- Wow! Seems like the company is having problems!!!
-
- I had troubles like this when I ordered an internal HD for my Amiga from
- an (ex) English company by the name of "WTS ELECTRONICS".
-
- My hard drive took 9 MONTHS TO COME!!! And the only reason we got it
- through in the end was because my mother and myself had issued them with
- court action. We even had the court dates through and then they finally
- gave in.
-
- I got my HD from them just in time as a few weeks later they were raided
- by the fraud squad....
-
- 6 months or so went by and we got a letter from the police in the area
- where WTS were located asking us if we were prepared to go to court
- to testify and also if we had any information. We were both prepared to
- go to court and had a huge ring binder full of letters etc.
-
-
- Ok, thats my experience, here's some advice....
-
- 1- contact your local Citizen's advice beaurau (if they have them in the US)
- and expain your situation to them. These are an excellent source of help.
-
- 2- If you send ANY letters to the company make sure you keep a copy
- yourself.
-
- 3- if you make any phone calls to the company make notes of the date the
- call was made, time, and also who you spoke to.
-
- 4- If any promises are made by the company make notes of these and who said
- them.
-
- 5- Contact the magazine you saw the advert to see if they can help or put
- you in contact with any other people who have had problems with that
- company.
-
-
- Well, I hope this has given you a few more ideas. If you want some more
- help e-mail me at my address and we can perhaps discuss the matter
- further.
-
- I know what it's like to be treated this way!
-
- Cheers,
- Robert.
