Mercedes-Benz' recent reshuffling of its vehicle naming structure has led the rebranding of the Mercedes-Benz M-Class, which will be known as the GLE-Class beginning with the 2016 model year. Although the GLE-Class is essentially the M-Class, Mercedes-Benz refreshed the midsize SUV for 2016.
Raymondj0: Good morning to the auto gurus, my dad called me dis morning to explain what's going on with his car. Audi A4, he said the car will start but will not raise finish, which is making it unable for the car to move. If you start the car 100 times, it'll start but when you try to raise the sound... The engine will stop.. If you start it again.. It'll start but when you try to raise the sound so you can continue driving it'll stop. According to him, he called audi mechanics in town and car rewires, all are saying the brain box is having a code and the best thing is to change the brain box completely, my question now is that, can brain box changes make it work perfectly again or what do you think is the prob.lem...
MaestroID: Honda Accord 1998 model. In good working condition as the en.gine and gear is sound, neat body, not registered, used a little and parked for a while, just A.C that needs fixing.
I have bought a handful of items from Dearygally, all of which currently runs into N200k+, including the freezer I recently bought which has become a problem. So here's what I noticed from our transactions over time, FULL DISCLOSURE IS NEVER HER STRENGTH even though she hs quick to label them 'working perfectly' and two different items I bought from her left me confused and disturbed but I did not bother her or feel the need to disturb her.
Consider these two cases:
1. I bought 3 ceiling fans from her of which two are working perfectly. However, one didn't work perfectly until I changed its capacitor while one runs at snail speed even after changing the capacitor. I did not make a fuss about this and I doubt she ever heard a thing from me.
2. I bought a 43' inches Hisense TV from her, she showed me a video and I transferred instantly to her. When the TV arrived, it did without a remote and when I called to inquire why it was so, she said I could easily buy a remote for N700-N800. However, I wondered why she never mentioned it.
To the freezer...
I messaged her on the 7th of November if she had a freezer since we were no strangers to one another. I placed a call as she wasn't responding and after we talked, she sent some pictures...
In the end, she recommended[b][/b] a chest freezer (which was what I wanted as we have a double door fridge in the bedroom and do not want any fridge) and I trusted her judgement instantly and we negotiated its price, which was eventually N65,000. The same almost she first valued it. We arrived at this because I had factored in logistics to move but she told me over the phone that the delivery would be a part free and she'd know how to augment it as they were picking up some other item at the location.
Then later, she sent me a video of the freezer. But here's what I want everyone to notice from the video below;
1. The lid light is not working IN THE VIDEO SHE MADE. 2. No FOOD, WATER OR WHATEVER WAS REMOVED TO INDICATE IT WAS FREEZING. 3. The whitish interior that shows it is freezer is actually in fact the body of the freezer, even power is out for 10 days. Strangely, you could easily see the video and conclude it was freezing.
The promise initially was that the freezer would be delivered SAME DAY but rain prevented it which was not a problem. On November 8th, the following day, I did not take custody of the freezer and the driver strangely reached out late in the night to apologize for not bringing it down. Despite sending money to her on the 7th of November in the afternoon, I DID NOT TAKE CUSTODY of the freezer until the 9th after being incommunicado for a whole day but this was not the point...
The freezer did not arrive until about 3 hours+ later and I immediately messaged her to tell her that I wanted to test it out and would share my thoughts afterward.
Before I powered it, I noticed the inside of the freezer was almost all white like it's freezing. Note that this was just when it was delivered and there was no sign that it was recently disconnected from power. After trying to look out for signs such as buzzing or cranky sound, I turned it off and went about my business. The whole turning off did not go beyond 5 minutes.
She called me a while later and was tensive, saying I shouldn't have switched it on because it could cause blockage blah, blah, blah... I told her the delivery guy said the same but I doubt checking to see if it powers on and leaving it on for five minutes is much of a problem. She claimed it could be affected even for just five minutes. Sincerely, it left me unbothered because I was no novice when it comes to refrigerating sets. I moved my double door fridge on an interstate journey for 8 solid hours and powered it on immediately and it works perfectly.
Anyways, I told her I would not be powering it until 24 hours time according to her recommendation, plus I was taking a very short trip which means the freezer would have settled until I returned.
The blame game starts...
On the 15th when I returned, I powered the freezer for over four hours only for my fears to start materializing... A single sachet water struggled to chill and even get blocked. The lower part of the freezer showed signs of chilling but the upper parts were dead, like someone whose limbs are not responsive.
