All my purchases were under the old refund TOS. If you send them a letter before action they'll fold and you'll get your money back, read how to follow the process correctly and put a bit of effort into the letter. You need to demonstrate that they hadn't fulfilled their end of the contract, although you'll probably win if they're really serious about going to court (I don't believe for a second they are), if you put some effort in, it's a more sure thing if any of your purchases were after June 2014 as the law changed. I don't believe you can proceed to small claims without a letter before action, maybe an email counts now, I dunno. Ring Citizen's advice, they'll help, but if they tell you to send a normal letter before the letter before action, don't bother as no point.

You'll need to send a letter before action even if you have already written to the trader about the problem. You have to send a letter, they don't think you are serious as you can't be serious because you didn't send a letter..... Also you're in the EU, their TOS is absolutely and completely worthless, there's no point even reading it. AP fucked around with this message at 00:12 on Jan 13, 2016 |

I think an email counts. I think the fact I emailed them and they acknowledged it means they can't now claim I didn't follow the correct pre-action protocol. I'm not going to bother with Citizens Advice; getting an appointment with them or calling them sounds like a pain. This small claims lark doesn't seem much more complicated than employment tribunals, which I know a fair bit about already.

if they are seriously going to bother with this great of a length to dispute a $200 refund, they must be financially not looking so crash hot. it's kind of terrifying and exhilarating to see the multiple-thousand-dollar backers lurking on the horizon. eventually they'll realise what they've bought into and the level of fury and indignation will be colossal

Well maybe I dunno but good luck, if it's of any use to you, I'd make sure to include that they misrepresented the terms of the contract and the description of the goods has been inaccurate. For Misrepresentation & Sale of Goods. Also make sure to hit them for the filing fee plus interest, I think at 8%.

Dude, no, with anything legal, get EVERYTHING as nailed down as you can. Otherwise they'll have an excuse not to reply and/or throw out your claim. Do whatever it takes to protect yourself.

We're finally getting space court. Since before CitCon in October, this has been the best thread in forums history. And there's so much more hilarity to come before they spit out the malformed lump that will be SQ 42. We may even get another bathroom door update!

From a quick google, the reason you don't send a letter before action via email is that even if they reply and you print the reply, they can say they didn't receive it and say they didn't send the reply. You're then a bit hosed trying to prove they did. With a recorded letter, you have the royal mail tracking slip and proof of delivery. AP fucked around with this message at 00:35 on Jan 13, 2016 |

I just got notice they are defending the claim(!!); some guy called Ortwin Freyermuth, who is a director of CIG, signed off on the action. An hour of that guy's time must be worth more than the money I gave them. A thread full of Derek Smart's are rooting for you. Good luck goon, let us know how it goes.

I used to have a chair that looked just like this when you took the cushion off. It was basically a fouton that folded down into a twin bed. Well, that's my story.
