Purchased fake bag

Abbiedabbiedoo

I know I’m an idiot. Purchased a fake Louis Vuitton bag on a Facebook selling page. I collected it from her house and paid £600. It is such a good fake. I had it authenticated and it is fake. I have all the photos and messages back and forward but no receipt. I have sent a Rec delivery letter saying it’s fake and I want my money back which she has signed. Any suggestions on what to do next thanks in advance

What did the letter you sent say?

Did you give her a deadline to refund by?

Do you now have a letter stating it is fake?

Before going down the small claims court route, you need to prove you have given the seller adequate time to refund you.

As it is such a good fake, I imagine the seller paid a decent amount for it? Although if it wasn't sold with a receipt then it is likely to be a fake.

Thanks for your reply yes I have her 2 weeks to respond to letter which she has signed for. I have a certificate of authenticity to say it’s fake. I phoned a solicitor today. £100 for half hour appt. just thought maybe I could do something else. I had heard of small claims court but when I google it brings up other lawyers

Surely a "Certificate of Authenticity" would prove it's real (i.e. "Authentic"). What exactly have you got?
