Noacc, just a couple things if I may. Strictly Legally speaking, a good amount of what you’re saying is inaccurate. The best example I can think of is buying that sweet new car you want so bad. In time you have to have the air conditioner repaired 7 or 8 times. Always the same problem. Always the same part/repair. You love your car. But, dang it, for 50,000 the frikken air conditioner should work. Even though you can still use the car you have the legal choice to make the Auto Co buy the car back under Lemon laws. This principle is available to all consumers for all purchases. Credit Card CO’s have “chargeback” clauses in place for these situations for purchases made with their products.
I understand the purpose for the heavy handed tone of your post. Sabre rattling is, sadly, a viable tactic in negotiating. I will, however, offer instead the old adage that you catch more flies with honey than vinegar.
