Op purchased the item in 2002. It cannot be pursued now, as per the Statute of Limitations.

According to the Wikipedia page, the OP is in plenty of time. The issue was discovered a year ago, and he has up to six years from then to make a claim:

It's wiki...arcon perhaps will question it's validity?

Hi Techhead,
Pretty much as any valuer can do the same.
They can be an expert in paintings and give an opinion, but still have their own art gallery.
And if you look his website, he's been an expert witness in many things, including appearing on BBC's Fake Britain with Dominic Littlewood, which I just happened to watch last year.
Thanks for reading anyway.

You've slightly missed the point, according to your post you approached this dealer with a view to a sale. ( Not, for example, with a view to a valuation for insurance purposes)

Ideally you would have an expert opinion of whether the items are fake from someone unconnected to any potential sale.

Doesn't everyone getting an item valued have half an eye on the sale price? The dealer isn't interested because he believes the items to be fakes, not because the price is too high!

It has been pursued...so it can be. QVC have made an offer which the OP has accepted. QVC have not delivered on their offer.

Now arcon5 what do you suggest? Do you still say the OP can't pursue this?

Yes, 9 years after the event. 3 years above the 6 year limit to bring the complaint against the shop.

It is also possible that the dealer may say they are fakes in the hope of making a purchase at a substantially lower price.

Hi arcon5,
Under the Sale Of Goods Act, that is true, BUT according to the case law that Trading Standards sent me last year, there's an additional 3 years from the date of discovery.
Thanks for reading my post.

Hi Techhead,
I don't think I have.
Whether I wanted to sell to him or not, he is still an expert in this field and has been used as a prosecution expert witness in such cases.
Where as QVC have provided nothing and no one and it's their own opinion that says they are the genuine items.
Thanks for reading the post though.

Hi everyone,
I think some of you are going down the route about value etc.
Value in this case is not the issue. The issue is that in someone's expert opinion, all the signatures are fake.
QVC state not only do they NOT have their 'Due Diligence' records (and no other records about the sale to be more exact), in their opinion they are the genuine signatures.
Since when did QVC have such experts? I thought they just sold items on a shopping channel!

To be fair they have a point. You haven't purchased anything from QVC your ex partner has. There is no reason for QVC to either provide you with a refund or any sort of compensation as you haven't purchased anything. There isn't any reason they began to respond to your requests in the first place.

Have you checked they haven't refunded to your ex wife's account?

Hi Forwandert,
I don't get where everyone is coming from about ownership.
I have (or had) the property in my possession.
I do not know where my ex lives (we seperated very acrimoniously), so QVC will not know either.
The bank account used to purchase these was a joint one AND is now mine (same account number, I had it changed to an individual), so technically I at the least paid half for these and more importantly, I have an email and a letter from QVC last year that said they will send me the refund (admittedly I didn't include that in my story, but I was trying to keep it short).
Anyway, thanks for the imput.
