouble with them about 5 years ago, top of dining table peeled off, their technician agreed manufacturing fault, they said they'd replace and wrong seat covers supplied. When I rang to speak to a Manager, the classic reply was "All our managers are out on the road". We had paid cash so were even more annoyed! Long story short took them to court and won, we had to send the bailiffs in to get the money tho! In your case I think a good first step would be a complaint to your local TS, I don't think your complaint about Harveys will be lonely!

No probs, OH was looking over my shoulder when I replied to you and said your rights are not affected by the method of payment, furniture supplied is not fit for the purpose, hope thats the advice you got from TS and get on with issuing that claim on MCOL. (Its a good idea to take photos of the offending furniture for evidence too. Good luck let us know how you get on).

Lightbulb Re: Harveys - The Furnitur Store

Thought I'd just update you guys on whats been happening. I got in touch with trading standards as advised by Miss Muppet they suggested I write Harveys saying as per the supply of goods and services act 1982 services must be carried out with reasonable care & skill, & goods be of satisfactory quality. Therefore I'll give them a further opportunity to deliver said goods in a satisfactory condition within reasonable time or to offer me a reduction in purchase price. I gave them 14 days to reply. They didn't so another letter went out stating the same but this time saying I expected a reply within 7 days.
This is their reply:

We're in receipt of your letter in respect of above invoice. We regret however, that as a finance agreement was taken at the point of sale, we are unable to assist you and are therefore returning your correspondence. They advise that I contact Black Horse finance as they may be able to help me!

Today after seeking advise from Trading standards a further letter has gone out to both Harveys & Black Horse saying:

Further your letter of 1st December 2008 I once again state that you are liable under the supply of goods and services act 1982. I have my statutory rights and am claiming that either you deliver the said goods in a satisfactory condition within a reasonable time or to offer me a reduction in purchase price I expect a reply within seven days of receipt of this letter.Failure to respond on your part will mean I will take further action.
