need to return laptop and pc world are being pita

[newlifenewname]

My laptop is suffering several problems - on eof which is that drivers for cd are now failing to be recognised by machine, or summink.

Anyway, it is a pile of poo and i want to get a refund but they are telling me i have to accept 3 repairs (which could take up to 28 days without a loan laptop) before they'll refund or replace.

Now, I know this i show it works in FRance re. statutory rights but surely this is not the case here.

Goods not fit for purpose =refund, or no?

I have been crap about ringing as had visitors over the last couple of days - will try and do better this evening

Yes, you are entitled to a refund. The staff are likely told to try and get you to take repair, but keep pushing!

hello there LA, I haven't given up either. Have Felix's birthday outing tomorrow but otherwise free. Would quite like to come see you soon but my lot might be toooooo much!

Thanks for the above!
