There wouldn't be any insurance you can claim via your credit card, Soozy?

Although I'm not sure Aimee's insurable....

GET PROTECTION IF THE COMPANY YOU BUY FROM GOES BUST

Buy something costing over £100 on a credit (NOT debit) card, and under theSection 75 law, your lender is jointly liable with the retailer. If the company goes kaput and you can't contact it about problems or any other issue, you have exactly the same consumer rights with the card company as you do with the retailer to get money back or compensation.

This applies even if you only pay a deposit on the card. Buy a £3,000 TV and pay just 10p on the credit card and, they'll hate us for telling you, but the card company's liable for the whole £3,000.

So if you're ordering an expensive product, do it on a credit card for safety, though of course ALWAYS pay it off in full to avoid interest. For more info including what counts as "spending £100" and how to make a claim, see the fullSection 75 & Visa Chargeback guide.

Let me think .... having thought, i realise - i have no idea

 Aww, poor Aims.

Soozy, as you can't find your receipt, would the transaction on your Credit Card statement be acceptable as proof of purchase?

I feel your pain Soozy, we bought ALL our kitchen appliances and TV from a local shop when we got our first home.  TV broke within 8 months so they replaced it, which broke again within another 5 months but because our initial purchase was over a year old they wouldn't do anything.  They shut up shop less than 2 months later and within a year and a half of us having them,  the cooker, washing machine and drier all went bang.  

Hope you get something sorted

Two appliances breaking down so quickly, poor you Soozy 

As KaffyBaffy mentioned, Martin Lewis's site is good for consumer advice. 

You could use the search facility or ask on the forums there [though they weren't that helpful when Pengy had tv probs].

Worth a try though?

Thank you all ...............I've managed to get the cooker sorted - i rang the manufacturers and the clock wasn't set after a power cut (believe it or not that affect one of the ovens). It broke a couple of weeks ago but I've been using the second oven.

As for the dishwasher ...i'm off to a site now - following a link from Els info

Thank you

And Aimee - I'm only kidding i love you really 

Good info Kaffy 

Awww 

White goods? Blummin' racists

I always get the blame and I have no idea why 

I have no sympathy for domestic appliance racist Soozy.

Would you refuse to buy a black fridge??!!

We have a yellowish fridge - made in japan LOL

Next it'll be a white supremacist microwave.

You swine!!

I'm not causing trubble - i'm standing up for the rights of multi coloured goods

I thought I'd got my cooker sorted - I haven't. Got to start again with the phone calls (my life is just too exhausting).

As for the dishwasher - I don't think there's much I can do - I read the page that Wl Loro posted - the make Proline is a Comet own brand - don't think there's any cover. I will get my sons handyman friend to have a look at it but ...............maybe it'll mean a new dishwasher. It certainly pays to buy a good brand IMO - it's just that I was buying everything at once and cut corners on that

I do miss my dishwasher - my nail polish looks awful all chipped - it really isn't on 

Marigolds

Yeah but I like to get stuck in - I find Marigolds a bit inhibiting - I imagine it must be something like wearing a condom

Soozy, as you bought the dishwasher less than a year ago I would have thought it was covered by the ordinary warranty period.

Apparently not El - it was a 'comet' own brand - imported from abroad - there is no after sales service. I can apparently get it fixed than then put in a claim to the creditors but that's about it. The thing is ........I don't even have proof of purchase - very strange indeed as I keep all my e mails. I have an e mail asking me to rate my purchase and I have another one saying would I like to purchase what I'd recently put into my basket. I thought I'd sent a copy to our accountant but I hadn't. Also it was bought on a company debit card NOT credit card.

I suppose if I really dug my heels in and did a bit of detective worlk I might get something but ............don;t know really. Apparently the parts are difficult to come by as it is a foreign manufacturer who were making this dishwasher exclusively for Comet (laskys) who are now no more.

Soozy, you are right. I've seen the notice from the administrators of Comet confirming that the ordinary warranty will not be met for Proline items as they were from abroad. They do say that you can apply as an unsecured creditor to the administrators for the cost of repairs.

The link to their creditors letter is:

http://www.deloitte.com/view/e...00003456f70aRCRD.htm

The PDF file there includes the proof of debt form and a questionaire which you would have to complete.

However I think you are unlikely to get any of the money back as the Directors Statement of Affairs shows that there is a deficit of funds for the secured creditors meaning that there is nothing left for the unsecured creditors though it does say they would pay them 1p in the pound under the proposals.

I've taken this from this link

which goes into much greater detail.

Thank you El ............I didn't do the 'heavier' reading but I think it is a bit of a lost cause. I'm hoping it may be simple to fix - until now I haven't allowed anyone to tamper with it but now I don't seem to have anything to lose.

It's an integrated model and the control panel is on the top - I pressed one of the buttons and it sort of collapsed into itself.

Soozy, I agree with you that I think it's a lost cause. Even if you did make a claim for the cost of repairs, the 1p in the £1 that you might get makes the hassles involved in making the claim just too much work for very little return and it would be months if not years before you got any money.
