refund of deposit!?

deanew2009

Hi,

sorry if anything like this has been asked or answered before i looked and could'nt find anything.

I was having a look in cash generator the other day (Saturday 5th june) and seen a nice 50 " tv, i asked about it and and was told i would be able to put a deposit down of 136 pound and odd pence, and then pay it off over a period of 12 weeks. i payed the deposit and also some extra money to leave 300 pound to pay, (payed 379.99p.

anyway, something has come up that has forced me to have to cancel, and now i am been told i will not be able to get the deposit refunded, but just get the extra that i had payed, i was just wondering, if there is anyway out of this as it has only been 3 days since i payed the amount i stated

any help would be greatly appreciateed as the amount is alot to lose

thankyou

Don't understand why you had to buy a 50" TV if you had no money! What's wrong with something smaller?

We cannot possibly help you with what you have posted as we do not know what contract you signed.
What do the T&C say about cancellation??

Attracting PEOPLE who think THEY need to comment! but you've only had ONE response to your single post so why the plurals?

I always thought that that was the point of a deposit...

You pay it, as an act of good faith that you will complete payment. And if you then cancel, you forfeit it. That's what "deposit" has meant to me...

A deposit secures a product so no-one else can buy it.
If you change your mind, this is not the shops fault, and they may have been able to offload it on someone else.

Money gone i'm afraid.

Like what?
You asked a question and got a few answers you didn't like.

BTW......Nearly £700 for a second hand 50" TV is a ridiculous price anyway. New is cheaper than that.

why don't you sell the telly?
