A law student posted a video on TikTok showing how he strategically handled a clothing brand refusing to give him every fund.
Law student fights for his refund
David Israel (@d.isreal) shared screenshots of emails between himself and the clothing brand. The brand claimed that it couldn't give him a refund as the items he had purchased were on sale and could only be returned for an exchange or store credit.
David reverted to the brand, stating that the items purchased were not fit for purpose and didn't fit the description.
David, who insisted on a refund and not a gift card, further mentioned the Consumer Rights Act of 2015, which requires a retailer to refund monies received the same way they were received.
He also added that he was a legal practitioner who wouldn't hesitate to seek further legal action.
David's email was met with a response from the clothing brand saying they had issued him a refund that would be reflected in his bank account in 3-5 working days.
