Teljoy thinks they are above the CPA

An item was delivered on Thursday, 7 November 2025, under a rental agreement facilitated via Teljoy.

We only used the item for the first time on Sunday, 9 November, and immediately discovered that it was defective and did not match the description provided on Teljoy platform. My Wife acontacted Teljoy to report the issue on Monday,7 November 2025, and was informed that she would be subject to a cancellation fee and a 30-day notice period.

We find this response entirely unacceptable and in direct violation

I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding an item delivered to my wife on Thursday, 7 November 2025, under a rental agreement facilitated via Teljoy.

We only used the item for the first time on Sunday, 9 November, and immediately discovered that it was defective and did not match the description provided on your platform. I contacted Teljoy to report the issue, and was informed that we would be subject to a cancellation fee and a 30-day notice period.

We find this response entirely unacceptable and in direct violation of the Consumer Protection Act (CPA).

Teljoy was informed of the Consumer Protection Act (CPA) requirements but their response remains the same.

Hello Karen 

 Thank you for bringing this to our attention. 

We understand your concern regarding the condition of the unit delivered on 7 November, and we appreciate you notifying us as soon as the issue was discovered. We can confirm that any product that is found to be defective on delivery is fully investigated by our technical and quality teams to determine the appropriate resolution. 

Please note that our standard cancellation and notice procedures apply only once a product has been inspected and confirmed to be in working order. In cases where a unit is reported as faulty shortly after delivery, the matter is escalated for assessment, and no cancellation fees are app**** until the investigation is completed.
 Our team is currently reviewing the information provided, along with the details of the delivery and the reported fault. A consultant from our technical department will contact you with feedback and the next steps. 

We appreciate your patience while we work to resolve this for you.

This response entirely unacceptable and in direct violation of the Consumer Protection Act (CPA) 68 of 2008, specifically:
Section 56 of the CPA provides an imp**** warranty of quality for up to 6 months after delivery.
If goods are defective or not as described, the consumer has the right to return the item and request a refund, replacement, or repair — without penalty.
The CPA overrides any internal company policy that imposes cancellation fees or notice periods in such cases.

So Teljoy has waived the cancellation fee, thank you.

But what about the pro- rata fee and collection date being 28/11?
