I bought a second hand 'perfect condition' Bosch washing machine. When it was delivered it was wrapped up in cling film and the guy scribbled a 3 month guarantee on an ordinary notepad and cleared off sharpish.
When unwrapped I saw the plug had been cut off and left 1" of wire sticking out. Endless calls to this guy's telephone followed but no answer.
So I now I have a W/M stuck in the middle of my small kitchen, no plug and I don't even know if it works.
Should I spend more money on getting it wired (any idea how much?) or spend more money getting it taken away??
Advice please & any plumbers in the Hampton/Twickenham area please quote me a price.

Thank you

To answer your question - having little money I bought from a dealer on Gumtree with many sales to his credit.
I reported him to Gumtree and to the Police as a fraudster and the National Fraud office.
Gumtree was not even willing to reveal his name or contact details although they did have them.
So don't buy from Gumtree.
I believe he's still advertising on Gumtree as there are adverts with identical wording to the one I fell for, just a different phone.

Hope that makes you happy.

PS. Lord have MERCY - just for your information

PINCHER and Iva Barchetta

I was replying to a rather sarcastic comment by a member called Lordhavemurci.
Apologies if you took it personally.

My mistake I thought it was pretty general.
I will now unsubscribe and leave you all to it.
