Hi llcoolg
Did u get any response from the publishers mate? coz i think i'll do the same. Far as i can tell they are juz as bad as MESH coz they must know the situation.
Surprise Surprise !!! I did not got a single acknowledgement, let alone a reply !!! Like you I thought it was probably a waste of time, but I was so appalled by Mesh Customer Service I felt it was my duty to do it.
Your nightmare is similar to many I have read. The "Cadra" might be Kadra Ismail. Mesh offered to rebuild my PC to make it useable, but I declined and asked for a refund. The end to my nightmare was :-
19th May 2005:- Returned my PC to Mesh for a refund despite their protests, absolutely no communication from Mesh until ...
23rd June 2005:- Letter from Kadra Ismail, copied below.
28th July 2005:- After a visit from Ms. Paula Anderson of Brent Trading Standards, Mesh gave me a full refund.
So I would suggest you contact Ms. Anderson :-
Phone: 020 8937 5555 for Brent Trading Standards Reception who will put you through to her. It is possible Brent have now joined the "Call Centre" system, but you should still be able to speak to Ms. Anderson.
Email: (e-mail address removed) with “F.A.O. Ms. Paula Anderson Re: Mesh Computers” as the title of your message.
Letter: F.A.O. Ms. Paula Anderson Re: Mesh Computers, Brent Trading Standards, Quality House, 249 Willesden Lane, Willesden, London, NW2 5JH.
Good Luck and Stay Cool
