Post by: Topple on February 10, 2005, 17:36:01: Copy of e-mail received by B&Q customer services:

Dear Sir/Madam,

My congratulations to you on getting a yacht to leave the UK on 28th November 2004, sail 27,354 miles around the world and arrive back 72 days later.

Could you please let me know when the kitchen I ordered 96 days ago will be arriving from your warehouse 13 miles away?

Yours etc., etc.

Post by: Range Rover Blues on February 11, 2005, 02:16:56: My best mate at college was helping his parents put in a Kitchen one summer, one of these designer ones. Anyway, it was in a Cherry finish, very nice but impossible to get anything to match, as they found out when they tried to get the few remaining items to complete the kitchen, you know, all the stuff they leave out of the order. Basically by the time the kitchen was in it was no longer being made, so all the little fiddly bits were never going to come, so they didn't pay for it.

A while later a nasty letter comes from the recovery dept about an outstanding debt, and action being taken blah blah blah. Fortunately his mum works for a firm of solicitors, and their advice is a contractual perk of her position there, so one of the solicitors pens a equaly nasty letter reminding them that their cast-iron contract says payment will be made within 28 days of the kitchen being completed as per the drawings. Oh dear, about as much chance of that happening as Satan skating to work!

Funny though how the big companies back down when you are prepared to challenge them, as quite often they ignore our legal rights in persute of their profits.