Almost immediately, she sent me a previous picture, claiming she personally emptied the freezer when she got to there, meaning it was freezing perfectly. I know the workings of freezer perfectly as I have an older Midea that still works perfectly but left behind at my previous apartment.
Surprisingly, she flipped the blame game script and claimed my action of switching on the freezer when it was brought in must have been responsible. She responded with a screenshot of my own conversation and said she "was hoping and praying when I told me this" (possibly in genuine fear that something could go wrong...
The following day, I made sure to test the freezer for 7 hours 25 minutes and the best it did was chill the water I kept in and not freeze at all. Angered at the way, she and her technician were missing each other's calls, I got a technician to take a look at it, primarily to clear the blockage based on the screenshot she sent me only to get a shock from the technician's investigation. According to the technician:
1. The gas was newly filled. 2. The compressor has been tampered with/modified already. 3. The LED lid light had been worked on before and some core parts of the LED has been yanked off.
Immediately, madam seller went full defensive. I naturally wouldn't have problems fixing this stuff but her readiness to heap the fault on me was so glaring at this point. Plus, I noticed she was not forthcoming in any way but still kept my cool regardless. I also noticed, she made pretty decent references to the 'previous owners' which was actually surprising. I feel I don't know them and have no business with them. Why then are they coming into the discussion?
The following day, 18th of November, this lady literally ghosted on me. I sent her messages in the evening. She read them but did not respond. By this time, I was already piecing 1 and 2 together.
Take Responsibility... Enters the second technician
On the 19th of November, communication had been one sided at this point and she was not hiding the fact that she did not want to get involved. I poured my heart out in a series of messages and she claimed she had forwarded them to whomever. I wasn't interested in whom she forwarded them to but I was well aware of what was playing out at this point. That night, the freezer scared me to death as some gassy smell filled it. I immediately switched it off and left it open.
That same day I got the contact of a former Thermocool technician who now works alone. The guy came over the following day (November 20th) and made an assessment of the freezer. According to him:
1. My putting on the freezer has nothing to do with its current problems. 2. The compressor had been tampered with already and he clearly explained this. 3. The fact that I was hit by a gassy smell the night before means that the iron pipe that runs round the freezer is corroded and leaking and the way to fix it is by running a copper pipe. 4. The gas seems like it was recently fixed and whoever owned it deliberately filled the gas but knew the pipes were leaking. 5. Cost of repair would be N25,000.
At this point, I felt exploited, used and played. I messaged madam seller to inform her of my disappointment and that I would be involving the police in order to settle for a full refund as I do not plan on shelling out 25k to fix it when she had been claiming it was working 'perfectly' and that my switching it on was responsible for the fault. I made sure to capture the technician's assessment as I suspected I would be needing it and forwarded it to her.
I gave her an alternative in the place a refund is not realistic. Either you come down to monitor and supervise its fixing while you pay for its repair or send the money to the technician.
Immediately, she called me on the phone and said I should 'calm down' and that she would send me the number of the previous owner. That way, I can take it up with him while she sits out and that the person is 'untouchable'; that if I involve the police, he would involve his lawyer! In that moment, every grain of respect I had for this lady flew out the window. Immediately, I told her I had no dealings with the previous owner as I did not send him any money, that whatever issue I have is with you and none else. I gave her some time to come up with a response in order to decide my next line of action...
Knowing full well that her hands her tied, she sent me a screenshot of my previous message where I said I would get a police and a technician to do the assessment. I already knew her stand at this point and while I was heading to Ketu divisional police station, my fiancee called her, only for her to claim I should at this point ready my police, soldiers and lawyers and since I am stubborn, she is waiting for them all. TF?!?! I was livid when my fiancee called to tell me she was truly arrogant and confident when they spoke.
The moment she showed up at the station, she spinned some lies I wanted to react to but the police asked me to let her talk. The agreement before leaving on that day was that she would send her own technician to do their own assessment.
Enters...her technician
A couple of days later, her technician and delivery guy showed up. According to her technician:
1. The freezer's compressor had been modified/tampered with. 2. The gas was recently filled and whoever did did in the knowledge knowing the gas was leaking. 3. The iron pipe needs to be replaced with a copper pipe. 4. The LED light is damaged and a new one may be scarce. 5. When the pipes that run in freezers are replaced, chances of the compressor going bad is extremely high. As a matter of fact, IT WILL GO BAD, MAYBE IMMEDIATELY, MAYBE IN TWO MONTHS TIME, ETC. 6. He would charge N30,000 to fix it, more expensive than the technician I called. 7. My turning it on the moment it was brought in had nothing to do with its problem.
