We ordered a school leavers hoodie for our dd, at a cost of nearly £20.
The PTA were in charge all proceeds going to the school, we recently changed DD surname however old surnames is now a middle name.
So we asked for previous surname and new one to be on it so the kids in class would know who it was and it would have the new surname we legally have to use on too.
The front has the initials on and is correct, both surnames.
The back is completely wrong.
They've left out punctuation within her name, and it only includes her old surname.
The school are claiming it is the PTA's fault, PTA are claiming it is a data protection issue (although it was handed from 1 person to the next to another) and that they couldn't clarify names however we confirmed it via facebook and have screenshots, we are not the only one to have a child with an incorrect name on the hoodie.
The pta and school are refusing to recall the hoodies or communicate with us or update us. Yet they've updated another parent and told them the wrong name will be scraped off and the right one stuck on top (it will look shit).
AIBU to expect all hoodies to be recalled and corrected? Her friends will have the wrong name on.
Also we the leavers are wearing theirs but the children without correct named hoodies have had them taken and are left out. This is causing other kids to laugh at these pupils.
The pta member who royally f up, her child is blaming the parents for giving her mother the wrong spellings etc and is intimidating the kids.
The school arent touching the issue with a barge pole.
Do I have rights as a consumer?
