Adam popped a head above the parapet and announced forth in a bold strong and almost manly voice: Hi Everyone snip (and anyway, would you keep a receipt for a low-value item that worked OK at first?), Yes I would for 12 months, including the packaging. |

Personally, I think only a complete ****wit of a business would make a fuss about a low value item and not only lose a customer FOR EVER but also generate some rather negative internet postings. Even if I hadn't bought it there (and seriously, how many people would try taking back something they bought somewhere else?) then surely it would still be worth while changing it for the goodwill. |

In article , says... even though I am responsible for all IT purchasing for my company If you are responsible for all IT purchasing, are you seriously telling us you'd consider heading to PC World for your purchases? You are either very good at bull****ting your employer, or in the wrong job if you do. OK, you've got me. Actually, I probabably would never have bought anything for my business from PC World anyway. But I definitely won't now. Ever. |

The problem is, when your company has as many negative internet postings as DSG, it really becomes something of a none-issue. Any consumer smart enough to research a vendor online before buying already knows better than to buy from PC World for anything worth serious money. |

says... Proof of purchase is not necessarily a receipt - it's not beyond them to check to see if they have sold a KVM recently to your credit card (assuming this wasn't a cash payment)... Burden of proof is not on them, it's on you. -- Conor "You're not married, you haven't got a girlfriend and you've never seen Star Trek? Good Lord!" - Patrick Stewart, Extras. |

says... Yes, but Dixons Group don't stop there...they really have a complete lack of respect for consumers' rights. Not really...they just enforce the SOGA to the letter which some shops don't to your benefit. -- Conor "You're not married, you haven't got a girlfriend and you've never seen Star Trek?

Do you think they give a flying **** about a punter who comes in once in a blue flood and only spends £10-£50? -- Conor "You're not married, you haven't got a girlfriend and you've never seen Star Trek?

From the FAQ re the Sale of Goods Act, off the DTI website: Q7. Do I have to produce a receipt to claim my rights? No. In fact the trader doesn't have to give you a receipt in the first place so it would be unfair to say that you had to produce one. However, it might not be unreasonable for the shop to want some proof of purchase, so look to see if you have a cheque stub, bank statement, credit card slip etc., and this should be sufficient. So...it's not entirely clear cut. Yes it is. No proof you bought it there, i.e receipt, credit/debit card receipt/ shops own stickers and you can go whistle. Unless they didn't give a receipt and you paid cash. They'd find it difficult to demand proof then! Not really. The law allows them to demand proof and you have to provide it. -- Conor "You're not married, you haven't got a girlfriend and you've never seen Star Trek? Good Lord!" - Patrick Stewart, Extras. |

It is up to YOU to provide proof. -- Conor "You're not married, you haven't got a girlfriend and you've never seen Star Trek? Good Lord!" - Patrick Stewart, Extras. |
