Ron in North York

Had a challenging interaction with Simply Smart. My parents were sold a water filtration system they really did not need. We cancelled the contract within 10 days allowed under the Consumer Protection Act clause. In speaking with a representative from Simply Smart stated that there was an $850+tax as a cancellation fee and were not willing to negotiate at all to a reasonable amount. To put this behind my elderly parents, after much back and forth I agreed to pay and posted about my experience online. A day later another representative from Simply Smart called me and told me that they don't charge cancellation fees when cancelling within the Consumer Protection Act timeframe, and that the other representative was incorrect in doing so. They have told me that they are sending me a refund cheque. I've spent a lot of time and energy helping my parents with this issue, and was frustrated with the first representative I spoke to. The second representative on the other hand was very helpful after I wrote about my experience online.
