Please don't shout !

Hilary's cannot "send u a CCJ".
How on earth do you get a CCJ saying "my check had bounced" - sorry, but this is rubbish

The most they can do is get a summons raised against you in the County Court for non-payment. You then go to Court and fight your corner, or you counter sue on the grounds of poor quality goods. If your case is justified you will win. If your case isn't justified you will lose and be told to pay up. Only then if you don't pay up will a CCJ be issued - and by the Court, not the company !

You are far better off going to an independent blind / curtain shop.

I know a good shop in Borehamwood that would be half the price of Hillarys blinds.

but a bit far for me in North London N22!

There is no denying Hillarys are on the expensive side. There is a discount code on this Hillarys Blinds Site, but I don’t know if it is current or not

Engozer, most of your posts recommend that blind company - is it your company or are you on commission?

Can't comment on Hillarys' prices; our firm buys stuff from their wholesale side sometimes (same as their Retail products) but we have to warn our customers that it is fairly basic. It's a mystery to me how many people think it's upmarket!

We ordered roof blinds for our conservatory in June 2009 - they were fitted in August 2009 and by Sep 2009 the strings were starting to sag. (O/N: CNE281 - Invoice: 95519726 - £3,012.00). We complained by phone and eventually in October (after 5 phone calls) a technician arrived to retension the blinds. He said they would need further retensioning "later". In Jan this year (2010) I noticed that the strings were sagging again and that the connections of ythe blinds to the top of the conservatory walls was pulling the plastic covers away from the ring beam around the top of the conservatory.
We contacted Hillarys again and they eventually (after a further 5 phone calls and an agreement that we would pay the costs of the technician) sent a technician on 4-Mar-11. He said that the installation was very poor and that he would be back to fix it. Nothing materialised and after further calls to Hillarys we were informed that the technicioan had been terminated and that they would be in touch - since then - nothing.
Don't go anywhere near these people - their after sales service is terrible, their installation is shoddy and their customer care is non-exisitent.
