Currys SAD FART claim

markhumpy

It doesnt detail that, was just based on the engineer inspection, i guess its not for him to determine manufacturer defect or not, although it certainly wasnt caused by me - the unit has been in same position in my kitchen since it was delivered by Currys

So an update - they have offered £242 as their full/final - would appreciate anyone’s thoughts on this?

How much is an 18 month old freezer .

Final offer rejected then small claims court would be next step .

quick ebay check for similar anything between £150-600 but would have to collect....and i still dont know what to do with the waste of space one in my kitchen!
Is take the offer and claim rest through S75 an option, as i paid on credit card?

No, the liabilty of the credit company would be the same, so they would consider the £242 as settled.

You could try to get Currys up a bit higher, if the fridge was £600 new then £300 would be a more reasonable offer I would have thought. But if second hand of a similar age is as low as £150 then their £242 isn't too far off.

i thought as much re the S75...
Its the fact i now have to go and spend >£600 to get a similarly specced unit - even worse im likely going to go to currys to purchase....ironic!

Why Curry’s, why not John Lewis who will deliver to you or AO?

Currys appear by far the cheapest and largest choice ive seen so far....

There's a reason they are cheap, as you know.

Ha indeed - steering clear of Kenwoood!
