Richard Durkin wins 16-year laptop credit wrangle with HFC bank

BBC News - Richard Durkin wins 16-year laptop credit wrangle with HFC bank

In 2008 Aberdeen Sheriff Court ruled that he was entitled to reject the laptop and cancel the sale and the credit agreement and awarded damages of £116,000.

The decision was overturned later by judges at the Court of Session in Edinburgh after Mr Durkin himself appealed against the size of the damages.

"Damages resulting from HFC's breach of its duty of care are confined to injury to Mr Durkin's credit in the sum of £8,000.

Richard Durkin: "I've got myself in a lot of debt seeing this through"

Dumb ass of the week! ...

Maybe, but all the same doggedly taking on a large arrogant corporation and winning is worthy of respect IMHO

Sometime I'll tell the story of how I came within hours of freezing the bank accounts of Transport for London, only stopped by frantic phone calls from their legal department and a grovelling apology and refund

Now is a good time...

No time this morning. Also, it was about ten years ago and I'll have to try and remember all the details.

Leave it with me for now ..

but it was to clear his credit rating.

He returned the laptop as not as described they wanted to hang on to the HP deal rather than cancelling. They could of come to an agreement years ago and not hurt his credit rating.
