Mis-sold TV by local 'engineer' scam
Hi, I just need some advice. I realise we've been scammed, but I'm now wondering what our options are.Our Samsung TV is 8 years old and is fine unless we want to watch a DVD on it, or use a Sky puck; then the screen has a funny fit and we can only see a quarter of it and in massive font. Husband was convinced it could be…

Online retailer refusing a return. Who is right?
I am a disabled pensioner. I bought a new bed base from a large and busy online bed shop 300 miles away and paid by c/c. Their couriers delivered it and although I told them not to remove the packaging (in the unlikely case I had to return it) they did so regardless and took it away with them. I did not find out until long…

Can I ask for refund of college course fee over an undisclosed requirement?
I've signed up for a part time art course in a local college. I've just had an email letting me know materials to bring to the first class and with a 'health and safety sheet' attached.

Faulty office chair consumer rights
Purchased an office chair in October 2019. In June 2020, I contacted the retailer because the piston wouldn’t keep the chair up. They said I could return the product to a store before October 2020 and receive a full refund. I explained I was unable to get to store currently and may not be able to then either due to being…

Argos, click and collect. Distance sale or not?
I won’t get into all the details at the moment, and will try to keep it short and precise. If an iPhone was purchased online on the argos website, paid for in full at that time and then just collected from the store the following day, would that be classed as a distance sale? Should I be provided a refund if it was within…

Do Small Claims Court Limits Include Court Fees
Confused as to whether the £115 submission fee for starting a claim becomes part of the total claimed. It's important because my claim is very near the limit for the £115 fee (i.e. £3000) and I don't want it to be rejected if I fall into the next highest band of fees (an extra £100 or so).

Amazon sent the wrong item and won’t refund me
I'm curious if anyone else has encountered a situation similar to mine. I placed an order for an iPhone 15 Pro on Amazon, but when the package arrived, it contained AirPods instead. I reached out to Amazon's customer service, and they provided a return label after I provided photographic evidence. Amazon insists they sent…

Consumer Rights Act 2015? Not worth the paper it written on.
My recent encounter with a retailer and the courts have left me disillusioned and to be honest, concerned in how the justice system works. A person buys goods to the value of £4056, he pays by debit card and collects the goods in person. The retailer doesn't have any demonstration facilitates, however, they do invite you…
