Fraud/Online Fraud/No refund/Bad service


06-Jan-2023 (In Criminal Law)
Have seen furniture ad in Facebook Marketplace, visited the shop and ordered mysore teakwood sofa cum bed and study table. Sofa was Rs 28000 & study table was Rs 12000. We paid Rs 30000 as advance. Delivery date was Nov 4, after that we had been following up, they were not ready to refund the amount nor were delivering. Study table was being made from plywood so we cancelled it & asked them to deliver sofa.Although we were not happy with that as well but thought of just finishing the matter. They delivered sofa cum bed frame on Dec 11 & mentioned cushions would be delivered tomorrow as they couldnt bring it due to rains. We have been following up for cushions since then. Now they are telling to refund the cushion amount to us which is not acceptable to us since sofa is of no use to us without cushions. Either they take sofa & refund us the entire amount else complete the hinges work & cushion on sofa. But it doesnt look like they have any intentions of doing either of this. Pls advise.

Issue a legal notice and avail a refund. A legal notice should suffice to get them to refund. If they don’t, you have the option to approach the consumer court which would time a considerable time and cost an additional amount in case you want to hire an advocate. However, given the magnitude of the case, this is something you can file and appear by yourself and don’t require an advocate for, necessarily. Get your legal notice issued through an advocate and use the same and convert (so that it’s complaint with the consumer protection act) that into a complaint and file it in consumer forum and don’t really need an advocate thereafter

Immediately register the complaint against them for cheating and try to freeze the account which amount was transferred if it’s registered company you can approach consumer forum as an alternative remedy , before proceeding kindly consult any advocate.
