On June 4, 2008, I was sold a Dell computer, service tag # 8kcv4g1 with Vista operating system installed. Within a few days it malfunctioned and I was told to contact Dell support. After several calls to foreign speaking technicians I was able to resolve the problem. Within a few days the problem re-occurred and after many phone calls I was told by a Dell expert technician I should let him remove the Vista program and install the older Microsoft X P Operating system, a system I understand will shortly be abandoned by Microsoft. I did not accept this redeculous cure and requested a return authorization from Wall Mart or Dell.

I was told by Wall Mart that since the 15 day return policy had expired I would have to deal with Dell Direct. Upon contacting Dell I was told since I Purchased it from Wall Mart I would have to deal through them.

When I purchased this product I also purchased a $98.88 extended service plan which has been proven to be of no use to me. I continue having various problems with this product to the extent I had to use a different computer to even file this report.

At the present time neither company has offered any help resolving my problem other than continuous temporary fixes to a totally defunct operating system called Microsoft Vista.

#1 UPDATE Employee

It is Dell's responsability

AUTHOR: Spotar - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, December 11, 2008

I am an employee of NEW and I handle calls for the Walton client. The terms and conditions are very clear. Our plan clearly states that our coverage begins at the end of the manufacturer's coverage. Dell provides a one year warrenty on it's products. Therefore it is the sole responsability of Dell to either repair or replace your computer. As to the part about Walmart's return policy, again, the in store return policy is clearly stated at the store. Had you returned it when you first had your problems then they would have gladly taken it back.

So, my comment is that you should place blame where blame is due and not slander others when it is not their responsability to take care of you at that time.
