I can't understand how a group of people can stand around a laptop in PC World and not one can read a spec or instruction book ?

By paying the deposit and completing the form he had agreed to buy BUT with one caveat. Its the caveat not the sale thats the problem.

Do I read that he won up to a point but was not happy with the damages so appealled them. If correct ..Oh dear !

Hi Folks,

Thanks for all the support. I'll try and clear a few things up.

Trading Standards weren't interested. My word against theirs they said. The same thing was said by just about every solicitor. Thankfully, I managed to find the sales clerk to back me up and the sheriff agreed that I was telling the truth with his support.

I posted in 2008 on here to help others in similar situations.

I hadn't agreed to buy a laptop unless it had an in-built modem. Because I was going offshore the following afternoon, we (the sales manager, sales clerk and myself) agreed that I would sign a deliberately post-dated contract (just one - not two) that would not be processed in the event that the laptop didn't have an in-built modem.

The next morning, the sales manager who signed the post-dated contract processed the contract anyway knowing that I had not agreed to buy it! That is fraud and he'll eventually be prosecuted.

For HFC to then threaten me with a default, knowing that I hadn't agreed to buy the laptop, is extortion and they too will be prosecuted.

For HFC to actually annihilate my credit rating is malicious defamation and for that I guess those responsible will be heading straight to hell.

For HFC to try and squirm their way off the hook is merely perverting the course of justice.

Be in no doubt that the only reason that we still haven't set up a family home is the original wrongful default. I have lived the nightmare and I know. Both mine and my wifes lives will have been shortened due to the stress we've had to endure.

Thousands of other families have been affected by wrongful defaults. The banks have blood on their hands yet the CEOs responsible remain free.

My current defaults are a direct consequence of the original wrongful one.

Legal action was necessary because the bank refused thousands of opportunities to remove the wrongful default at no cost to themselves. I am very fortunate to be the first person to see the action through to conclusion with the help of charity.

The Small Claim was supposed to be a hint for PC World to do the right thing.

If anyone affected by wrongful defaults would like to get involved in the ensuing media frenzy resulting from the Supreme Court ruling (hopefully before Easter) consider writing a small comment on this petition:

Cheers,

Rico.

So what's happened so far?

I have an extensive background in computing. Hell, I'm writing this from my custom watercooled PC. I was invited in for an interview for PC World back in 2005 when I moved city and desperately needed a job. They didn't give a damn about my computer background, not one Scooby. All they cared about was my ability to sell. Why is why the "he processed the agreement anyway" is no surprise.

Just have to wait for the supreme court to hand down their judgement. Perhaps a few weeks or a month or so away.

Interestingly, I had a chat with a colleague / friend of mine about this, knowing he used to work for DSG - both in store and later in head office.

He wasn't surprised at all - in fact, he said they had a store room in the store he worked in where they kept items people wanted to return but weren't permitted to so they just abandoned the item at the store as the OP did, and said nothing was ever done with these items at all.
