Full transcript
Before we look at your options, can you walk me through what happened when you ordered the laptop from Officeworks three weeks ago, Ms Xasan?
Saddex toddobaad ka hor ayaan online kaga iibsaday laptop shirkadda Officeworks, waxaana bixiyay afar boqol iyo konton doollar. Wali ima soo gaarin, oo laba jeer ayaan la soo xiriiray iibiyaha, balse jawaab lama i siin.
Did you contact the seller afterward, and do you have any written record, like emails or messages, showing what you agreed to?
Haa, waan haystaa dhammaan emailyadii aan u diray iibiyaha, laakiin mid kastaba jawaab lama helin. Waxaan ka baqayaa inaan lumiyo lacagtayda haddii aanan wax caawimaad ah helin.
If the seller doesn't respond properly to your written complaint, you can lodge a formal complaint with NSW Fair Trading for assistance.
Haddii aan cabasho u gudbiyo NSW Fair Trading, maxaa dhici doona ka dib? Ma jiraan wax tallaabo ah oo ay sameyn karaan si ay iiga caawiyaan?
NSW Fair Trading will try to help both sides reach a fair agreement; if that doesn't resolve things, you may apply to NCAT instead.
Haddii aysan xaalku xallin, ma tahay inaan tago NCAT? Ma qaali baa, mise waxay u baahan tahay inaan qareen la yeesho?
The NCAT application fee is quite low, and you don't need a lawyer, so you can represent yourself comfortably at the hearing.
Waa maxay caddaynta aan u baahanahay inaan haysto? Ma ku filan tahay emailyada iyo rasiidkayga, mise wax kale ayaan u baahanahay?
Keep every email, the receipt, and any screenshots you have — that evidence will support your case whether it's mediation or a tribunal hearing later.
Waad ku mahadsantahay caawimadan. Maanta ayaan soo ururin doonaa dhammaan waraaqaha, emailyada, iyo rasiidka si aan u diyaariyo cabashada.

Practise it
