Littlewoods DISGRACE

This thread right from the OP is utterly mystifying.

Yep - but op still thinks he's right and wants to "punish" littlewoods.

OP - may I suggest you read through some of your previous threads. You have a lot of issues with authority and anyone daring to tell you what to do. You never want to excell in anything. You never want to be liked by colleagues.

Maybe you need to chill out. Accept life for what it is. Accept that there will be small talk. Accept that big companies make their own rules and apply them. Accept that when you buy something, it is expected that you pay for it. Accept that people are not perfect. Accept that you are not perfect.

Life is so much easier when you let it be.

If they rectified their mistake then i would 100% take back what i said but this is 99.99999% not going to happen

They have rectified their mistake, which is why they are no longer offering you credit.

Liam I'm sure your a troll having us all on but either way I've had a great laugh at your replies.

I've worked in banking and insurance, every wonder why some of those people sound a little dead inside on the other end of the phone? It's because, trust me, you deal with this kind of stuff a few times a week.

This thread is a mess. OP has got pages of valid advice and ignores it

The last bit is wrong.

It's the typical advice of bend over, submit like most people do and pay for something that is the fault of a company, no sense of pride among people, its shocking, however i do appreciate the feedback given by everyone here

The best advice here is to send back the items youve ordered and tell them that because of their unprofessional behaviour you no longer want to do business with them and you'd like the money you've paid so far returned.

That seems to be the best way to get your disappointment in them across doesn't it?

Or....???

If you want a credit account, you need to play by the rules. And you don't

I can't lock a thread on mobile, but will as soon as I get to a PC. There is nothing further to be added here

So did you get goods or not?

If you never got goods, of course don't pay.

If you did, then pay up.

I'd be sacked after a day! Could not be dealing with nonsense like that.

Why not move it to afterhours? I'm on "watch duty" tonight for someone recovering from surgery and would enjoy the ah replies to kill the boredom.

I'm going to demand that they give me a reason for refusing me or else there will be a tribunal

Oh yes please do that.
You demand things.
You set up that tribunal.

It's the typical advise to warn you to not f*** your credit rating for years to come - trust me, that settled one may well come back to haunt you, in the bank I worked beside the guys who did credit scores for lending facilities. Kicking up all the fuss in the world won't help you get a mortgage or car loan when you need one down the road, and at least in Ireland credit ratings are required from previous countries of residence if you plan on moving abroad.

It's typical advise to tell people that paying for what they receive is an important part of any transaction, and it's an important element of any functioning economy. Looking for ways to get something on an agreement of trust and then finding ways to break that trust is entirely antithetical. Not only does it screw you over, but screws over the entire consumer base of that economy because it forces (or depending on their own moral compass, gives an excuse for) the retailers and creditors to take more stringent measures with harsher consequences and unfavourable terms (to the consumer) in order to ensure security and viability. Part of the reason so many people are calling for you to pay is because you're not only f***ing yourself, but in the grander scheme of things your consumer history (as pointed out from previous posts by others) is f***ing us too.

You're barely even a number to them at the end of the day. You can decide to not pay for it, that's your prerogative, but it will bite you in the ass in a bad way. All this talk of "let's see who blinks first" and so on is essentially the same as standing on the train tracks of an automated train and doing likewise... it leaves a quick yet irritating clean up job for the train company, but meanwhile you're f***ed.

Maybe they find you too difficult to deal with.

We had a customer who was so awkward that when he kept threatening to go to a rival, the sales person printed down their brochure and asked if he wanted directions to their nearest outlet.

Settled.....but not paid of course.

I think then that would be deemed written off as opposed to settled.

Interesting to note.

Pity The Thunderdrome is no longer around; we'd have fun with this one! But I'm sure, toss it into AH; the mod's should be sleeping in because what was going on tonight

Can't believe this nonsense has 15 pages!

After that comment I think it may be fair to say that someone's just happy to be getting some attention at this point.

How have you your own place if you've never had a proper job?

Do Littlewoods do houses now as well?

And yet, you need to tell the internet how great your life is at 11:30 on a Saturday night for validation. Enjoy your goods.
