Consumer Rights Act Guidance

Summary

Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, goods must be satisfactory and fit for purpose. Within 6 months, faults are presumed present at delivery unless proven otherwise. An independent report can strengthen your claim but isnt mandatory. The Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) considers cases based on available evidence. Providing purchase receipts, correspondence, and photos/videos can support your claim. The burden of proof is generally on the seller/lender within the first 6 months. Consider reaching out to Citizens Advice for additional support and guidance.

If i dont get an independent report so you think fos would atill approve my claim ita still less than 6 months
It's important to provide as much evidence as possible to support your claim with the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS). While they might still consider your case, an independent report could strengthen your position. It helps demonstrate the issues with the laptops objectively. Would you like guidance on finding an independent expert for the report?
Where can i get one for free
Finding a free independent expert report might be challenging, as such services typically charge a fee. However, you could check if any local consumer rights organizations or advice centers offer free or low-cost services. You might also consider contacting Citizens Advice for further guidance on your options.

While it's possible to win a case with the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) without an independent report, having one can significantly strengthen your claim by providing objective evidence. FOS can consider your situation and any other supporting documentation you provide, but an independent report would be beneficial. Consider reaching out to Citizens Advice for additional support.

Case Rating: *
In England, under the Consumer Rights Act *, goods must be of satisfactory quality and fit for purpose. Within the first 6 months of purchase, if a fault arises, it's presumed to have been there at delivery unless proven otherwise. An independent report can support your claim, but isn't always mandatory.

Case Rating: *
If you choose not to provide an independent report, the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) will still consider your case based on the information you provide. However, having an independent report could bolster your claim by providing objective evidence. It is not mandatory but can be influential.
Can i still win fos without one. The burden of proof on the lender not consumer
Case Rating: *
While the burden of proof can be on the lender within the first 6 months regarding the quality of goods, providing an independent report strengthens your case. FOS could rule in your favor without it, but the evidence helps. Consider providing any other documentation or support you have.

In your situation, you could provide the following additional documentation to support your claim:

- Purchase receipts
- Correspondence with AO and NewDay
- Photos/videos demonstrating the faults
