You could miss some off the offers by the time you wait for the sim to arrive. By my experience anyway. You could buy one from Tesco for 99p or £1, well worth it in my opinion.:)

Thanks emerald- I was thinkin that might be the case....thanks for confirming. Will do as you you say....worst case is I end up with lots of sims:D:D

Tweets, my OH has expressed the opinion that Man U no longer have a 12th man on the pitch (i.e. the ref) due to the investigation into match fixing!

Do not explode with fury!

It is just one man's thoughts, and he always wrong... well I tell him he is!!:D:D:D:D

Can I ask some advice please for a friend who bought an Acer at Currys.

It played up after a couple of months of buying it. Not sure what exactly but Currys have had to send it away for repair.
She initially asked for a refund/ credit which they refused. They said they would have to repair it. They have now had it a couple of weeks and are waiting for parts.

It might just be me being naive but is she not entitled to a refund?

I'm unsure whether they were fobbing her off or not.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Unfortunately I think they can repair or replace If the wait becomes unreasonable then she can ask for replacement, did they give any idea of how long it would take?

As for reality TV - the only one I watch is The Apprentice!

I was thinking that the Sale of Goods act should come into play but unsure:o

I think you have to "reject" a computer quicker than that unfortunately. Rather unfortunate that it was bought at Currys as they can be a pain in the proverbial, but at least they are getting it repaired. The problem is that computers become personalised once they have been used, or something like that.


SOGA:

Returning faulty goods

If you buy a product that turns out to be faulty, you can choose to reject it which means you can give it back and get a refund.

But, the law only gives you a reasonable time to do this – what's reasonable depends on the product and how obvious the fault is.

However, even with major purchases or complex items, it’s safest to work on the basis you usually have no more than three to four weeks from when you receive it to reject it.

Getting faulty goods replaced or repaired

You have the right to get faulty goods replaced or repaired if it's too late to reject them. You can ask the retailer to do either, but they can normally choose to do whatever would be cheapest.

Under the Sale of Goods Act, the retailer must either repair or replace faulty goods 'within a reasonable time but without causing significant inconvenience'.

If the seller doesn't do this, you're entitled to claim either:

• a reduction on the purchase price, or
• your money back, minus an amount for the usage you've had of the goods (called recision)

If the retailer refuses to repair the goods, and they won't replace them either, you may have the right to arrange for someone else to repair your item, and then claim compensation from the retailer for the cost of doing this.

You have six years to take a claim to court for faulty goods in England, Wales and Northern Ireland; in Scotland you have five years.

Proving your claim for faulty goods

If your claim under the Sale of Goods Act ends up in court, you may have to prove that the fault was present when you bought the item and not, for example, something which was the result of normal wear and tear.

If your claim is about a problem that arises within six months of buying the product, it's up to the retailer to prove that the goods were of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose, or as described when it sold them.

For example, by showing that the problem was caused by an external factor such as accidental damage.

To get a faulty good repaired or replaced, follow our step-by-step guide.
