SCS & Creation Loan

Re: SCS & Creation Loan

I seem to remember a while ago a batch of leather sofas that were covered in a poisonous substance that caused a lot of skin issues some of which were real bad.

It was about 18 months ago and the fungicide was dimethyl fumarate inside porous sachets in the cushions.

I am sure SCS and Argos where involved.

Argos and World of Leather.

Re: SCS & Creation Loan

When we moved we thought we'd ditch all our old furniture (was all less than 3yrs old anyway) and buy everything new ready for moving in.....

We used Harvey's - got bugger all discount and waited the grand total of 21 weeks for the sofa etc. in the end we cancelled the rest as we had an empty house.

Since that, I don't trust any of the dirty bastards. They import most of it from India at a 6000% mark-up. Quite disgraceful really.

Re: SCS & Creation Loan

Trading standards didn't bother. I had to speak to consumer people and they just told me what to write...

I have spoken to Creation who actually feel a bit sorry for me but, they want their money and that is that.

I know about all the complaints with SCS after I had the problems as I always google!

What happens now? Can I do anything about this?

I knew I wouldn't be the only one that had bad dealings with them.

I have never bought a sofa from any company like that before and I had just come from hospital and decided to look at SCS on the way back home. It was the Manager that sold it and to be honest it was a a bit of a stupid thing for me to do but, I needed a sofa as I could no longer use mine as it was too old and had no support for my back.

I asked Creation if they would pay for a sofa after whats happened and they said absolutely no way! Not really helpful to me though!

Re: SCS & Creation Loan

Jen ... What happened with you and SCS? (if you dont mind me asking?)

Re: SCS & Creation Loan

Hmm I'd be inclined to let them pursue it via court if they wanted to then you get to tell the judge the whole story and hope he understands your argument. Let's be honest, you've bloody tried.

This is a mess. If it was me I'd just stop paying and say fuckoff. Seriously, I would.

Re: SCS & Creation Loan

Hi Niddy,

I haven't paid anything yet due to them having to change the finance dates around with Creation. I am inclined to do what you have just said.

I cant believe why TS are even there! They are not interested in anything and do not help you at all. I had a run in with TS last year about a very bad plumber and they said I hadn't even called them when I had all the details of the person I spoke to and incident number or whatever it is they give you....

Re: SCS & Creation Loan

Oh.. and another thing. Creation are now charging me £25 per letter they send to me.

Re: SCS & Creation Loan

Flossy,

This would only go to a small claims court and thus the burden of proof is on SCS, no judge in there right mind after the shite they have given you would give them judgment.

Re: SCS & Creation Loan

But it would be Creation that takes me to court. SCS sold it with the finance of Creation and them walk away and ignore the problem as they have been paid... ????

Re: SCS & Creation Loan

Sorry I didn't say Hi POP...

Re: SCS & Creation Loan

Sorry yes Creation would take you to court, but you could call SCS to court as a witness

Are they indeed?

That just shews how "sympathetic" they really are ... NOT!

Perhaps the time has come to remind Creation of their responsibilities under section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 (link) whereby they are jointly and severally liable along with Shitty Couches and Sofas for that company's performance - or inadequate performance - of the sales contract.

Under what contract term(s) are Creation imposing that charge? It seems to me that it may be held to be an unfair contract term.

So take SCS and Creation to court first!
