I purchased a Sony Vaio laptop from Sahni Agencies Pvt. Ltd, shop No. 249, II Floor, Ambience Mall, Gurgaon (owner Parminder Singh Sahni)
Invoice no. 910246 Invoice date- 14-Mar-10
Model no. VPC-EB14EN/BI Price – Rs. 38990.

Mr. Parminder Singh the owner of this Agency offered that the payment of this Laptop will be done in 6 equal monthly installments without interest, if I pay by credit card. After I made the payment he told me that some customers were having problem in converting their amount to EMI but he assured that he will handle it.

When I reported to him that the whole amount was due on my current month and not converted to EMI then he said I have to pay the payment again at his Delhi shop (61, community Center, Basant Lok, Vasant Vihar, New Delhi-57) and told that he will pay the amount of the last transaction that was not converted to EMI’s. So I payed again at his delhi shop on 02/04/2010. He gave me the cheque no. 90210621 (Pundab & Sind Bank) amounting Rs. 38210 favoring my HDFC card number. He told that 2% tax has been deducted and he will get it reimbursed on next purchase.
This cheque also got bounced, due to which I have to pay Rs. 1000 as penalty and now I am feeling very much cheated by this person, who is the owner of this Agency. I am feeling very much depressed and in a mental trauma, as my hard earned money got stuck with this disloyal and dishonest person.

I trusted the Sony’s Brand name and thought that company like Sony is multinational and would have properly checked the authenticity of their dealers but all my gut feelings got wrong.

I am not sure what to do next and how can I get my money back and also how to take any legal action against that person.

Please suggest and help.

Thanks
Rishi
