  1. Thanks for the replies Should Trading Standard be contacted because he is doing this to a number of people?
  2. Hi, Thanks for the reply We have what looks like a legit contract. And we made payment via bank transfer.
  3. Great I'm keen to post a review on this guy a.s.a.p but wanted to know the legal position before doing so
  4. Anyone, or can someone signpost me to a thread of a similar situation? I can only see one page of forum history and I can't see a similar story.
  5. Hi We paid a deposit for a new window to be made in an existing wall, it was £600. The builder has constantly not turned up and is ignoring calls. A review of someone else having the same problem has gone up on google. What do you do when the builder has done nothing at all, other than take your deposit? Thanks
  6. Not a different game but the exact same game as we already have but under a different name and box. I think it is made by another company. So they have changed the box to make it looks like a different game but inside its the exact same one.
  7. Brought a board-game to play at Christmas. However, when it arrived it was the exact same board-game as an already long established board-game. The outer packaging/name etc are totally different to look at, you'd not know they were the same. There is no mention that the two items inside are exactly the same. Are they allowed to do this?
  8. Thanks interesting and as I'd expect really. It is misleading but its actually meaningless.
  9. Its hard to say if more expensive than normal but certainly very expensive.
  10. I was in a shop a while ago that claimed to be a 'Factory Shop'. However, it was extremely expensive, when by definition a factory shop should be cheaper than normal. This is misleading and I wondered if there was any accountability?
  11. "a shop that sells things more cheaply because it sells them directly from the company that made them" http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/factory-shop Does a shop have any accountability for making a claim to be a factory shop,when it might not be?
  12. I actually packed it myself. I think I've done a great job, really enjoyed doing it. Not as hard as it seems
  13. Does anyone know where I might find something official that I could show to Amazon to prove its down to them to supply the packaging?
  14. I had a live chat with Amazon. I said it was crazy and she went off to speak to her manager and he confirmed its down to me.
  15. They don't see it that way. I even said I could drive it somewhere as long as it was reasonably close but they said no.
  16. Hi All, Amazon have agreed I can return a faulty TV. However, it's 55" and I was unable to keep the packaging as it took up too much space. They are saying it cannot be collected unless its securely packaged. Does anyone know how I might solve this problem.
  17. Thanks for the reply Eric, Warren and Baz. I've actually found out that all the lines were out of order. You'd think they'd not allow you to connect with a number that doesn't work
  18. Hi All, Have spent about £40 today hanging on to talk to a hotel chain reception on a premium number. I've still not managed to speak with anyone. Can a service provider just leave you hanging on when you call these numbers? Thanks
  19. Thanks you Andy. I do have a good evidence trail. I do not believe he is registered, does this only mean I cannot log a complaint with the appropriate body, or is there something else as well?
  20. Okay sorry I thought as they were different questions. Apologise.
  21. Hi All, We employed an Electrician to rewire our house. He did an assessment and informed us it didn't need to be rewired, just a few changes would do (still 35 hours of work, which isn't far off what a rewiring would have taken). However, we had problems after he did the work and got another opinion. This second electrician informed it did need rewiring. I've now got a third person to do an assessment and he said no doubt it needs rewriting. I've also asked the original electrician to give his reason for giving that advice and he is refusing to answer. He also didn't provide a safety certificate and he left live wires exposed. This situation is a disaster as we wanted this work done as soon as we moved into the house. We also work from home and wanted to avoid disruption, which we made very clear to this guy. We have also since redecorated some of the house and laid carpets. The house was built in 1970 and has never been rewired, I think this alone would normally be a good reason to rewire. We are considering taking this to court. Does anyone have any feedback? Thanks
