Hi guys,
Just looking for some advice here. Here's the situation.
On the 19th January I picked up an Xperia Z1 on an O2 Refresh tariff. It had to go back to the store a day later because the screen was extremely yellow and was basically faulty. (It worsened as the day went on)
On the 20th I returned to the store and decided to opt for a different handset entirely. This time a HTC One.
All was well for around a week, until the camera gradually developed a nasty fault.
As you can see here. http://i.imgur.com/GSPSvqG.jpg and http://i.imgur.com/lvoOs3f.jpg
A lot of my pictures have a nasty purple tint in them. Black and white surface to highlight the issue.
I called the store and asked about swapping the handset over again this coming Saturday. (1st February) and by my calculation that is exactly 14 days.
They claim that because I have already had one exchange, the till may not allow them to process another and I would have to contact HTC. Well I did that, and they are offering a refurb, which I have refused. Not having a refurb for a 2 week old phone.
The policy states; "If there’s a fault with your purchase
In the first 14 days: we’ll either give you a replacement or your money back. You’ll need proof of purchase, all the original parts, any accessories or free gifts and if available, packaging. "
I want to return the handset and cancel the whole thing, I am done with mobile phones for now. Will live without one and everyone who wants to contact me, can send me an email.
How can the store clearly not understand their own policy? Am I in the wrong here??
Solved! Go to Solution.

Does this area manager not possess a mobile phone he should be available to his store managers at all times
This mysterious individual was on their way to Edinburgh apparently.
Probably can't get a signal.

Don't forget your offer of help from Toby that was made a good few hours ago....
Appreciate that, but what can he sort out today for me? Not a lot.
I just called the store and the staff member relayed the message it still hasn't been sorted.
I'm going down there, I have had enough. 30 minute bus ride and it's pouring down with rain. I can see myself leaving the store without a phone at all.

I hope you get it sorted.
Don't leave the store until a staff member gets thru to the correct person that will be able to sort it out for you!

You'll never know unless you give him the chance, although it's getting late now, I admit....

SORTED!!!
Was on the bus into town when I got a call to say it won't get sorted today, he hadn't had a response.
Was already nearly there, so I went in any way. I took the sim out, wiped the phone, stuck it in the box and basically explained I was cancelling the direct debit and they could do whatever they wanted with the phone. They were then going on about how they would just have to DPD it back to me, to which I replied I would refuse delivery. lol
All calm in tone. While talking he got a message through with authorisation, so an hour and half later it is all sorted.
Phew!

Was this in Nottingham by any chance? I'm fairly sure I overheard this conversation with my manager today, if so glad you got it sorted, sounded like a bit of a mess...
