Back in highschool, our consumer ed teacher made a big deal about this law. About how his wife bought a 'no returns' purse, and the strap broke.... The store insisted there were no returns, but the implied warranty law basically protected him, since when you buy a purse with a strap, you expect to be getting a purse which you can use with a strap. (like your glasses, with the parts attached). Now, a store can sell you a broken purse 'as is', but that's not what you were sold, nor was his wife.Texas Law wrote:Sec. 2.315. IMPLIED WARRANTY: FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Where the seller at the time of contracting has reason to know any particular purpose for which the goods are required and that the buyer is relying on the seller's skill or judgment to select or furnish suitable goods, there is unless excluded or modified under the next section an implied warranty that the goods shall be fit for such purpose.

Never buy stuff at a kiosk. If there's a named manufacturer, send the pair to them. Otherwise junk them and that's that.Isgrimnur wrote:Always check the return policies.
Last weekend, my wife and I bought me a couple pair of sunglasses from a Sunny Shades kiosk in the mall. After 6 days, one of them literally fell apart, the screw mount holding the lens came lose.
When attempting to get them to address the situation, I was advised that their policy was no refunds ever, and no exchanges if you've so much as taken it out of the package.
Congratulations. You've just made that I never do business with you again. And apparently state law in Texas gives me no recourse, even for a defective product, because their policy was posted, no matter how draconian.

That's why their policy works for them. Plus a mall kiosk does not expect repeat business.Isgrimnur wrote:And yet there is no indication of how long that fitness has to hold.
Regardless, our total exposure across both pairs was $25. The effort required to force them to comply is well and truly not worth the time or stress it would cause me. I don't like that it's the case, but...

Dump and burn adds no thrust, just that flame plume.
Make sure he saves more than enough to pay the tax man! Windfalls like that are great, but they typically have unforeseen consequences as tax brackets get shifted around.

Cha-ching! As of next paycheck, he will be able to pay off his student and car loan and be completely debt free.
And wait until the money is in the bank. Sounds like options so he'll still have to buy them at $3.6.RunningMn9 wrote:Make sure he saves more than enough to pay the tax man!

According to the paper they gave him at work, he will have 4k held for two years. 33k will be paid out either this check or next. Taxes will be witheld no mention of having to pay 3.6 per share. Not saying that won't happen, just no mention of that. The sample sheet that he was given at work shows a sample account of 34k and a gross payout of 30k.LawBeefaroni wrote:And wait until the money is in the bank.

Very nice though, congrats to him.
I just got hit with a late payment fee on mine. Problem is I paid my balance in full, as always, before the payment due date. They can't explain why I have the fee but won't remove it either. Synchrony Bank is terrible. I think after I managed to jump through all their hoops to pay online, they still won't admit defeat and are just charging fees anyway.dbt1949 wrote:Well, that was interesting. I was trying to make a payment to my Amazon store account but I had forgot my password. They told me to give my cell phone and they would sent me a code. I have no cell phone.
That was the only way the would do it on the internet.
I called the phone number they gave me. The girl there tried to find me from scratch via the internet. She couldn't do it. So she told me I'd have to send them a copy of a photo id of myself. I told her hell no and asked to talk to a supervisor. She said no and that if I called back any other person there would tell me the same thing.
I talked to Amazon customer service center. Not their problem, contact the bank.
I found a different customer service number for the bank. I talked to a person there that basically told me I was s-o-l as far as the password reset goes. So I asked to make a payment over the phone. And I did. Then I asked for my account to be closed and told them it was because of their incompetent service center. They didn't make any comments but did close my account.
And now all I have to say is
Depending on the size of the company, they might be set up to handle the whole transaction (buy options on margin, sell stocks and use proceeds to pay margin). At my first company I had to find a broker that would handle that for me. When I worked for Intel, I just pressed a button and money showed up.Default wrote:According to the paper they gave him at work, he will have 4k held for two years. 33k will be paid out either this check or next.

$33K sounds a lot like ~4,000 shares at 7.8 ($11.4-$3.6). Whatever the case, he should probably hold off paying off that student loan until he talks to an adviser. No rush on that low interest loan.Default wrote:

Should've just sent the copy of your ID. Seriously.dbt1949 wrote:So she told me I'd have to send them a copy of a photo id of myself. I told her hell no and asked to talk to a supervisor.
Sort of concur - a lot of companies are increasingly protective of your account data. Cell phone texts are an easy automated way for them to verify your identify. It's assumed you'd have your phone with you and that phone can be password protected; if you lose your phone, you cancel the account pretty quick or get a new one. Without proof of who you are, calling from a landline just isn't enough anymore.gilraen wrote:Should've just sent the copy of your ID.

You've never been a woman that has to change her last name on EVERYTHING after getting married. I lost count of how many places I had to email a copy of my DL and marriage certificate: mortgage company, cell phone/internet/TV providers, Amazon, PayPal, every hotel, cruise line and airline loyalty reward program I belong to. Plus other places that have my name that one doesn't normally think about, like Blizzard for my battle.net account (good thing I did since I had to send my DL again a few months ago when I lost my authenticator).Daehawk wrote:Can you imagine it getting lost though?
