CLAIM

On May 03, 2017, I made a purchase of a cell phone in your store. Turning it on on May 05, 2017, I found that the battery was unable to charge. I took the device to a specialist and received an expert opinion that the fault found was a manufacturing defect.

Based on these facts, I believe that the phone I bought at your outlet turned out to be of poor quality. Based on the text of the Law “On Protection of Consumer Rights”, I am sending a request to return to me the amount of 14,000 (fourteen thousand) rubles paid for the device.

Based on the text of the Consumer Rights Protection Law, I ask you to respond to this application and take actual measures to resolve my issue of refunding money paid for low-quality products by May 21, 2017.

If you do not take these steps, I will be forced to file a claim with the court.
