Bush Television from Tesco

[chopperclaire]

I bought a TV from Tesco in March 2005, just before I moved into my new house in July. It remained in the box until July when I moved in.
Last week the colour on the Tv has gone, and I now have the pleasure of watching a green and pink screen! I rang Bush and Tesco who both said that it is out of the 1 year warranty.

My mum who used to work in a retail store said that there is an Act which actually covers products for 6 years, and says they must be able to carryout the purpose which they were made for. Does anyone know which Act this may be, so that I can quote it?

Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks, will have a look into it!

It is called the Sales of Goods Act, and it is sadly eroded day after day by a lot of unscrupulous companies that try to flog you useless extended waranties instead, and try to deny your statutory rights when you refuse to pay up extra.

Trading Standards Central - Trading Standards and Consumer Protection information for the UK will explain SOGA, rather then reading the Act itself, which can be a bit arduous

Give 'em hell!

Thank you for the information, much appreciated. A letter will be sent to them today quoting Sale of Goods Act. I simply want it fixing rather than replacing, which I don't feel is an unreasonable request.

Many thanks
