HTC repair centre cannot find my phone

Hi, I returned my HTC Desire S to the repair centre for a second time due to the same fault with the earpiece.

They quoted 5-7 working days for return. I chased yesterday which was the 7th day, and they said they can see it scanned in, but no movement on it. I've since called 3 times for an update and they say they do not know where it is and they will now take another 7 days to investigate what has happened. They said I have no rights and just have to wait for them and there isn't anyone I can send a complaint to. I need my phone back as I use it for work.

Do I just have to put up with this terrible service ?

  • Who is the retailer? can you use these people to apply pressure to HTC?

    Try writing to head office, I am sure there would be a complaints procedure.

    Just pick up a £10 handset from Tesco or Asda in the meantime.
    Thinking critically since 1996....

    Take them to court & see what a judge says.
    Do you want your money back, and a bit more, search for 'money claim online' - They don't like it up 'em Captain Mainwaring
