Hi Guys, Have a slight problem with a Currys TV I bought 4 and 1/2 years ago. The unit cost me £1750 plus extended warranty. It was a 42" plasma screen that recently developed a dark black line down the centre. I contacted Currys who requested me to go to a local repairer to get a report on this. This I have duly done but I cannot locate my receipt and Currys are asking for this. Is there anyway that I can get a copy or proof that I bought this set from them?

I took out Mastercare warranty through them, and they have the details recorded as I contact them to verify when the warranty ran out.

 

Your help is appreciated.

Have binned all correspondence with HFC (no longer trading) as they were just statements of monies paid etc. Nothing about with any reference.

HFC Bank is still around and as this was less than 6 years ago they may still have the paperwork.

 

Contact them and ask them if they can provide you with any documentation. (the original agreement may have details on it)

Can I ask Currys for copy or confirmation? - Would they give it, do they have to? - What about the Mastercare agreement that was taken through the store?

Can try through HFC - is there a template letter on this or is it a standard CCA request?

I paid a deposit at the time with credit card. Just don't want to have to get into legal wrangle with currys over it. I know 4 1/2 years may be a long time to some but in all honesty I was not going to replace my TV for at least 10 years, after spending all that money. That is why I opted for a plasma in the first place.

Ah.. duh.. that completely slipped my mind while I was pondering over the details hfc might hold.

 

Yeh so long as you gave your details when you purchased the item, just go in with a form of ID and give them your name, postcode and house number they should be able to pull it up. Reciepts are held on the computer for upto 5 years for larger items.

Hi Guys, managed to get my proof of purchase from the store today.

The manager though was convinced that it would not help me as the TV was out of warranty. He also wished me good luck in trying to get this resolved through the customer services.

 

I really don't know what to make of his comments.

 

Regards

He knows that our call center is ran by capita, and to be quite frank, and with no offence to anyone inparticular, they are crap. Be prepaired for alot of stonewalling.

Ok, so what would be my next move as I did as they have asked, sent TV to independent engineer, at my expense.

Do I need to go legal on this issue?

I'm sure one of the old-timers on here will be able to point you to a SOGA template letter. Basicly, send that, a copy of your reciept, and a copy of the report to customer services. They should accept your claim from there on, as they have no legal right not to.

you should have no more issues now. and you will prob find they will replace it.

on another side note:

you mention HFC, if you paid for it by finance [even the no interest 12mts jobby]

i'd check they did not charge you PPI, 'cause the sneaky beggers did that to me ! even though it was supposed to be free finance for 12mts. i got £400 .

i say this 'cause HFC are coughing up on PPI claims at the drop of a hat.

We don't sell it anymore as of about 8 months ago. We very rarely even offered when we did sell it because sales colleagues got nothing for it, and there was no target for it. So it's not very likely, but by all means check.

DSG bringing both Sheffield and Nottm call centres back in house is the best thing they could do. I remember when Capita took over PC ServiceCall - I worked there at the time - how everything ticked nicely under DSG procedures and staff morale was great too, and then Capita changed the shifts, when we already knew what was the busier times, and a lot of the staff left which made the situation worse when they replaced them with non-technical staff (I mentored a few of them before they went on the lines, and realistically, they weren't ready technically). I left soon after... the prospect of dealing with a never-ending queue and increasingly clueless colleagues...
