Should she replace it? Part 3

[Langarg]

I can’t believe we have a part 3 🤣 this has provided some lighthearted entertainment at a time where I’m feeling really let down by someone I considered a good friend. So thank you! I have posted an update on thread 2, will post it here also.

I have sent the following text message ‘Having reflected on what you have said, how the airwrap was lost/broken or otherwise is irrelevant. I considered asking you for pictures of the broken airwrap or asking to speak to your sister to ask her what happened but it will get us nowhere. All that matters is I am down a Dyson airwrap and I want a new replacement. You’ll need to either transfer me the £399 tonight to pay for this or purchase it yourself from boots and send me the email receipt this evening. You can then sort out with your sister whether she is going to contribute to the cost of it. We can then put this behind us’

I have no interest in maintaining the friendship after this for obvious reasons. I am worried that she’s seen the thread (how can she not have 🤣) and knows this fine well so will have no intention of replacing it sadly.

I don’t think I’ll ever get the truth (was there even a wedding at this rate?! 🤣) all that matters to me now is getting a replacement airwrap!!!!

Bored?
I'm nominating the threads for classics.

Cheeky fuckery of the highest order plus a track record of similar from the friend' and the OP finding the courage to deal with it head on.

I'm here for hopefully a good final outcome.

It really is a good deal, go to Dyson customer services and ring them, you need their serial number and the item. They try ver the phone to fix it with you there. If they can't for £99 (that's for straighteners l, I am sure it's similar for airwraps) they arrange a courier to swap them with a refurbished model.

It is an excellent little known service.

But the key is to get your airwrap back! Which might not be easy to do.

I also on a side note would not keep this situation from your mutual friends, I think they need to be aware of her thieving nature! Also I would not be surprised if she isn't already dragging your name through the mud- 'oh she ruined my wedding' etc etc.

I've just clicked on this thread but can see it's moved on since the first thread.

Can anyone fill me in?

Did the friend say that the Air wrap was broken in the end?

Just to add OP, I fully expect her new DH or one of her family members to contact you at some point saying that all of this has left her incredibly stressed and upset and for her own mental health she is unable to reply etc. I don’t think she’s got another card to pull so just be prepared she might try this! Hold strong! Xx

I think I'd buy it myself at the best deal I could find at the moment and if money is not forthcoming send the pre-action letter for the full cost.

Is this the one @Langarg ?

As I clarified eight posts later 😉

Not read the full threads but could she be lying about it being damaged/lost and instead have sold it @Langarg ?

If you click on any of Op's posts and then click on See all then you can just read the OP's posts detailing her friend's responses, which will bring you up to date without trawling through everyone else's posts.

Apologies if you already know this and just want someone to précis the so called friends's responses.

😂😂😂😂

What's so funny?

She has thrown her sister under the bus for breaking it

What a sad end to a 15 year friendship.

This could have been avoided so easily.

OP I fucked up. I lent my sister your hair wrap and she broke it. I'm so sorry. I will replace it ASAP.

(IF, AGAIN, that's even true)

What was she expecting. To just never mention it/string you on forever with a Agatha Christie novel about hotel thieves...

Stand your ground OP.

Who knows whats true. Im questioning whether there was even a wedding at this point- does she even have a partner! 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣🤔

Oh - were you serious?!!

I thought you were doing the "cancel the cheque" joke. I didnt think after 3 threads and 1000s of posts you would think that no-one would have suggested that 100s of times

Just a theory.
Friend longed for the airwrap and was impressed with it.
She decided to keep it for a bit longer maybe over Christmas/NY, afterall she'd just got married and everyone ought to be nice to her and the OP wasn't chasing her as such.
That is initially why she strung out the return.
She then got used to having it and started to feel it was hers - why shouldn't it be hers. What does the OP need it back for, she can afford it etc...

She's got form for being a CF and delaying payments etc until people give up and decide its not worth it, so she felt with a bit of delay etc that the OP being generous would agree to write it off as a wedding present as this had worked with smaller bills in the past.
She made up a story to see how far she'd get but then realised from the OP's reaction that she'd dug herself into a hole,

She was aware of the Boots offer but wouldn't go for that because by then she was annoyed that the OP kept asking for her property or the money back and this was "taking the shine off her wedding" ( entirely her own fault)

there's the breakage theory but It feels like a difficult item to "break" or if it was she could google repair and find out that its not that difficult. She hasn't done that either.
I don't think she would have sold it. That takes organisation and effort and she really really wanted to borrow it in the first place, probably more than the cash.

She previously said she would pay for replacement on credit card but that would get her into debt. Credit card spending is debt. It's really a pre agreed loan. £500 is a lot to lose and replace but it can be paid back at her own pace into the credit card. She said she was willing to repay OP for the cheap version over several months, so CC was her best option really, to resolve the matter without "taking the shine" off her own wedding. But she doesn't really want to do that.
She thinks the OP will be swayed by this.

She's now Playing the Ostrich, hoping if she doesn't reply OP will give up and go away, ditch the friendship as the Friend no longer wants the hassle of being confronted with her CFery and she's seen that OP is no longer being the useful pushover.

Now she's ghosting you OP, I think you should initiate the court proceeding. You will probably get a resolution way before getting to court. People around her will be so fed up of this by now, since it is probably all in aid of covering up her dishonesty that they will tell her to just settle and move on.

@Langarg Sorry she did not buy on the Boots offer. If you cannot use the dyson fix thing this is the best offer I can find for you £419

She can be taken to the small claims court and that will affect her credit in the future. It's up to her if she pays or not but then she will be left with bad credit.

It's such a shame when people are heartless enough to find this sort of situation entertaining (it really isn't, the OP must feel absolutely betrayed after 15 years of friendship)) but to have the lack of social filter to come on here and boast about it.

Yes, the consensus is yes!

"Can I ask does she have a job? A car not on finance? Does her DH? (although someone else said married people arent liable not sure if thats true)." I said it and it is true. For example, if your spouse enters into a contract, say a loan agreement, in their sole name, that does not make their spouse liable for the repayments just because they're married. In this case, OP lent the AirWrap to CF, not CF's DH, so OP has no course of action against him.

Angelic Katy has the best advice for OP. Sending the CF a ‘letter before action’ is the best course of action and she lays out what to include which is helpful.

You have made it onto bored panda now too lol www.boredpanda.com/friend-lost-dyson-airwrap-doesnt-refuses-replace-it/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&utm_term=BP_166273&utm_campaign=Bored+Panda&utm_content=image&fbclid=IwY2xjawHk09JleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHeFcYikcEExjifhE7eFBB0Fl4Q8nBKDOi2FpeRSup8yDxA_MkhcxSBeYlA_aem_UfLXsnyqbuooaPBUxaNAtQ

Really? That does make sense because you often see on those bailiff programs, if the person is married but the debt is in one persons name and the car in the other they cant take the car if it is confirmed it is theirs.

Bummer for the OP if CF doesnt work.

This is really childish. Kkloo isn’t the CF, she’s been around for a long time.

Only if; the woman is not giving the freaking object back.
