Hi everyone,
I was very recently (last week) foolishly talked into (had a misbehaving child and lost all common sense) signing up for a totally foolish Rental agreement for a laptop! I had thought I would own it at the end....but alas I get to pay over £900 for a £300 laptop.......and will never own it. Why oh why I fell for this I will never know, and on top of all this I realised after signing that I will have to pay extra for insuring it personally and that I was charged nearly £200 for a whatever happens mechanical cover lasting 2 years ( I never realised all of this and was not told I would be charged extra!!)
I do not have the laptop yet, as they had to prepare it - whatever that means so it is still in store and I have just made a deposit/first payment of £39.67......yesterday I recieved a phonecall from Mr salesman saying "you must have gone home with my paperwork and you need to bring it back/sign again?"
I said to him that I would have a look, but could not do it right away as I was busy... on looking at my paperwork I see I have the agreement with a photocopy of his signature and my signature in ink.
What do you recommend I do, and do you think I have a case for getting out of this? I really do hope so as I feel its all been a bit underhanded to be honest, although I do accept that I have been totally foolish and naive.
Thank you for reading and ~i do hope you can help!
