Three months ago I ordered a device that came so broken, that it burnt my hands, my laptop and itself.
I'm not sure what it is... I think they're just reckless. I'd be very surprised if any firm orders their employees to refurbish broken devices and resell them broken without giving a shit.But in all seriousness, if you have proof of this its a MAJOR fraud and scam. This could harm people and cause fires if these devices are overheating and they are pulling this stunt!!
Actually I can't. It's an ex-communist country and there's no law for it. Superstars here still get harassed by media for entertainment's sakeThe sky is the limit. You hear about how big these cases are. And you can also sue on grounds for psychological damage since they made you feel worthless.
It's going to be forwarded by the consumer protection agency, they have to give a final in 60 days and ask me for decisions.Do you have a lawyer? Have they said what you are entitled to? Maybe this is the best route. I'd say you could get $10,000 upwards.
I thought about donating but it's not going to attract any media attention. If I do something crazy though, and get media coverage, people are going to get inspired to this kind of things on their own. Right now they just get embarrassed and that's it, they feel effortless and don't do shit.I dunno, I was going to come into this thread (without knowing what it was about) telling you to ask them to "spare you the embarrassment". But now that I've read it, I think you should just sue them for money which you could always fully/partially donate to something of your own choice. Asking for a 10% salary rise for employees' is probably not going to work.
It's actually quite a good idea. I'm going to try contacting other customers and pull off a class action suit.Well, they are prepared to pay whatever your damages are and since this is not a class action suit, the total amount could be capped.
I'll look into something similar, there are no consumer advocacy groups but I think there are some NGOs on this.Why not tie the settlement to a donation to a consumer advocacy group?
Get a lawyer that will work on a contingency. He will want to get the most money possible. (or she) In addition, do your research before hiring an attorney. Find one that can handle the case. Don't let the firm take more than 30%, and don't allow expenses. Good luck!
Yeah good luck finding an Attorney with those terms.
Good luck to you mate. I've just been in Court more times than I wish to share. I've lost cases I should have never lost; that nobody in the room would agree I should have lost yet a crooked Judge (later found out related to the defendant's Attorney) said no award. Anytime you're in Court there is nothing certain. It's like playing craps; you place your bet on an Attorney, argue a strong case but when the dice are rolled you might just crap out and lose it all. In real Court, the good guy doesn't always win no matter how solid the case. Seasoned Attorneys know this and unless they're about 90% sure they can get an out of court settlement they won't work on consignment. They know if they go to trial they might lose it all.
It's a right-hand traffic country. Can't drive that here. Sorry.
