Full transcript
Could you walk me through exactly what happened this morning when you tried to return the faulty phone to the store staff?
Comprei um telemóvel Samsung há três semanas na loja JB Hi-Fi, em Adelaide. A tela trava constantemente, mas o gerente só ofereceu conserto, não reembolso.
Under Australian Consumer Law, if a fault is considered major, you're entitled to choose a full refund or replacement, not merely a repair.
Mas ele disse que teriam de enviar o aparelho para conserto, e isso pode demorar até um mês. Isso é justo?
That's not necessarily reasonable under consumer law. I'd suggest contacting Consumer and Business Services SA for free, independent advice before agreeing to any repair.
Como entro em contacto com eles? Preciso levar algum documento específico?
Bring your original receipt, the exact purchase date, and written notes of everything the manager told you when you call CBS SA tomorrow.
Vou ligar amanhã de manhã. Estou preocupada em ter de pagar mais se decidirem trocar o telemóvel por outro modelo.
If CBS SA can't resolve this informally within a few weeks, you can lodge a formal claim with SACAT, the state's consumer tribunal.
Quanto custa abrir um processo no SACAT? Não tenho muito dinheiro sobrando neste momento.
There's usually a small filing fee, but it's often waived for concession card holders, and you generally won't need a lawyer to attend.
Obrigada pela ajuda. Vou ligar para o CBS SA amanhã e guardar todos os documentos, como o recibo e as mensagens.

Practise it
Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The free daily dialogue on this site plays each segment at native speed, records you, and marks the information you transferred against the same categories examiners use — omissions, distortions, insertions — so you know where the marks went.
