Quick update, sorry for the delay. After the last email VERY have now refunded the whole £399! So now we re going to buy a replacement from Apple so that we can go into our local Apple store and get help/service if required. Thanks for all the help and comments. Russ

Thanks for your replies. You are right, all I really want is a replacement as my daughter is going stir-crazy. This was sent to them on 24th December and if no resolution is found then I intend to go for a legal challenge. Thank you for your email. I DO NOT accept your new proposal and I want an explanation to why you have charged a £159 usage fee to my account AND also removed the £159 from the original price of the item. This has basically doubled the usage charge! I do not accept this and have no intention of accepting this or paying the charge. Your original proposal, for which I have emails, was to credit my account with £319.20 which was the original price minus a 20% usage fee. This was proposed 3 weeks ago and still no action has been taken dispite numerous phone calls and emails, all of which have been logged. I am getting fed up with the unprofessional attitude of this catalogue and this matter must be concluded within 14 days or I will have no option other than to take matters further. I would like the £159 charge removed, the £319.20 credited to my account and this matter RESOLVED as per your original emails and calls. My daughter has been without her item for several months now and with no resolution in sight. Russ

Hi there, Thanks for the reply. It is an Ipad Air and they still stock it but now at £319. We paid £399. I have a written report from Apple stating its a hardware fault and not down to user mistreatment. Can I claim for a direct replacement? Very seem to want to give us the new price (£319), minus usage, which was 20%, but now seems to be £159!. All I want is to get another as my daughter is going stir crazy lol.... Not sure what I am entitled too. Russ

Hi there, I am in need of advice. We bought our daughter an iPad Air from Very on 7th Dec 2013 for £399. In November of this year it stopped working and we took it to Apple who diagnosed a hardware fault and not an operator induced error. He even comment to how good the iPad still looked! We went back to Very at the end of November and asked them to sort it under the SOGA as Apple stated that this was good for 2 years. Very originally agreed to a refund minus a 20% usage fee! This has now been on going for 4 weeks and we still have had no resolution. Yesterday they have now stated that the usage fee is £159! Very will only refund £239 into the account but they have already added £159 usage fee tot he account.... What can I ask for, as all I want is a replacement. I feel that we are being pushed from pillar to post and have made no progress after 10 phones calls and multiple emails. Any help appreciated. Russ
