Full transcript
Could you please walk me through exactly what went wrong with the new phone, and why the store is refusing a refund?
મેં ત્રણ અઠવાડિયા પહેલાં ચેટ્સવુડમાં જેબી હાઇ-ફાઇમાંથી નવો ફોન ખરીદ્યો હતો, પણ સ્ક્રીન વારંવાર ફ્રીઝ થઈ જાય છે અને દુકાનવાળા કહે છે કે એ સોફ્ટવેરની સમસ્યા છે, રિફંડ નહીં આપે.
Did you happen to keep the original receipt, and do you remember the exact date you purchased the phone?
રસીદ તો ખોવાઈ ગઈ છે, પણ મારી પાસે બેંક સ્ટેટમેન્ટ છે જેમાં ઓગસ્ટની ચૌદ તારીખની ખરીદી બતાવે છે. ફોનનું બોક્સ પણ મારી પાસે નથી.
Under Australian Consumer Law, a major fault like a randomly freezing screen entitles you to a refund or replacement, whether or not you kept the receipt.
જો દુકાનવાળા ફરીથી ના પાડે તો હું શું કરું?
In that case, you first lodge a formal complaint with NSW Fair Trading, and if the store still refuses, you can apply to NCAT for a hearing.
NCATમાં અરજી કરવા માટે કેટલો સમય લાગશે અને ખર્ચ કેટલો થશે?
The NCAT application fee is fairly modest, and once you lodge it, they usually schedule a hearing within about six to eight weeks.
શું મારે NCAT માટે વકીલ રાખવો પડશે કે નહીં?
No, you don't need a lawyer for NCAT — the tribunal is designed for people to represent themselves, though you're welcome to bring a support person.
સારું, તો હું વકીલ વગર જ અરજી કરીશ. ખૂબ આભાર તમારો.
