Problem with mobiles.co.uk

Anonymous
Not applicable

I took out a 24 month contract with Mobiles.co.uk in January 2014, Im now on my 3rd Lumia 1020, the previous 2 both had the same problem, the camera failing and getting extremely hot, the one I'm using at the moment has started getting really hot so I put it on my windowsil to cool down, I went to the toilet and when I came back our cat was sat on the windowsil but my phone wasnt, I looked out of the window and saw it on the floor, I immediately panicked and went and got my phone, went back upstairs and had a look at it, the only damage to it was a couple of scuff marks on the casing and the bottom left of the screen is starting to pop out, I got onto mobiles.co.uk straight away but their live chat was down so I spoke to a really nice guy called Rick and explained to him what had happened, he told me I should take it into the carphone warehouse, so I did, the guy behind the counter was really rude as I showed him the printout of the chat with Rick and he said "doesnt make any difference to me"

He also said he could send the phone away to be repaired but they would only repair it if the screen was smashed and they wouldnt if it wasnt smashed.

I got back onto mobiles.co.uk and spoke to David and told him about the guy in the carphone warehouse and he  said  I am sorry about the troubles you have had and seems like you have had contradictory information. If your handset is faulty (especially overheating) then you do in fact need to visit Carphone Warehouse. If they are telling you to come to us, then you need to ask them to call us so we can explain to them about the repair period, I asked for a manager callback, he took my number and said a manager would call me back within 2 hours, I never got a call back

 

Ive told mobiles.co.uk that Im not happy as this is the 3rd Lumia 1020 Ive had, all with the same problem

 

Can someone please help me and advise where I stand with regards to this

 

Thanks

Perhaps the O should read Adam's excellent guide re SOGA and Warranties. slight_smile

A no nonsense approach can be good, heaven knows I am normally a bull in a China shop on many things in life, but we do have to remember that the written word can be easily misunderstood or come across in a way different to that intended.

Rather that than the waffle, repetitive and padded out posts we often see.

At the end of the day people engage in their own way.

This is one of the things that make a forum.

I'm sure if the OP had been upset etc by any reply then they would have said so ,or contacted a moderator.

Got a callback from the escalations team at mobiles.co.uk who offered an exchange, which I accepted, even my dad was shocked as he said that I wouldnt get any joy at all
