I resent having to give this company even 1 star! Please BEWARE before purchasing from this company that their tactics are shrewd at best, but plain disgusting really. My grandmother had a fall and I felt the need to get her an alarm - I chatted online with someone at Lifeline to confirm that there would be a full refund should she not be happy with the unit and wish to return it. The live chat operator confirmed this, so I ordered. On receipt of the device, my gran decided it was too complicated and not for her, so I called Lifeline to arrange the return. I was told that someone would need to call me back (odd). Shannon called me back and was fairly sharp in stating that as I had already paid for three months use upfront, this would not be refunded and could I pass the device to a friend or family member who might want it - I explained that I had spoken with an operator prior to purchase who had confirmed that I could return the device and get my money back. Shannon told me to send the device back and they would process it from there. Minutes later, I missed a call from Shannon, so I called her back. Thankfully I spoke to someone more senior than Shannon who agreed that under the Consumer Protection Rights Act, I was due a full refund - the lady I spoke to was far more helpful and arranged for the returns label to be sent so that I could return the device. I returned the device on 28/02 and my gran has not had any money returned to her as of 09/03, so I called Lifeline to find out what was happening. I was then told that the device had been received, but not yet processed and when it is (next couple of days), that my gran will receive a refund MINUS £35 JOINING FEE. When I asked why, given the Consumer Protection Rights Act legislation that states a minimum 14 day cooling off period allows for a full refund, the representative told me that their terms state the joining fee is non-refundable. I cannot urge people strongly enough NOT to trust this company - I have been underwhelmed and unimpressed by the complete disregard with which they treat their customers and it is extremely concerning given that most of their client base would be elderly or vulnerable so will probably roll over and accept this treatment. I will be consulting Citizens Advice and seeking legal advice - DO NOT BUY FROM THESE PEOPLE!!!
