  • I got some spacemaker office furniture for free and the laminate peeled off. I used Gorilla glue? It's fine now.

    Did you pay for any part of this with a credit card, by any chance? 
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Yes the website just says "Inspiration guaranteed" now. Makes you wonder why they changed it??

    I didn't use a credit card. Not sure it would have helped after 14 months?

    Pursue them using the CRA first. Do you have Legal Protection on your house insurance? If so, this sounds straight-forward. Have you kept a note of every bit of correspondence you've had?

    ONLY when you've exhausted this avenue should you consider a DIY repair.

    Also perhaps worth a call to Trading Standards in the LA that covers that business. 
    The OP won't be able to do that. They'll need to go via citizens advice.
    How strange. It's exactly what I did a few years back when I bought a van from a dodgy company. They were very helpful, and were significant in helping me to obtain a refund.
    CRA first, yes, but if the company is not behaving as it should, then a bit of extra pressure usually helps to focus minds.

    As you say, a few years back. You can't do it today and haven't been able to for sometime Jeep's.
