Letter to Comet 27.06.2003 ( Day 2)
Comet Store Dear Sir or Madam, On the 4th of June 2003 my Monitor became faulty and
I visited your Store to find out the procedure, I was given a telephone
number to contact, re-repair or replacement. Your engineer contacted me on The 11th of June 2003 (or
contracted by you) unfortunately our times were incompatible. We arranged
for the faulty Monitor to be left at your store and it would be attended
to. Before I return this Monitor I insist you send me a written reason for this turn of affairs especially why I must have vouchers and not a new Monitor. I have shopped with Comet for many years and you will
have records for most of my purchases and indeed you have already stated
I was a valued customer. As I have said I cannot take any action until I have had written confirmation why this whole situation came about. Yours Sincerely
James Barclay To date this is the only correspondence
I have received from Comet. Two things to Consider. 1) I have had this
Monitor since 11.06.2003 (Why no Contact?). Why should I return it. ?

As you have probably guessed this is only
a scribbled note from a member of their staff. If you read closely into
this scribbled note it is quite plain Comet do not want to fully commit
themselves, but at the same time put all the onus on to the customer. 30th of June: Still no reply or phone call. 1st of July: Still no word or phone call. 12th of July: No word or phone call, Cold feet??, more important no word from Maztec. 22nd July: Closing this complaint as I have
had no word from Comet, I have had no explanation or apology from this
company and to date do not know how I stand or care. I have taken out
Warranties over the years for my Television and have had no problems when
any repair was required. I would suggest unless you are computer wise,
keep well away from Comet as this is not quite their field. 23rd July: My mistake, I got two phone calls
today from Maztec. The first call he said he was just back from holiday
and asked about his Monitor. I told him I have not heard anything from
Comet and could not help. 30th September: The conclusion to the Comet
Saga, I have to say the outcome was unsatisfactory. They have at no time
made any attempt to make contact with me and the only way I have been
kept informed was with a company I have had no dealings with. I would
suggest if possible deal with the company that manufactured the product,
as they will know how best to fix it. |
