re: PHILIPS T.V. - 32PW9527

It is with regret and total frustration that this letter has been addressed to yourselves.

After countless and numerous phone calls I still have had no joy with the TV which I purchased from yourselves, in good faith, on 17th November 2002. The TV is faulty, as confirmed by your engineer, the tube is going. Considering this is not the first fault from the above order number. Firstly the Philips DVD went faulty and had to be replaced and now the TV. It would appear that there is a problem with PHILIPS products as it is very unusual for a customer to have two faulty products bought at the same time.

Now to my point, like I said this TV was purchased from your company for the simple reason that Philips is a renowned make and in good faith from your company as we expected good guarantee and satisfaction with customers. It seems I was wrong on both the above points. This TV was bought for the whole family to enjoy Christmas and to follow the Cricket World Cup which only happens every four years (if this was from a customer who was a Football fanatic he or she would have been treated with the utmost and I say again utmost urgency!!!). I have followed your instructions to the letter by calliing in a technician who took one look at the TV screen and said the "the tube was faulty". He then announced that they would take the TV away for TWO (2) to THREE (3) weeks, just to see if it was worth repairing or not, and if I had any complaints to take it up with the Store (Comet - Milton Keynes). At the store I spoke to the Customer Service Manager who was, short and of no help a
t all, so I took it upon myself to spent the next four (4) hours phoning various departments of Philips and Comet.

After all this time wasted I am still no better off as no one including Directors has the gumption to make a decision to replace this set. I am now being penalised for trusting both Comet and Philips and will miss the entire World Cup due to something beyond my control thanks to Comets inefficency.

I trust you will look into this with the utmost urgency and get back to me with your comments on the aforesaid comments on 07740XXXXXX should you wish to resolve this matter.
