I have a problem with a Dealer PDF Print E-mail

Q. I have a problem with with my dealer

A. If this is to do with the purchase of a mobile, then you should contact the dealer first to try to sort things out, you could also contact the Manager or Director of the company to inform them of the problem.  In many cases talking to higher management can resolve the issue.

If you have have a problem with rudeness or an unwillingness to do anything then you can write to us giving full details and we wil write to them for you.

If you unable to resolve your problem, then you may wish to take it to one of the bodies set up to help, such as Trading Standards, Consumer Direct or Ofcom.

Always try to resolve the issue with the dealer first and ensure that you put everything in writing so you have a record.  The dealer will do all they can to resolve issues, but in many cases this can come down to a mistake by the customer, or where the customer has not understood even if this was clearly explained at the time.

If the problem lies with an order placed online i.e. through a distance sale, then talk to the dealer, and if you were told that the conversation was being recorded then ask for the recording to be played back to you.  In many cases this resolves the issues especially if you have agreed to an order or some details of the order but forgotton it later.

Message from the Chairman IMPDA

6thumb_002.jpg

 On behalf of the IMPDA and its team I would like to wish all UK dealers/distributors/networks a very Happy New Year 2009.

We wish all dealers good luck for 2009 and that their business continues to survive in 2009 after what has been a very difficult last quarter of 2008.  Dealers this year need all the help they can get, and we hope that Mobile Network Operators will help to keep the independent dealer alive and well in 2009 and maybe offer special deals which will help to bring more business to the independent sector.

The future for dealers this year may be more difficult due to the economic climate, however dealers are tough and many will survive this difficult time.  Despite the gloom, consumers are using their mobiles more and more, and although their may be a slight downturn, it;' not as bad as some sectors. That does not mean that dealers can be complacent. If anything diversification is the word this year, with more dealers taking on additional products to sell, and not just mobiles.  Suppliers can also help dealers achieve additional sales, If suppliers would like to help UK dealers then please contact us to discuss.

Happy New Year to you all

Chris Caudle

Chairman IMPDA
