And what on earth is amusing about this serious situation for you to have added the "Rolling on the Floor laughing" emoticon to your previous post??

Feel free to add your extensive legal knowledge to the thread.

Update

TV is currenly with the repair company (whom charged £90, yes £90 to pick it up!)

My friend is hoping to hear something in the next 48 hours, and is even more hopeful that Panasonic (or is it Panachronic?!) will foot the bill!

£90...what are they smoking over there?

Hope it's good news soon and I would send the bill for the pick up to Panasonic too as they should be paying for that if they agree to the repair.

What are the actual odds of getting something sorted using SOGA? Eg three and a half year TV that cost 450 quid going on the blink, a suitable replacement would cost <£350 - is life too short?

The odds are zero, the retailer went bust.

I 'think' John Duncan is eluding to something else, and not the 50GT30 in this thread.. (which cost a bit more than £450!)

Update:

Some good news, some no so good news

Panasonic have agreed to cover the cost of the repair! :)

Panasonic have said my friend has to cover the £90 he paid out to get the TV collected :cry:

He has therefore sent them a scathing email, will let you know what happens!

The Sale of Goods Act 1979 talked about goods being fit for purpose ie a TV should work, they should be as described and a satisfactory quality.

Your rights have now been increased "Goods are of satisfactory quality if they reach the standard that a reasonable person would regard as satisfactory, taking into account the price and any description" eg. I buy a £3000 Tv from Samsung and it stops working you have upto 6 years to make a claim with the retailer. The remedy is to use the small claims court.

The Consumer Credit Act gives you rights against the Credit Card Company so I bought my Sansung TV from Comet who are bust then I pursue Barclaycard because I have a cotract with them.

Hope this helps

Chris
