Hi,<\/p>\n

After waiting two weeks I still have not received any payment from yourselves regarding my phone: Nokia N95.
\nCustomer Reference Number: 974064<\/strong><\/p>\n

Please update me on how much longer I have to wait until I receive the payment of \u00a387.<\/p>\n

Regards,<\/p>\n

Jason Kench<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I will also state that I made the email High Importance (!)<\/strong> and also requested a delivery and read receipt<\/strong> and I never received any receipts although they replied to my email.<\/p>\n

My response from Mobile Phone Xchange:<\/strong>
\n(Tue 19\/01\/2010 09:09)<\/p>\n

Dear customer<\/p>\n

Your handset was accepted on the 17th<\/sup> payment is made three working days after the handset is accepted which dependingon your bank will then take up to three days to clear as available funds.<\/p>\n

Kind regards

Just to update everyone:<\/strong>
\nI have now received payment for my Nokia N95.
\n25 Jan 10 \u2013 BANK GIRO CREDIT REF MOBILE PHONE XCHAN = \u00a387.00<\/p>\n

So from my personal experience I got paid what they stated they would pay me, so I am happy.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong>
\nI put bubble wrap inside the envelope they sent me to make sure if was not damaged in transit. I also recorded a video of the camera working and being packaged up for evidence if needed.<\/p>\n

I wish everyone else good luck with their service and if you have any comments\/issues please post them down below.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
