My sister bought me a pair
of earrings that I liked for my
birthday. The fourth time I
wore them one broke at the
clasp. My sister then relurned
them to the store where she
had bought them only to be
told that they, carried no
guarantee as they were
originally sold as being
fragile merchandise.
I was proud of those
earrings and took good care
of them so I feel that this
earring must have been faul-
ty to begin with, so wonder if
you people can convince the
store of this?
After our call the store
agreed to take a look at the
earring in question and
came to the conclusion that
the clasp had indeed been a
faulty one. Hence our reader
received a brand new set of
earrings.

& ENGRAVING
Last year we paid out over
$2,000 to have vinyl siding
put on our house and since
then the repair men have
been back at our place so
much our neighbours must be
thinking they are permanent
boarders. The trouble is that
the siding keeps on loosen-
ing. The men fix up a troubl-
ed spot and a short time later
it's the same trouble in
another place.
This job is supposed to be
guaranteed but we feel the
job was not done properly in
the first place, and that it
should be completely done
over.
Will you contact this corn-
pony on our behalf?
The manager admits he's
had a lot of trouble with poor
help but has promised to
send a crew out to this job
when he has one available.

Almost a year ago just
now we bought a combina-
tion refrigerator-freezer
which carried a twelve-
month warranty. Well since
just about "day one" we've
had trouble with a faulty seal
at the bottom of the door.
When we noticed it getting
worse we notified the dealer
about our problem and he
promised to get in touch with
the service representative.
That's quite a few months
ago but we still haven't had
• any action, and if this isn't
repaired soon our warranty
will have expired and I have
no intention of paying out
money for something that
wasn't our fault in the first
place.
Can IMPACT help to speed
things up please?
The missing part has now
arrived and your local ser-
viceman should have it to in-
stall, "anytime now."
