Comments

See MSE article re burden of proof. During the first 6 months it
is up to the seller to PROVE that no fault exists not up to the buyer to prove that
one does exist.- Sorry as a new user you are not allowed to post with links. This is done to stop spammers clogging up the site. Please edit your message below to continue.
thanks for the link
quoted below is what is in the link
Within four weeks. You can usually still get a full refund as you're unlikely to
be seen as having 'accepted' the goods. After that only expect exchange, repair or
part-refund.
Within six months. The shop must prove goods weren't faulty when they sold 'em –
after that you must prove they were.
It says I am entitled to a refund within 4 weeks as I have not accepted it
but I have used it so how dose that work?
The six month bit
you said 'it is up to the seller to PROVE that no fault exists not up to the buyer to
prove that one does exist.'
But the link quotes 'The shop must prove goods weren't faulty when they sold 'em –
after that you must prove they were.'
quite different
Is there any goverment sites that can quote the above internal link?0