I also made sure to record him without knowing it as well, which makes two technician videos corroborating the same thing.
With the new revelation, madam seller's delivery man started pleading with me to find a way out. Knowing what I know now, I was bent on seeking redress without contributing. I told him she has to provide the full money to repair the freezer. He begged and claimed she is only arrogant and does not have the money to fix it. After a lengthy conversation, I told him to tell her to send N15k while I balance the N10k for repairs. He claimed it was fair and they both left. This was November 25th.
Way forward...?
The following day, her delivery guy asked me to send her account details, that she wants to pay up her part. When I forwarded my details to her via text, I surprisingly got a N10,000 credit from her. Immediately, I sent another SMS to her, asking her to complete it up, that I will not be accepting that money. I waited for 17 minutes, heard nothing from her and transferred the money back to her immediately.
About two days after, we were due to appear at the police station. However, her delivery man called me while I was enroute to not show up, that she is a stubborn fellow but that she would do the needful before the end of the day. Nothing to this day. Not a word from her or him concerning it anymore.
A couple of days later, I called a guy whom I thought was another delivery guy as he was the one who delivered the TV but he claimed to be her boyfriend and that they would pay, that I should give them a week. A week passed on Saturday and he has not called nor responded.
Seeking redress
It is simple for me and would be one of three things. I have already fixed the freezer and I documented every repair as it was done right there in front of my flat:
1. Pay up the 25k for repair while I bear the responsibility for the compressor should it go bad. 2. We split the 25k and I pay 10k while she pays 15k but will bear the brunt of the compressor should it go bad and I would want it in writing. 3. She does a refund of my N65k+N25k for buying and repairs to pick up the freezer.
I have made it known I will not be settling for less. I will treat her the way she .has presented herself so far. I will be uploading pictures of the repairs shortly.
I promised I would share all went down with myself and a particular seller (deargall.y) who sold to me a terrible refrigerator and claimed she was sure that 'it was working perfectly'.
Out of respect to the police officers who have been kind enough to talk me into being patient, I would not share tonight. She has been marked for arrest on Friday if she fails to turn up (as she didn't show up today on the premise that she is busy).
I am itching on passing this on to the military to handle her the best way they know how to. Unfortunately, I left the station today with the OC who was present the first day the case was presented, having talked me down into not doing anything but come again on Friday..
I will wait until then...
You need your freezer. Let her fix it. That should be your only way out as she's been a very good supplier to you. Deargallly kindly do the needful. Send the money or get the technician to fix it for him. Just give us the timeline and we'll monitor from here. So we can all be happy.
dearygally: I have refused to exchange words or be aggressive not because of age factor but because he is a customer no matter what ....he has slandered me and threatened but I want him to please himself all through...you goes about saying my BOYFRIEND called and very soon he will provide the boyfriend I introduced to him...he knows my house and I have sold him very good deals so far...so he knows I am not hiding but I know my rights and I am coughing out whatever the money on my own cos the seller stand on the fact that the freezer was working perfectly well which I kn.ow it was
zuraking: I see people like you in category of people that abuse power because u think you know the law, my dear, you are just dumb and full with empty threats Just like a normal Nigerian.
"Police don't recover debt" in Nigeria constitution and they will bill you and also bill the person you reported therefore at the end of the day u will be on a big loss.
Using army is also illegal and you guys will be screaming online when big men use it on poor people but you are planning the same.
If you are a big man with lot of law enforcement officers as u have been bragging, then you should have walked down to LG shop and buy new refrigerator.
deargally or whatever your name is, sometimes, the ball isn't in your court and u have to thread with caution to avoid you being Marked a fraudster. There are ways u can handle a customer who has bought goods of over 200k from you. Even if you don't know the refrigerator won't work, it's still your full responsibility to sort it out with the buyer. sometimes you win and sometimes you lose in business. Don't look down on anyone like they can't do nothing because u are hiding on the back of internet. It takes just few minutes. for those Abba kyari SARS guys to track your location and deal with your ass be it man or woman. So kindly respect yourself and clear your customer from this mess.
hansomb: I like it like that. But hope you know you can only use 2 SIM without memory card or 1 memory card one SIM card on Redmi note 7 pro. No android 11 upgrade means slower and outdated software experience, 1030 mah less battery, 0.23 inch less screen size. No miui Enhanced version not even the upcoming miui 13. No micro camera, no. ultra wide camera. As for processing they on par with each other. So tell me what I don't know.
