  1. SoGA-v-Manufacturers warranty. You are the foolish one because up to now all you've done is rubbish my posts and quoted from others. Where is YOUR evidence that a manufacturers warranty is better? Tut tut. You must try harder.
  2. You still have not provided the evidence I asked for. Easier for you and your limited intelligence to post silly comments is it?
  3. I'd have what you're having with your coffee but it seems dangerous.
  4. Fair comment. My bad. I should have said protection under the SoGA. Shows what a reasonable person I am.
  5. You are not really with us are you?
  6. Wall. Bash. Headache. Yes a Manufacturers guarantee which does not give the same protection as the SoGA. See my previous post about consumer protection. Manufacturers guarantees are far more onerous-and less generous-than the protection given to consumers by the SoGA or CPUTR and other legislation. If you buy an item with a credit card then you are covered by the Consumer Credit Act 1974. Section 75. which gives consumers added protection in the event of the retailer going out of business. Back to the OP..... Buying from Comet is risky because your consumer rights will be limited.
  7. Now I've challenged 'Anna Glypta' to provide evidence she's suddenly gone to sleep. I wonder why??
  8. You have posted links to the sites I quoted from. I accept I should have included the links but that does not mean my information was incorrect does it? For the record; I spent over 10 years in a retail environment and I'm up to speed on Consumer legislation,Contract law and the DPA.
  9. As I quoted from the SoGA (twice) your point is?...............
  10. Instead of posting childish insults give me and others the benefits of your knowledge and give examples of why I'm wrong. I'm waiting.............................
  11. Dear God! The OP was about Comet going under. I wrote you will not have a guarantee if you buy something from them. You started to blather on about manufacturers guarantees. Read the damn post! In the first instance any faults should be reported to the retailer, in this instance the retailer will no longer exist. Got that part? Good. Shoppers' rights under the Sale of Goods Act 1979 (as amended) are against the retailer, not the manufacturer. Guarantees simply give additional rights which shoppers can choose to use.You have up to six years to claim compensation from a retailer for a faulty product, far longer than you have under most guarantees. Also, rights under guarantees are only as stated in any particular guarantee. For example, it may only be a right to repair and involve you paying the cost of the carriage, which means it isn't cost-effective. The SoGA gives consumers far more protection than a manufacturer's guarantee. I will repeat myself. Read and understand the SoGA which is totally separate from a manufacturers guarantee to customers. I bought my TV from John Lewis because I got a FREE 5 year warranty and the set cost me no more than one bought from Comet.
  12. Really? So you are now this forum's Sale of Goods Act and Warranty expert? If you purchase a TV from a retailer your contract is with him/her NOT the manufacturer. If you want to make a claim under the Sale of Goods Act you have several possible ways of resolving your issue, depending on the circumstances and on what you want done. Your rights are against the retailer – the company that sold you the product – not the manufacturer, and so you must make any claim against the retailer. However, the Sale of Goods Act doesn’t apply to goods you've bought on hire purchase (HP). Instead the Supply of Goods Impied Terms Act 1973 applies, which makes the HP company responsible for the quality of the goods supplied and gives you slightly different rights. Sale of Goods Act 1979. Read the SoGA before leaping to your keyboard. You might learn something.
  13. Instead of ranting on here why did'nt you write a letter of complaint to the shop owner? Nisa stores are independently owned retail outlets operated throughout the UK.The stores, including those branded Nisa Local and Nisa Extra, are all members of independent retail consortium Nisa. A type of 'co-operative' owners group. Retailers who offer Credit/Cash Card facilities usually have to pay one and a half percent of the transaction value to the Card operators so that is why anything purchased for less than £5 is loss making to a small shop. Being 'not bothered' about a shopowner's bank charges shows a very limited knowledge of how retailing works today. Is this recent experience the biggest worry in your life at the moment?
  14. Everyone likes a bargain but........but. If you buy anything from Comet you need to be aware that you will not be covered by any guarantee. You contract is with the Retailer not the Manufacturer so if Comet goes down the tubes you lose. Even if the remains of Comet is bought by another group or consortium your guarantee is still worthless because the new owners have no obligations for any goods sold by the previous owners. This happened when BestBuy went bust last December, customers thinking they had bought a bargain but without any guarantee. The only option is an overpriced 3rd party warranty sold to you by the ever helpful 'Customer Advisor' Your money. Your choice.
