@curryspcworlduk Coverplan Nightmare Untold Lies and More !

[sarahndave]

Hi everyone, i have signed up to this forum because i am at the end of my mental state and needed some advise and from what i have read on here this is a great community with excellent help for those that need it and that person is me !

 

We purchased Coverplan on our laptop and have been paying the direct debit for months, we were rusing out of the house for a business meeting and "smash" the laptop went down the stairs and was in a very bad way, this was aweful because i had all our images on there and the thing wouldnt turn on and was in a mess.

 

So, i called Knowhow who told me the unit would be being picked up and that they estimated i would get the unit back within 7 working days, if they could not fix the unit by the 42 day which was April 19th i would be entitled to a write off.

 

Well after Knowhow ringing me almost everday to report the unit was waiting on several parts the 42nd day arrived on the 19th of April and i telephones them to ask when i would be getting the write of confirmed.

 

I was talking to a Richard who assused me the unit would take 3 days to be written of and on my notes he had argued with another rep that said i was not under a 42 day policy when it states that i am when you ring them up and give them my details !?

 

This went on for almost a week and after speaking to a Mrs Catherine Crapper who is a manager she also assured me it would be written of, then out of the blue a phone call with a gentleman asking for my email address so he could send the voucher code to go and get my new laptop and this is were it went horrible !

 

I was contacted last week by a guy from Knowhow that started the conversation with the following "Mr ******* im calling to tell you that there is no way i writing this laptop of so you have no chance sir" .................I was gobsmacked and amazed as he followed that by saying "we have unlimited time to repair your laptop" i asked what would happen if i was still waiting at Christ,as and he said "Thats your problem sir"

 

Can someone help me here ?

 

Its been over 50 days and its still not fixed and we have been told they do not know of they can get the parts to fix it !

 

I need my laptop for business and i am currently grounded when it comes to using a laptop because of them.

 

The worst customer service call centre i have ever delt with in my entire life !

it has to be repaired within a reasonable time.

I would have thought that 14 days would be good enough but give them another week to be safe.

42 days is frontlet enough time - especially if that is their own target.

I would send them a 7 day LBA and then sue.

it is very easy.

once the court papers are served you will sees an astonishing change in the way they treat you.

Do they still have a PCWorld advisor on these boards ?
