Breach of CPA

<p>Last year on the 17/12/2016 I purchased a cellphone from Ackermans Gateway , on the 05/01/17 I returned the phone because it switched off and never came back on. I did the return in Ackermens Plaza, I was told I will get a response in 3weeks ,on the 21/01/17 I spoke to someone from the store and she mentioned the phone can't be fixed and I will get further information about what they planning to do as they can't contact the manufacturer. I made numerous calls to the Phoenix branch and kept getting the run around up until today.93 days have passed since I returned the phone and STILL not a word from Ackermans. This is a Breach of contract according to CPA regarding transparency on this issue . This is unacceptable for the store and affiliated brands to be portraying this behavior .<br /> <br /> <br /> </p>

Reviewer Update

In regards to a callback, someone did call me as a representative from Ackamens saying that this matter will be resolved on Tuesday as they are waiting for a REF number, it is past Tuesday and I haven't received any feedback. This is extremely appalling.

Reviewer Update

Words cannot justify my anger. 103 days to wait for a refund will send any consumer on a war path

Cpa: if an item cannot be repaired the customer is entitled to a refund to exchange

Ackermans : the phone cannot be fixed

Me : at this point I opted for an exchange

Ackermans : Cut the phone call rudely

Ever since I called the store the person I submitted my return to is off sick or not available to speak
