Reviewer Update

I doubt anything will happen , after i published this complain i received a call from the Russels Southgate store manager on the 09/09/2016 , he said he wanted to confirm if it was me , and he will call me back im still waiting for his call and on the 12/09/2016 i received a call from a lady , she did not leave her name she wanted to know which store we opened the laybye from . we been through this road before , where they say they will invistigate , they been doing that for the past three months , i don't understand why they don't want to refund us our money , we did not take any of their products .
