Good luck Tyler_Durden and  Andy41 I am also one step away from starting the legal proceedings. Curry's Final email: "Thank you for your prompt response.   I have added your comments to the case above, in order to our correspondence together. Please quote the reference number above in any further contacts regarding this matter.   We are unable to provide any alternative resolve than that offered previously. As discussed, we are happy to provide a payment of £150.00 relating to this matter, in conjunction with the offer provided by Samsung of the SmartThings Hub (v2).   We are unable to offer any further resolve in this matter, and this has been detailed under the case above.  We are happy to pass this payment for processing if required by confirmation.   I apologise for your disappointment in this matter, and regret we are unable to come to a solution acceptable to both parties.   Again, as mentioned, should you wish to take a legal route at this time, then we can only advise that we would look to assist them when they make contact with us.     Please accept my apologies that I am unable to assist you further on this occasion.   Your Sincearly" And my email to which they responded:   Thank you for your response dated 8th December 2018. Since all communications will be provided as evidence to the court, please find my comments below.     "As discussed, Samsung have released he SmartThings Hub (v2) free of charge to affected customers" - Allow me to repeat that the SmartThings Hub (v2) does not provide the same functionality as the one the extender would. Samsung has confirmed that and proof is available.   For instance with the SmartThings Extend, the USB dongle would have enabled the TV to work as an IoT (Internet of Things) hub. This is not possible with the Smartthings hub! You need a mobile phone to control other devices. Curry's website stated "Control and automate your smart home from your TV with Samsung SmartThings". Thus, control your smart home from your TV and not from a mobile phone. Unfortunately, Curry's just repeats the same statement without providing any proof that SmartThings Hub (v2) is a replacement for the Smartthings Extend, which of course it isn't.      "The TV provided meets all specifications at the time of purchase, and we are unable to offer a replacement or refund of an item due to future changes in a manufacturers release schedule." - This is incorrect. Curry's stated at their website that the smartthings was already a feature of the TV. From Curry's website: " With your existing Samsung SmartThings Hub* you can set your TV to turn on as you enter the room, adjust connected lights and speakers, or control hundreds of other compatible smart devices. "  Footnote:"*Free Samsung SmartThings Extend USB adapter available within 2016" Therefore, the TV did not meet all the specification ("existing Samsung SmartThings") at the time of purchase something that even Curry's have admitted on their official web site as can be seen above. Moreover, whilst you may have used information provided by the manufacturer (Samsung), it is your duty to ensure that the information you provide to the consumer is accurate, as this information was used as a basis by me (the consumer) for entering the contract of sale with you (the trader). Thereafter, as I have mentioned in my previous email, I will wait 14 days after receipt of my "Letter before court claim" from Curry's, in order to give a reasonable amount of time to the appropriate Curry's team to carefully read the case and respond, if they decide to do so, by post. Once this has been done, I will issue the proceedings against Curry's in the small claims court without further notice.      Kind regards, ... View more

Same with me! I am not gonna give up anytime soon.  I am raising a case with Citizens Advice. A question: I used a vise credit card for the purchase but I have cancelled the credit card last year. Under Consumer Credit Act 1974 - Section 75 do I need to raise a claim with the Aqua that I got the credit card from, or with Visa credit directly?  As I mentioned I no longer have this credit card, since I cancelled it last year.

Hi guys,  this is the reply I got from Curry's: I contacted curry's and this is part of the response I got back: " We have now been advised that Samsung are offering a  SmartThings Hub (v2), which they happy to provide free of  charge. In order to obtain this, please contact Samsung directly at  support@ smartthings.co.uk . Please note that at this time, this is the only resolution we would offer, as the television is not defective and is fulfilling it's primary propose." Is this SmartThings Hub compatible with 49KS7000 TV? Best, zen ... View more
