Brought a pc from tiny many moons ago....from day one it was a pile of rubbish...not the specified model, not a flat screen as promised, the hard drive is not the specified standard, does not have the correct graphics card...quite frankly the list is endless....I have been trying from day one and over a number of years now to get this rectified....promises of help, replacement, etc have not been forthcoming....I am now being hounded by a credit company for monies still owing on a quite frankly useless pile of rubbish and that is putting it mildly. My question is where do I stand? How do I get this rectified and am I still liable to pay for something that is not what I ordered, that has not been rectified, that is totally not what I wanted.....years and years have passed, me trying, them doing NOTHING. Why should I pay for to a company that has gone capput? Am I still liable and if I am, where is my money going to?? Why can't I get any help or answers....please you guys , help me out?

Yes you do have to pay - if it wasn't what you ordered you should have returned it immediately not kept it for so long. You're being pursued by the debt collection people because the company went bust but you still owe money to their creditors.
For help and advice contact your local citizens advice bureau:

Hope this helps!

You should not have taken the computer in the first place. By doing that you entered into a contract. Also if you have finance, that will be from different company & your finacial obligations are with them. As they have done no wrong you must pay. Ring your local cizizens information centre. But to be honest, as you said many moons ago. Its tough cheese!

The credit card companies should be backing you up on this.
Write a letter to them disputing the charge, that should protect you in court.

You should have returned it immediately! By keeping it, you now own it, possession being 9/10ths of the law and all, you must pay for your possession. If you would have returned it, they couldn't charge you for it! Live and learn, my dear! And keep receipts and emails verifying payments made (burn to disks and label and store them securely!). Now you know! But don't worry, it's not illegal to be broke, for their records. Keep your cash off the radar! In most likelihood, you will not be jailed. Just discriminated against for your lack of good credit! America is wonderful isn't it? Whomever dies owing the most WINS!

It would be a great world if we all bought something, then didn't like it and stopped paying for it. Get your hand in your pocket and pay for it.
