    Mike, keep fighting it through, common sense will prevail eventually!

    as far as i can see, you have done everything quickly and efficiently, and they have been arses about it, and in the process, produced a disgruntled customer which invariably leads to company avoidance, thus it is in (i think everyone has cottoned on to which company it is)'s best interests to resolve the matter amicably.

    The product is faulty, you're entitled to a fully as described product. Hang in there, and don't give up, if you give up, then others won't be spurred on to fight in the future

    lol the old VAT number caught my eye more than the board!!!

    Like someone else said earlier use Citz Advice B.

    They'll quickly give up if it gets to the stage of county court (small claims courty). I'd have thought

    Worth noting that if you have to get legal with their ass, you might be able to deal with it online.

    The VAT number post is indeed correct. I daren't say who it is as I know things normally go wrong when people mention them on here. I'll just say they sell overclocked stuff.

    the VAT number showing on the picture is of OCUK Limited, not that I'm saying that's where the motherboard came from .......

    You could also try taking them to court (small claims).. its easy enough, I did it a few years back with some bunch of jokers who arent in business now.. it was only about £60 and cost £10 to take to claims but they had to pay the whole £70. Similar situation with a knackered mobo.

    I'm sure you'll be successful with SOGA letter anyway....

    lol, I know but i have to behave myself and put my work hat on.

    I just hate people getting screwed over .. especially when all the info that the OP has received from the "retailer" is wrong.

    Re: Sales of goods act letter, someone help me please?

    Cheers for the replies guys

    Like I said to the guy, if I myself had damaged the board I would have got on with it and used it. I've never damaged a single component... well not since i pulled my dx4-100 overdrive cpu out at a slight angle. The fix was simple back then, put it back in at same funny angle and voila!

    If the board was B-Grade or whatever I'd understand. It however isn't, was supposed to be new and quite frankly I don't think it is.

    The reply I got from their returns manager was somewhat.... well put it this way - They can't claim they checked the motherboard wasn't damaged before they sent it out to me first time around


    Dear Sir,

    Unfortunately, we cannot accept a return on an item that has been damaged during use. There was no sign of the product being damaged in transit as the packaging was still intact with no sign of impact to the cardboard packaging.

    We do not handle the motherboards outside of their boxes here, and as such that would suggest that the damage had taken place in the factory - a place that is mechanised, sterile and produces hundreds of pristine motherboards each day.

    I am sorry that I cannot be of any further assistance in this situation but I must adhere to company policies.

    Regards,

    Oh and indeed, theres no damage to the box in terms of crushing etc but



    Of course, they probably didn't manage to see this for some magical reason. However - if the motherboard sat that way around in the box then its probably the right height for the bent corner.

    Well, "migraine" is probably, technically, incorrect. According to my doctor, I don't get them. I do get headaches, sometime very bad. Just recently, it's been a persistent little beggar, that has spent about 5 days ranging from merely a flipping nuisance to lying in a dark room, wishing the ants in the garden would wear velvet slippers because those hobnail boots are darned inconsiderate.



    Oh, and as my wife regularly tells me I do most of my thinking with a brain that isn't located between my ears, maybe I was anatomically closer to the location of my migraine than you thought.

    It's obvious who the offenders are and i doubt anyone is suprised by their attitude.

    I'm getting a bit lost with the sequence of events now, is this a very quick response to the draft letter in your original post, or from an earlier stage when the mobo was returned to you?

    In any case, "foot", "self" and "shot" spring to mind...

    "Dear Sir,

    Thank you for your letter of xx-xx-xx. Your acknowledgment that you failed to inspect the product prior to despatch is noted, as is your suggestion that the damage in question could have been sustained at the factory..."
